Captain Obvious, weighing in. Voice of Experience. LOL!
Needs to go for winners when there's an opening. And get a high % of 1st serves in so his 2nd doesn't get abused.
Oh, and win the 1st set....

Blake would never beat peak Nadal, especialy the one who won his 2 U.S Opens in a slam. Not in a million years. He did well vs baby Nadal who was just a clay specialist. I dont see mental midget Chokeydenko ever beating Nadal in a slam either. I guess we will never know in Davydenko's case, but I suspect if they played in slams it would turn out to be like the Graf- Gabriela Sabatini rivalry where Chokeatini could beat Graf in all the small tournaments, but always lost when it mattered in a slam.
Nadal would have to play out of his mind to win those matches, LOL! The likes of Roddick and Blake are the ones who would have to play out of their mind to have a hope to ever beat peak Nadal in a slam, not vice versa.

For todays standards it is still in the top half of a faster court though. If Murray is really 7-0 vs Djokovic on "fast courts" and still trails the head to head 12-8 then he must be an utterly useless slow court player then.

If Berdych could push (probably peak) Nadal at the AO (conditions at USO are even faster, which would suit Blake's game more) in 2012 (arguably his best AO performance, alongside with 2009), I really don't see the reason why Blake wouldn't do the same.
Blake moves 10 times better than Berdych and plays a type of tennis that always troubles Nadal on HC.
You can think of Davydenko whatever you want, but that "mental midget" absolutely owns Nadal on HC and is the only player who's actually beaten him in the match where Nadal had match point(s) - it wasn't a slam, but it just shows that he has never been scared of Nadal. He might be a mental midget, but he certainly isn't one against Nadal.
My point was that a draw can be tough (for Nadal) even without Djokovic and Federer - maybe not in 2010/2013, but it was certainly the USO 2006 draw.
And it's a joke to say that Nadal was only a clay court specialist in 2005. He won more on HC in 2005 than Pete on clay in his whole career, including the only title on his worst surface/conditions - fast indoor hard court. Not to mention that he reached Wimbledon final in 2006 - not a typical result of a clay court specialist at all.

Djokovic even at 75% of his best form is the GOAT, it's a known fact.
I saw the score, but missed the match, so the final part of my prediction came true, but can anyone comment on whether the bolded prediction above was accurate in the 3rd and 4th sets? Thanks.

Maybe that was the main reason but wind speed is a significant factor.
That's not the case obviously, Djokovic with 75% surely beatable from main rivals Fed, Nadal.

The match was so late I had no chance of watching it.
Can someone tell me whether Murray pursued aggressive tactics or got sucked into the counter punching style they seem to love playing against each other?
