Once again Nadal enters the finals and couldn't win the title Sad

Too sad because he had played very well throughout the tournament , he dominated each and everyone but Querry was just too tuff today . Hope he continues his good form and wins the next title ( Maybe French open ).

Hard court isnt Nadal's strong suit but still he managed a good result out of it. People were probably expecting Nadal vs Djokovic finals and Nadal made it there. Sam Querrey was in sublime form and these fast courts suite him very well. I was expecting the game to at least go to the 3rd set but even that didnt happen. Querrey too good in the tie breaker and deservedly won the title.

Good point. We all know that Nadal's specialty is not grass but clay. Hands off for Sam Querrey he is the zone right now and pretty much threw his name in the mix as well. Its still early but we may see his name in other Finals within this year. As for Nadal, I just hope he can continue with this kind of tennis he has showing us throughout the years so that he can win another title.

It was a hard court tournament, Not grass. Querrey has been around defeating top 10 players once in a while but he's very unpredictable.

Djokovic is struggling with his form for the past one year and injuries was worrying Nadal in the later part of his career and i thought he could win this tournament and i know hard court is not his strong hold but i hope he will be the old Nadal when it comes to clay and i thought the match could extend to a third set but Querry won with two sets .

Djokovic isnt struggling really, its just that the opponent raise their level whenever they play him. Nobody expected Istomin to play as well as he did. Istomin really played his socks off and because of that he got injured in the next round. And in Mexico open, Kyrgios had a great serving session as he hit about 15 aces in the first set while missing only 1 first serve throughout the set. I dont think I have ever seen a player serve that well. Not even Roddick or Isner have done so well with the first serve%.
