After doing a very good match against Tsonga in the quarterfinals, Rafael Nadal Djokovic could do nothing

Rafael Nadal came within one step of the final Masters Bercy 1,000 semifinals before succumbing to Novak Djokovic, who displayed a hurricane play well above the level of Mallorca to win by 6-2, 6-3 hour and a quarter of the game.

The Spanish hit its peak in quarter-final against France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and fell in soft tennis, lacking aggressiveness and strength. Too weak against a huge Djokovic, who got all that was proposed and outpaced the Spaniard in all phases of the game. Proved to be the best player to the end of the year. The twenty duel between two and three of the world disappointed because Spanish was not up to the Serbian.

They are promised the audience happy Bercy, unaccustomed to being the best in the world go far in the its indoor season-ending tournament. He dreamed of a duel-like dog face Nadal and Djokovic who starred in the 1000 Madrid Masters last May, a party memorable. But they stayed with the desire for superiority of Djokovic and Nadal crushed the competition had no chance to hook into a meeting at which the Serbs had given cruising speed.

Nadal was more that of the first two games of the Bercy "brilliant" player who beat Tsonga. Against Nicolas Almagro and Tommy Robres the Spanish had a slab over, but his honor and his claw was used to survive and kill their rivals. Against Djokovic was unable to shake off the weight of the incisive and effective game of Serbian. "I got everything I've tried," he said happily "Nole", which until now had never passed the third round at Bercy. It is now well positioned to achieve its sixth title of the season, the having won two straight games after last Sunday Roger Federer in the final in Basel.

Djokovic showed he is the best player to the end of this season and wishes him great joy for the Masters tournament in London, where he'll defend the title achieved a year ago in Shanghai. The Serbian hungry jumped the track and determined not to let him eat Nadal ground. The first game had trouble keeping their service. Even went to the "Hawkeye" to claim a ball that the referee had given him against, which was a 15-40 for Nadal. The technique finally gave the reason why only a few millimeters. To the chagrin of Mallorca.

Since that setback, the two players with serve until 3-2. There began the greatest bump is remembered in tennis from Nadal in years. Yielded 14 points in a row, threw overboard the set. The bleeding did not stop there. After the 3-2 first set, "Nole" added seven straight games, three of them with Nadal's serve.

The pothole not only snatched the first set from Spanish but also mortgaged the second. Nadal was unable to return to the game. Every sprint, every attempt to recover the lost service was crashing with a genius for Serbian. Even enjoyed a breaking ball and that's saying a lot for a Nadal always eager to push its rivals, to bring them to the limit, to bring the duel in the psychological field. Djokovic was a lot for a modest Nadal. The Serbian needed no more than a match point to close the match and get into its tenth year end.

Powered by a noisy audience, the French broke the serve of his opponent in the third game of the final sleeve, but passed it the next.

Until the ninth to snatch not stand again, as in the second set with his serve to close the match. This time he missed the French, who took a place in the final at the first pitch to achieve it.

With a right of cement and a stunning poise in a 'tie break' where others are melts the arm. With mental strength to recover from a side 3-0 in the last race and three failures in three-balls game only minutes later.

Only with such a display of this boy Tandil (20 years, 198 centimeters Tennis) Nadal knee drive, irregular, agonistic, more vague than usual, but always decent resistance, looking from the top with the weight of the purple . Miami is going to lose points, because in 2008 he fell into the Nikolay Davydenko at the end. And with some hesitation after their third defeat of the season, just before a rival who was unable to extract a single sleeve in the four preceding.

But Del Potro is that sooner or later had to assert the authority of his game. So far no one had won the first three manga circuit. This victory will remove that weight off.

Especially when you return to see video on the outcome and that ball who cruised the strip to fall into their field. Meant 3-2 for Nadal, a nod of fortune that has sapped the morale of everyone. At that time, Del Potro swallowed saliva, loaded arm and joined without blinking the following five points, confirming that opened after three hours of an alternative fair fight.

For now, as a first step, scaled on Monday, two posts in its ranking.

And it can improve if it is able to exploit the weight of their 'drive' and easy to service. These two factors, embedded with much merit in the key moments, he reported great joy to Nadal. After a boot full of doubt, the Argentine took the lead in first set with a break in the seventh game. Within the track, powerful, determined, cornered gradually Nadal, who was 1-2 and lost to 'break' in the second race.

No more solutions to the pride, the Mallorcan was resurrected with this facility which makes it unique. Equally bright and had a 3-0 in the last part. Everything seemed in his hand, but unexpectedly lost the thread. He saved three match balls, but it was not enough. Del Potro beat front.

The Florida had a 0-40 and saved two break balls, one after the ball touched on the tape, but did not find the way to win your service. Finally, it relented and the match ended escaping because he lost his faith.

Blake was delivered, precision and lost two other services to complete claudicando by 6-1. A final improper American, which had reached a high level throughout the match and that prevents it from fighting for the major titles.

From the beginning Blake was that player that he complicates parties to Nadal, but the Spanish he has won the last two times.
