Even if he had won, he'd still only be 2 ahead of Nadal at the moment. Not sure it "destroyed" Fed's legacy. It was a tough loss for sure, but let's not forget who he was up against.

Blew Nadal right off the court in that AO 2019 final, which was pretty ugly. Pushers don't blow people off the court.

It wasn't the first time. Federer served for the match at 2010 USO v Djok but couldn't do it. I think he takes Djokovic matches too personally and gets too emotional which makes him prone to make silly errors. I don't understand why he hates Djok so much. Just give more respect and stay calm in the key moments so you can win the matches you should win, Rogi.

I guess that reaction sums up the entirety of the match, no?

With this Kohlschriber improved his H2H against Federer from 0-14 to 1-14.

Kolhschriber just stated a fact,
The context of this interview pertained it to Federer.

No, it's not bad, Fed compensates for his light mental weakness with his other abilities, so it's fine. Yes, he can crack a bit, but in contrast he makes so many finals to compensate for that. 8/11 is still better in finals as 3/4 which is Wawrinka.
And Fed owns Wawrinka and Kohly with skills anyway, so their mental toughenss doesn't help them, so it's not so relevant. Remember Fed only looks a bit weaker compared to Rafa and Djokovic, on his own Fed has world class mentality, just maybe 5% less than Djokovic.

No, he just stated an opinion. Calling something "bad" is opinion not a fact. It's about context. I can argue that Fed didn't lose them, that Djokovic took it away from him. This myth that just because Fed has a good serve that it's all on his racket needs to stop. Returners and defenders have control over the match too.
There are no pushers at elite level, people mean counter puncher and Djokovic is not even that, Murray is counter puncher, Djokovic is agressive baseliner, Federer labeled him that way, I think we can trust Fed on this one. Also Fed used slice a lot, I would call that being passive and Fed also defends a lot too, he is also not a clear agressor, he is all courter.

I get your point..
But do you think "having MPs and not converting is bad "as an opinion or as a fact

Reminder: Djoker was down match points versus Fed at U.S. Open 2011, 2012, Wimbledon 2019. Won them all.
Fed needs to close those out.
