As I predicted, World #2
Novak Djokovic beat World #1
Rafael Nadal 6-3 6-4 in the finals of the year-end championships to defend
his 2012 ATP World Tour championship. Djokovic now trails 17-22 in the head-to-head with Nadal and leads 10-9 in tour finals and is currently on a 22-match winning streak. Nadal had the better year of the two, ending with
an overall 76-7 record (compared to Djokovic's 72-9) including 2 major championships and 5(!) ATP Masters titles in
Indian Wells,
Rome, Madrid, Cincinnati and
Montreal. Djokovic won one major, reached the finals of two others and won 3 Masters series shields (
Monte Carlo,
Shanghai and
Paris). The 9th Masters shield
was won by
Andy Murray (over
David Ferrer, who ended the year at #3).
Djokovic will play for Serbia against defending champions Czech Republic this weekend to attempt to win back the Davis Cup.
