Is it going to be a record stretching #30 Masters for Novak or will Kei be third time lucky and win his first?

Novak served better in the 2nd set against Gael, but Nishikori will be applying pressure on his serve right from the get go in the Final. His 2nd serve average was like 135 kmh this match against Gael. Downside, was Novak was super solid from the baseline. Come on Ninja!
 
If it turns out to be anywhere close in terms of quality to their most recent match in Rome, we are in for a real treat. :)
 
It's been a while since he won Canada...

Still I would rather see him lose it if it means he will win either one of the next two events.
 
Novak won't win Cincy this year I guess he should skip it after Olympics ?

Who's gonna stop him?, probs only Murray can, with fed out the season, muzza is his biggest threat right now in any of these events. Rafa will be rusty on return but will make progress but not at the best level straight away. Stan gone backwards, the other younger generations still not good enough or got the belief to get to next level.

Next events and many going forward look between Novak and Andy.
 
I think its time to sit back and watch Nole vacuum up everything and enjoy his tennis. Even Thiem has fallen off a cliff these days.
It really is a vacuum now. I've never jumped on the "weak era" argument before, but I will now. Stan is a disappointment, Nadal and Federer out, no one stepping up. Murray is the only other guy left standing. No one is around to stop Novak except Novak himself.

There is big 3, then Murray, then stan and rest of the mugs follow. Hope Novak don't lose a Final to a mug. Last time this happened was before 2011.

Hope Kei can take advantage of Novak´s new 2nd serve. No one has shown interest in crushing those 75 mph serves landing in the middle of the box :(
I think he'll get some breaks of serve; the question is if he can beef up his own service to prevent being broken more often.

Big what? It is done and dusted. If Nadal comes back he may win some matches but I doubt he will win GS or 1000 again. Fed - put simply, forget about it. If he comes back he will be like Anderson. Both of them are lucky to be top 10 in this weak era. If this era was any stronger Nadal would be prob Top 10-13 and Fed until now Top 8-10, after 2016 Fed will drop further and may hope to mirror (if) what Goran did. Anything else is just a wet dream.
