Who would prevail in an Australian Open final between ? The 18-time Major winner answered this question, beyond praising the Serbs comeback.
I think Djokovic would have to be favored obviously to win the Australian Open, admitted Evert. They both, I believe, have won it six times. Djokovic has found his mojo. He is in the groove right now. I think hes brimming with confidence.
Hes found his A game. Hes back to where he belongs, No. 1 player in the world. In saying that, I was very impressed with Roger Federer, the way he played at Hopman Cup. The thing is, the only drawback with Roger I think is I think Novak can still play a few more longer matches and still be in peak form if he does reach the final.
The thing that I worry about with Roger is, again, as you get a little older, I know hes fit, but just to play a few five-set matches in a row, I wonder how he would fare if he played the final. The courts are faster, the points are quicker, hes going to have a much better chance because he wont be on the court as long.
But I think they both are in peak form right now, both of them. I think Nadal is injured. We dont know how hes going to play. We dont know about his health. But I think those two, it would be a terrific final.
