Tonight Rafael Nadal(#2) takes on Novak Djokovic(#1) in the US open final. This is a tough one to pick but when reviewing the stats the winner should be obvious.
Whilst Nadal leads Djokovic in the head to head by winning 16 out of the 28 times these two have played, this doesn't reflect recent form. Djokovic has only lost 2 matches all year and has beaten Nadal 4/4 times they have met in 2011.
The last time these two played against each other on hardcourt was at the ATP masters 1000 in Florida early this year and Djokovic won in straight sets. However the last time these two came up against each other was Djokovic's 3-1 win at wimbledon(grass) only a short time ago.
Im sure Nadal has identified what he needs to do to win after losing at Wimbledon, but whether he is good enough is questionable.
Take Djokovic @ 1.68
If you cant bring yourself to try and choose between #1 and #2,
Back the New England Patriots over the Miami Dolphins on the line (-7) 7am tomorrow morning.
The Pats are favourites to win the superbowl whilst Miami are about 20th. The Patriots have a line up that are a cut above Miami's and they should be able to seal this one by more than one touchdown.
