You might be right Steve but the reason I favor Djokovic is because I think he’s a better mover, maybe better returner than Agassi, and just a little better than AA. Unless Pete served near perfectly for the entire match I can see Djokovic getting Pete’s serve back enough. Great contrasting styles match though. Just think Djokovic has the game that would drive Pete nuts. More so than Agassi was able to do the few times he beat him in slams.

Perhaps like the Safin final at the US Open.

Ha Dan you WERE two sets off in the 100 percent right Novak prediction.
(Who am I to talk – I picked Murray to win if it went five sets with Novak – it went five and Murray lost! I also picked Federer over Nadal but Federer foiled again by overconfidence).
So here we go for the WTA: going for the safe pick in Sharapova. I like Azarenka’s drive but I think it’s like Coca Cola Classic vs. New Coke: the classic is better. Props to Azarenka though – she really want to be a champion.
Azarenka might be the WTA’s Andy Murray at the moment. Would be interesting if they both win a slam this year.
I really do think that Murray has now legitimately become the best player to never win a slam. Three slam finals, no dice. I think he has a good shot of making his 4th final this year. If not, see ya Lendl.
As for Jelena, I will say that Djokovic is defending titles and winning hearts out there. Good job Novak.

Agree Andrew, Murray is the best player to never win a slam.
