Default Decisive moment in this season? Rome final!

Before Rome Djokovic had four losses:

Against Murray in Dubai, but that was Atp 500

Against Isner in Indian Wells, but Isner served great in that match

Against Nadal in Monte Carlo, but that was after grandfather's death and Rafa is strongest in Monte Carlo

Against Tipsarevic in Madrid on blue clay, possible tank job.

In Rome SF Djokovic destroyed Federer and appeared to be ready to fight vs clay God, but then finals was played on Monday because of rain, a few bad judges decisions, double fault on match point and all this coincided with Nadal's great plays.

After that Djokovic struggled in RG with Seppi and Tsonga and lost the finals against Nadal.

Djokovic looks to be recovered from all heavy defeats with great end of season, I hope he will win Roland Garros next year.

Djokovic won't be winning Roland Garros next year, not with Nadal in surprisingly good form.

But we do not know in what form Nadal will be, and without the "best" Nadal, Djokovic is the favorite for the RG title.

Didn't you just say a couple of days ago that you did not think Nadal would end 2013 in the top ten and you thought he would drop to top 20??

Final in Rome already indicated that what will be result in Roland Garros final.

Btw before beating Federer in straights, Djokovic almost lost to Tsonga.

Nadal got great confidence after finals in Rome, as he himself said.

What did he do that made you change your mind? There was nothing spectacular in any of those practice videos at all.

Just the fact that he's making an effort to get back into form. Everybody knows that Nadal is a danger on every surface when he isn't injured. Nadal has turned it around before, it isn't too late for him to do it again.

Well,I disagree. If Nadal plays RG next year we will get our answer.

Clarky, are you kidding? He will be playing Roland Garros next year, that would be his main goal.
