He seems to have gotten a bit better in the last couple of years, with a couple of good wins in Davis Cup. But, he loses the overwhelming majority of five set matches, he often loses in tournament semis or finals--even when he's favored, and he seems to lose most of the time when the match is tight at the end.
Today, he lost yet another final in a match he should have won. He won the second set 6-1!! Then, in the important third set, his level drops again.
I like Blake but he's just never been that good under most (not all) pressure situations.
