http://bit.ly/aHnBzk Novak Djokovic and James Blake clash in the third round of the 2010 US Open. After a tough first round match, Djokovic cruised in the second round and looked good. Blake, who hasn't done much in the past few months, will have to play aggressively and keep points short if he wants to get past the Serb. In terms of tactics, Blake needs to serve well. That doesn't mean he should go for outright aces. Rather, he needs to get a lot of first serves in and be in control of most points from the first ball. Djokovic is stronger off the ground -- particularly the backhand wing -- so Blake can't afford too many neutral rallies. When the American does get into baseline exchanges with Djokovic, he needs to take chances early in the point. The longer the rally goes, the more that favors Djokovic. Look for Novak to win this match in four sets and advance to the fourth round of the US Open.
