Federer Sets the Stage for the U.S. Open
Novak Djokovic is confident in spite of his recent loss.
Even after Novak Djokovic lost to the Association of Tennis Professionals' top-ranked player, Roger Federer, 28, he is feeling confident in his skills for the U.S. Open.
It looks like Djokovic's luck is turning around. On Saturday, Djokovic, 22, beat Rafael Nadal 6-1, 6-4 in yesterday's semifinal.
Djokovic said, "Overall, it's been a great week for me - I got a lot of matches in before the U.S. Open, so I'm satisfied."
"Everybody is playing (great) tennis. Those two guys, Nadal and Federer, and of course (Andy) Murray, they're all playing fantastic tennis. Roger and Rafa are maybe two of the best players that ever played this game. Roger for sure is. It's kind of hard because they raise their level in the final stages of the tournaments, especially the finals. So for me to reach the final stages is a big success. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to get some titles," said Djokovic, according to Reuters.
Federer has won 15 Grand Slam tennis titles which include this year's French Open and Wimbledon tournaments, according to Bloomberg.com.
Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal wrote, "There will be no doubts about Mr. Federer's return to Federocity."
The U.S. Open will be held from Aug. 31 to Sept. 13.
