Rome Masters Series 1000 - Final
2 Novak Djokovic d 1 Rafael Nadal - 64 64
WOW. Just, wow.
2011 recap: 37-0 with a run of 7 titles - 4 of them at the Masters 1000 level.
He'll be the 1st player since John McEnroe in '84 to head to RG with a loss.
And to be fair to Nole - the Aussie Open was played in Dec not in Jan.
This marked Nole's 25th career title, 2nd at Rome and 9th MS1000 trophy.
Today Novak became the 1st player to beat Rafa 4 consecutive times.
All in MS1000 finals: Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Rome.
His other 3 titles this year were at Australian Open, Dubai & Belgrade.
He also joins Rafa & Roger's record of 4 MS1000 titles in a single year.
And with 4 more still to play this season...
With only Qf points to defend at RG the countdown to #1 should not be long.
It's worth repeating: WOW. Just, wow.
