Novak Djokovic 2010
Novak Djokovic is yet to be tested at this year’s Australian Open as he came through another straight forward match against Lukasz Kubot winning 6-1 6-2 7-5.
Of the eight men left in the competition Djokovic has had the easiest draw and has come into some fine form in the last week.
Djokovic need just twenty eight minutes to wrap up the opening set as there was little resistance from Kubot, who made it to the quarter finals after his fourth round opponent Youzney had to withdraw with injury.
I was more of the same in the second as Djokovic, who is hoping to get his hands on the Australian Open title for the second time after winning in 2007, needed another thirty three minutes to take a two set lead.
However Kubot wasn’t finished and finally in the third set Djokovic had a match on his hand as the Pole began to fight back. Read the rest of this entry »

Novak Djokovic at end of long season
Novak Djokovic facing physical test
Novak Djokovic is just trying to hold on through this week at the end of a long and draining season which has resulted in the Serb putting pressure on his rivals in a press to move towards the world No. 2 ranking.
Djokovic stretched his current win streak to 11 straight matches with his late-night defeat of Nikolay Davydenko in nearly three hours at the ATP World Tour Finals.
But his upcoming group date with dangerous swede Robin Söderling has the winner of three titles in six weeks concerned about his durability.
“Generally I’m very exhausted because of the long season”, confessed Djokovic, whose weak point used to be that he had no stamina and was beset with breathing problems. “But when you have bad days and still manage to find a way to win, that’s something that is great to have in your game”.
Djokovic is coming on strong behind No. 2 Nadal, next man ahead of him in the ranking queue. But he can also see that the Spaniard is struggling to get through to the end of what for him as been a poor season.
The Serb is more concerned about playing Söderling, French Open finalist who became the first man to eve beat four-time winner Nadal at Roland Garros. “We’re gonna have a tough match, there are no easy ones here. I just hope physically I recover”.
