When will Nadal beat Djokovic again?

[Backhand_DTL]

Apart from the depth of shot I agree regarding the things he improved. But I think his return and ground game, especially the backhand down the line, were considerably better in 2011.

Having recently watched 4/5 of his matches from 2011, I will disagree. His depth of shot has been better this year. He has not used the backhand down the line this year as much as 2011, but when he does, it's often either setting him up for the kill shot or the winner itself. I just wish he'd use it a lot more.

All that said, even at his present levels when do you see Nads beating him?

Definitely not this year anymore and if Novak keeps up his present level also rather not at the Australian Open or the slow Hard Court Masters, as the match-up usually favors Novak on anything but high bouncing clay. But the clay season should be interesting if Nadal continues to improve until then. So a win against Novak in Monte Carlo for example wouldn't surprise me too much. But if they meet multiple times on clay next year and Nadal doesn't get a win, it's hard to see him beat Novak in a big match again.

In one word, Novak definitely was better in 2011 than 2015. And Nadal will beat him when he find his own level and probably soon

I see absolutely nothing to indicate Nadal will beat Djokovic soon but it's good to be positive

If he can get past Anderson and Wawrinka, Nads will have a shot at him in the semis.

That's if Novak is able to make it to the semis too.

Rafa is just too stubborn to even consider adding a non Spaniard or anyone to his campaign. So many out there to choose from. At this point,at least consult Agassi about how to attack the return of service.

That's easy. Just a big dose of crystal meth before, during and after the match

Yeah, I wouldn't let Agassi anywhere near a modern tennis player. :nono

And a cheesy toupee to hide the bald spots.
