I don't think he's likely to. The guy was likely very tired and he'd said he was trying to get used to the surface after a longer grass court season. He'll still be full of confidence coming into the US Open after winning such a big tournament.

Today in the final Djokovic was just outplayed completely. Didn't think I'd see the day he was bagelled 6-0 in a set, but it happened! Federer looking good for the US Open. I think it could be very close between Murray, Fed and Djokovic for the slam. Could be interesting!

Last time he was bagelled was in 2006 Aus Open by Safin

In the US Open Murray isn't going to play like he did against Chardy but he is also likely not play like he did in the Olympics. It is hard to play at that level consistently.

Bagelling Djokovic is a huge achievement. Federer bagelled Nadal and Djokovic, only Murray is left.

Favourites for the US Open are Federer, Djokovic and Murray obviously. I think Murray and Federer has more chances to win it than Djokovic.

I think we were pretty sure Djokovic was not going to be as good as he was last year cause it is hard to repeat something like that. But I expected him to still dominate tennis this year. When he won the Australian Open this year, I expected him to still dominate, not as good as last year but still dominate. I guess I was wrong.

I think Murray just needs to get ot the SF of US Open to overtake Nadal

Federer will remain No.1 after the US Open. Even if Djokovic wins the US Open, he will still remain No.2.

It will be awesome if he ends the year at world number 1. It will be another record I think.

I agree with that, with Del Potro, and Tsonga as outsiders

Djokovic wasn't going to be on the exact same form as 2011, but i expected more from him this year. It's like 2011 Djokovic has packed his bags and left.

I was half joking with that Murray-Chardy comment

. I know Murray won't play like that at the US Open.

Unless Federer does terrible? Which he most likely won't

Samoon · 08-20-2012, 03:53 AM

I am not sure but I read an article which said that Federer is guaranteed to be No.1 after the US Open regardless of the US Open results. I think it is because Djokovic has to defend 2000 points in the US Open if I am not wrong.

**Tyler Durden** · 08-20-2012, 04:59 AM

Yea he won it last year so yea
