The shocks are reverberating so loudly I could hardly hear my own thoughts. Paris is in an uproar!

This was the unforeseeable prediction; this was the unplayable motif.

As I write this, Roger Federer just took Novak Djokovic 6-3 in the second set after taking the first set in a nail-biting tiebreaker. In the process, Roger Federer is making me look quite the fool.

The first set started off as a see-saw battle with Roger breaking Novak the very first game. Djokovic promptly returned the favor with a break back. They exchanged a couple of more breaks before heading into the set tiebraker.

Both players missed shots in the first set. The wind seemed to be affecting both players maybe a little bit. But it was the old ousted King who handled the rough swirling seas of red dust better than the young usurper.

Soon enough Djokovic looked just the slightest distracted by circumstance; something that we haven’t seen yet this year. He was slip and sliding at times too on the wind-beaten surface. He seemed off put by that too. It was an unusual display of mental ‘shakiness’- again not seen in Djokovic yet this year.

Novak just broke Roger in the third and is serving to take a 3-0 lead in the set. But even if he does take this set, can the Maestro pull off this upset? Can he stop the streak and give us something we haven’t seen in a while—a Fedal final? Can Roger resist his own fate for just one more year?

***I will keep the readers posted as the bigger developments occur in this epic match.***

Update No. 1: Novak Djokovic just took the third set 6-3.  Roger played a solid set overall but that one break earlier in the set was enough for Djokovic to consolidate and hold on to take the set.  Novak is picking up his form and attitude, dangerous tidings for Roger.... Will Roger finish him off before Novak storms back into this match?
