   Points won directly behind the serve:
   27 % Djokovic – 16 of 58
   31 % Nadal – 19 of 61

   # Actually identical match comparing to their previous final they played in Beijing. “He has improved his game immensely on the hard courts this year,” said Djokovic. “He has been positioning himself really well, staying closer to the line and using his forehand around the court really well, as well as serving more efficiently, which was of course giving me and other players trouble.” Nadal got his only break trailing 1:3 in the opener. In the 2nd set a break at 1-all decided.

   Djokovic’s route to his 41st title:
   rr Roger Federer 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-2
   rr Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 3-6, 6-3
   rr Richard Gasquet 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-3
   S Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 6-3
   W Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4

   # Comparison of their two straight finals:
   Beijing ’13: Djokovic d. Nadal 6-3, 6-4… 1 hour 27 minutes… Total points: 62-44 (breaks: 2-0)
   London ’13: Djokovic d. Nadal 6-3, 6-4… 1 hour 36 minutes… Total points: 67-52 (breaks: 3-1)

   # Djokovic had clinched semifinal berth after two matches, and I’d say he played against Gasquet in an 80-90% mode
