If Rafa can get past the mental part he should beat Djok in 4. I don't know if he can, however, and I still have an awful feeling Djok wins it all. He's in Rafa's head the way Rafa used to be in Fed's. That Aussie Open loss for Rafa reminded me of the 5 set epic Fed lost to Rafa in Australia, just brutal.

You don't think that's changed a little with Rafa's two recent convincing clay court wins over Nole? Seems to me that those two wins will end up being a key momentum shift back in this rivalry, and, if anything, not only does Rafa no longer have that "doubt" in his head going up against Nole, but Nole no longer can have that feeling of invincibility against Rafa. Nole has to feel like the big underdog going against Rafa if they end up in the finals.

I don't think Djoker's in Rafa's head at all. I mean Rafa has won the last two matches on clay pretty convincingly. Also, the Aussie Open has always been Rafa's weakest slam while the plexicushion surface suits Nole's game perfectly and Rafa pushed him to five there. I remember Djoker completely dominating him in the fourth set in Australia yet Rafa was able to win that set by saving a ton of break points which showed his mental toughness. Nole will have to elevate his game to beat Rafa because I don't see Rafa lowering his level on clay anytime soon. He's a buzzsaw right now.

Not anymore he's not.

I think if Rafa and Djoke met in the finals tomorrow, Rafa would beat him convincingly in three sets. I wouldn't be surprised to see Rafa beat him something like 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.
