vouch 100%.
just had to wait for him to shore up the few areas of his game that were exploitable, get that serve back, and fix his conditioning.
apparently fixing all of that and adding the confidence (which i think started with those 2 forehands last year against federer, and pinnacled by the davis cup victory) leads to an amazing year like this.
Honestly I almost think his turn around match was that USO match last year against Troicki. He was really handing the match away, and it was looking like another Djokovic choke due to conditioning and mental confidence issues. But something changed in him that day, he pressed on and ended up turning the tide and winning the match and basically cruising to the finals until that close win against Fed, and then the finals loss to Rafa. From that point on he was solid. I can't remember when he finally worked out his service issues, but that was one big thing holding him back mentally as well I think.
