In the US Open 2011, Nadal was a sure contender for his 11th grand slam title. Rafael Nadal was the defending champion but, on that day Djokovic played to his class to lift his first US Open title. The confidence was clearly visible in Djokovic's approach to the game which transformed him from a top player to a great one. In tennis, one can never be sure of the winner unless the match is over. Such intensity and great enjoyment have made the sport of tennis popular all across the globe.
