Djokovic Continues his 34 match win streak




Hey Everyone!

So I'm just going to write a quick post about Novak Djokovic and his 34 win match streak. It is going to be something worth watching in 2011 to see if he can beat John McEnroe's 42-0 match streak!

Novak recently beat Rafael Nadal in Madrid to win the Madrid Open. This was the first time Djokovic beat Nadal on clay in 10 attempts. Nadal, the number 1 player in the world said: ''I came up against a great player obviously - he's having a monster year; He was better, you have to accept that.'' Djokovic also beat Nadal in the finals at Indian Wells and Miami.

It's an understatement to say Djokovic is the 2nd best player in the world right now when clearly he is number 1. Not only did he beat Nadal on clay, but this was Nadal's first loss on a clay court in 2 years! Just goes to show how dominate he is on the clay court. So honestly, it's only a matter of time until Novak becomes number 1 in the world, even Rafa admitted that. ''The No. 1 ranking is not in danger - it's finished. Let's not lie to ourselves, that's the reality,'' Nadal said. ''Nobody likes to lose. I have to see what's missing and working with a cool, open mind to decipher things and find the solutions. To try to do a little better next time.''

I really think this is one of the more exciting tennis years so far. With all of the changes in the world rankings, and the new rivalry between rafa and Djokovic. We can't forget about Roger Federer either. It has become an international game, with no American, Male or female, in the top 10 in the world rankings...thats a first. The rest of the tennis season should be a good one to watch!
