Stop exaggerating it, it was a tough match, and tie-breaks can always go both ways. Dodig just held it together on the bigger points. Rafa was clearly trying to be aggressive, it paid off great in the first set, but in the last two he couldn't sustain enough. It's a loss, but at least he'd being more aggressive, a step in the right direction. He was literally blowing the ball off the court in the first set, but then it became a bit of a shank fest. Now you know Rafa knows how it's like for Fed, being consistently aggressive is one of the toughest things to do in tennis.
This is coming from a Fed-fan, but I still praise Rafa's performance because he gave it his all, and you have to admire that. It's completely unrealistic to simply brush a player off. It's not like he got double bageled.
