Novak Djokovic Is So Good That He Already Won Tomorrow’s Match

Novak Djokovic Is So Good That He Already Won Tomorrow's MatchTake note, aspiring tennisfolk, because this is the kind of thing that happens for you if you're on a 41-match win streak in 2011.

Djokovic's opponent, Fabio Fognini dropped out of their match tomorrow due to leg pain. Novak's in the semis now.

You might think a win's a win, but in this case it's not: Now Djokovic, who could have equaled Guillermo Vilas's 46-match win streak in the French final, will have to win the French and his first match immediately afterward. That's a tall order, but he's a tall dude, if that's your thing.
