Djokovic replaced Nadal as world number one after he beat him in last year's Wimbledon final, and he defeated the Spaniard again in the US Open decider as he took the season by storm. Those two victories were among six consecutive wins over Nadal -- all in finals -- during one of the greatest campaigns in tennis history which included the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the French Open titles. The defending champion, who reached the final in Melbourne after five gruelling sets against Britain's Andy Murray late on Friday, is expecting another tough, physical battle against second-seeded Nadal. "I think that's going to be crucial, you know, for me to recover and to be able to perform my best, because Rafa is fit. He's been playing well. He had an extra day. He definitely wants to win this title," Djokovic said. (AFP) Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites           |
