US Open 2007: What about Novak Djokovic?

Novak Djokovic is perhaps the most talked about male tennis player at this moment. He recently shocked everyone in Canada by defeating almost all the top male tennis players in a tournament. What about Novak Djokovic in US Open Tennis 2007? Some people are thinking about Federer-Nadal final. So, where does Djokovi stand in this calculation in US Open 2007? This is a difficiult question to answer. I think that he will play well in US open. Djokovic is becoming a matured player very fast and if he can keep his form then he will be a threat for any player in US Open 2007.

The Age wrote:

Peter Johnston is the tournament director who lured Djokovic to play the ATP's Next Generation Adelaide International in January. "Three years ago, we received a request from Dejan Petrovic, a South Australian who is now captain of the Serbian Davis Cup team for a qualifying wildcard for Novak," Johnston says. "We rejected the request as we were looking to provide the Aussies with the wildcard opportunities. Three years later, Mark Woodforde and I were chasing him trying to get him as a headline attraction for the 2007 event. We were able to secure his appearance last October, when his ranking was 12 in the world, but even then we were conscious that very few Aussies knew who he was."

Thus, it is clear that Djokovic is improving very fast and he has the potential to become the top player in the world. Now, we have to see how he performs in US Open 2007.
