Djokovic to vie against Nadal for Queen's Club title

2008-06-16来源:
LONDON, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Novak Djokovic of Serbia will take on Rafael Nadal of Spain in the final of the Queen's Club tennis tournament, hoping for revenge on Sunday.

Djokovic hobbled off court, suffering from a blister on his toe in their only previous meeting on grass, 11 months ago in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

"I look forward to it. Last year at Wimbledon I was unfortunate to finish that way due to injury. But this time I feel much more comfortable on this surface, more experienced," said the Serbian after his 6-1, 6-0 over David Nalbandian.

"I've gained a lot of confidence, matured. Physically, I'm much better. So it can be a very interesting match."

However, Nadal, runner-up to Roger Federer at the All England Club for the past two years, is on a 16-match winning streak, including his fourth successive French Open crown last Sunday.

Nadal did not drop a set in seven matches in Paris and Djokovic was among his victims.

Hoping to become the first Spaniard to win a title on grass since Andres Gimeno in 1972, Nadal is unlikely to let down his guard on Sunday.

"This week is amazing for me. I am just very happy how I'm playing on grass," said Nadal, who beat Andy Roddick 7-5, 6-4.

"I'm surprised how well I have adapted to the surface this week. I've only lost the serve once during the tournament and I'm gonna try my best to win tomorrow."
