Djokovic beats Nadal, now 37-0 in 2011 (AP)

Spain's Fernando Verdasco returns the ball to Canada's Milos Raonic during the Italian Open tennis tournament, in Rome, Sunday, May 8, 2011.

Novak Djokovic is starting to realize what an impact he’s making on tennis with his recent domination of Rafael Nadal — and everyone else in the game, too. Djokovic beat the top-ranked Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in the Italian Open final Sunday to stretch his unbeaten start this year to 37 matches. Djokovic trails only John McEnroe’s 42-0 start in 1984.
