It will be interesting to see how he is going at the end of the season this year, having undoubtably tailed off last season after his US Open triumph.

I don't see any tailing off since the US Open triumph. 

Of course if one sees the US Open as some sort of destiny fulfilment event, then failure to repeat it is indeed a disappointment. But let's get real - Djokovic is a significantly better player than Andy, and my guess is that he'll win 4 out of 5 of their matches (and in fact it's 8-2 head to head in their last 10 "big" matches). The US Open was just the 1 out of the 5.

Yes I do tend to agree with that. However I was, like a lot of people, hoping to see Andy kick on after his US Open triumph. His performances in big matches since then have largely been disappointing. I do tend to wonder what might have been had he not thrown away the Shanghai final. That would have made 3 wins in a row, all in big matches against Djokovic and might have established a mental edge in their rivalry.

Yes, fair points guys. 'Tailed off" is probably very relative and indeed relative to many of our hopes and / or expectations.

Not a particularly start:  Andy was broken to 30 in his opening service game, but immediately broke back to 13.  *1-2...

Ah, no wonder I couldn't understand why my post hadn't appeared!   No idea how that happened. I hadn't even had that much to drink at that point...
