Yes, it's about the strategy and game plan. Nothing to do with confidence or not. Goes for any opponent.With Rafa, he would want to be a game up to put mental pressure. Entirely different game plan.
Montecarlo 2008 and Madrid 2009 comes to my mind.Would Federer have the confidence to do this against Bull?
Except Montecarlo 2008, in all those matches, Federer served first.What did Fed do in his prime? Vs Bull in 06, 07, 08?

I don't really know, but resorting to memories of Fedal 2006-09, it always was Federer choosing to serve or Nadal choosing to receive. The examples of Montecarlo 2008 and Madrid 2009 must be that Federer, in order to change things and "play the Nadal mindgames", he resorted to choosing to receive.What were the calls in each?
No because Nadal rarely gets tight in Slam finals. If he beat Nadal several times before a Slam he could maybe give a try but other than that no.Would Federer have the confidence to do this against Bull?
