Nadal admits mental block against Djokovic

Rafael Nadal has admitted that his Wimbledon final defeat against Novak Djokovic was forged not just on the grass of the All England Club but also on the hard courts of Indian Wells and Miami and the clay of Madrid and Rome.

Yesterday's 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-3 loss was Nadal's fifth of the year to the Serb, who this morning takes his rightful place as world number one.
