Pretty hard matches to crack today. Thankfully I skipped picking on Rafa today, memories from French Open were too strong and I had a bad feeling that Soderling might, even on fairly slow surface punish Rafa middle court short balls badly and he did. In second match I expect a repeat clash of the giants like in Shanghai, but this time I think Nole will be a little bit better. It's kinda a final clash for me, two players in best form from whole final eight and over 22.5 games looks like a good bet, but as I say more risk, more fun, I'll try to predict something bigger. In my opinion Djokovic is well rested after a week of break and still steaming hot after good run in Basel and Paris. He really plays top tennis against top players and after this match I will take up decision to lay or not to him to defend Finals crown. Davydenko what he can do with his twisted ankles and wicked cross courts we all saw in Shanghai final where he drilled Rafa badly. Djokovic I think in Shanghai was still building up form and now he is slightly better and I believe he is the one to take up more experience and find better solution for re-match. Still Djokovic is also kind of one-setter letting go player, I saw many matches of his where he was playing good for 2 sets and pretty rubbish in 1. Davydenko for sure have firepower to bite a set, he might even win today's clash, it's a hard to pick a winner here, it should be very tight, but I got a feeling that this time Nole will take the thriller as a winner.
