Rome Masters 2008 results

The Rome Masters 2008 produced an unexpected result this weekend, when Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic added the Rome Masters title to his rapidly growing collection of championship wins.

Djokovic met up with unseeded Stanislas Wawrinka in a Rome Masters 2008 final pairing that few tennis pundits would have predicted. The Serbian player’s experience paid off in the tournament decider as Wawrinka was unable to acclimatise to the heady heights of a championship final, winning the first set before losing 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

“I was aiming for Rome and Roland Garros as my two priorities on clay courts this season,” Djokovic said following his 10th career tournament victory. “Now I have more confidence approaching big events on clay, and other surfaces as well.”

Novak Djokovic’s win at the Rome Masters 2008 was his second Masters win in four Masters events this year, and will boost the confidence of the ATP Race leader going into the 2008 French Open.

“I was aiming for Rome and Roland Garros as my two priorities on clay courts this season,” Djokovic told the Associated Press. “Now I have more confidence approaching big events on clay, and other surfaces as well.”
