Federer Shows Wariness Of Djokovic
Wednesday 29 August 2007 at 13:50
 If Roger Federer can be beaten at the US Open, Novak Djokovic is the man to do it.
The Serbian will be a shrewd bet if he can find the momentous form that saw him crush his awesome rival straight after slaying Andy Roddick and Rafael Nadal in Montreal three weeks ago.
The world's newest up-and-comer enjoyed a convincing win in his opening match against Robin Haase at the Open yesterday in front of a substantial crowd, about which he said: "I had great support from my countrymen and from Americans, which is very important for the next matches."
Revealingly, Federer is taking the young man seriously. After his defeat in Montreal he said: "If he keeps this up he's going to create some chances also at the Grand Slams because he's been to two semifinals already."
Meanwhile, Djokovic has said he isn't putting himself under any pressure just yet, but wants to be the world's premier by the end of the year.
That looseness could translate into another formidable performance at Flushing Meadows, so bet now before he attracts more trade.
