Novak Djokovic of Serbia is my pick to finish the year as the number three player of the year. Andy Roddick may have that spot right now but this 19 year old with a terrific all-court game and a big heart is breathing down Andy's neck at number five. On Sunday, Djokovic captured his third ATP title of the year at the Estoril Open, defeating Richard Gasquet of France 7-6(7), 0-6, 6-1.
It was the fifth tournament win of his young career and Djokovic now leads the ATP circuit with a 31-6 match record this year. His other 2007 titles came in Adelaide and ATP Masters Series Miami. Djokovic was also runner-up at ATP Masters Series Indian Wells where he lost to Nadal who he beat a few weeks later in Miami.
Said Djokovic: “I’m really happy to win another title in a very close match. I hope the crowd enjoyed it because there was a really nice atmosphere.”
