you are the underdog, dear clown and ravishing serb. but it does not matter to me. i am willing you onwards to your maiden grand slam. this is the most fantastic way to cap a brilliant year that has seen you catapulted to the top tier of men's tennis.beating roger in montréal three weeks ago is nothing compared to beating him on the largest stage of hard court tennis of all, flushing meadows, a place roger has owned since 2004. i would like to think that you are much much better than andy roddick and andré agassi were when roger snuffed out their hopes (besides, they had already both won it previously at the time of their losses).
stand by what you said in your press conference yesterday, "i simply have to believe that i can win it and play accordingly" (as opposed to just playing your best, because that gives a margin for losing, which is not an option!).
if roger four-peats at flushing meadows, it will be a no less great night. this is THE final of the year. ajde novak! :)

this, certainly, has the promise of a game played beyond the ordinary.
novak has the right attitude. the great ones are undaunted by the enormity of the task before them, no matter how overwhelming it may be to others.
like Ali against Foreman, Namath against the Colts or Evander against Iron Mike.
or Boris Becker playing in his first Wimbledon final.
