Actually he didn't do anything special in that USO final, Novak lost it himself with too many uncharacteristic UEs cuz he was really feeling the pressure. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was lucky that there was so much on line for Novak in that match.
Novak was plain bad in that final but saying Med didn't do anything special is pure BS.
He was in his peak form in that period&tournament, serving like a monster and not missing off the ground at all.

Anyway, this season has turned quite catastrophic for him so far and the fact he hasn't won any titles in 28 months is pretty crazy. I think he can still improve slightly and comes back to around #8-#12 range but I very much doubt he can make slam SF and/or top 5 ranking again.
