I agree that Nadal's probably not on top of his game but I don't think it's by much and I also think the reason for him not being at the top of his game is because Djokovic started beating him easily and it caused a dip in his confidence in general.

Confidence is so important and is probably the main difference between Djoko last year and this year. It's not like Djoko all of a sudden has added different elements to his game, he just believes, no he KNOWS that he can win. And completely agree that Nadal is close to the top of his game, he played really well in the final, Djoko was just better but that was some sensational tennis.
Who knows, maybe we will see Murray do something similar. I know, I know, LOL Murray but you never know. He is such a huge talent, he just loses all the time when it matters the most and it's like he knows it will happen before it does. I'm not saying this will ever change but still, if he ever does win a GS watch out.
