Yes, I think it is fair to say that Federer has choked in numerous Grand Slam finals, but I think it could also be said that he should be applauded for making his opponent work so hard to defeat him.

Stupid Fed and his stupid serve giving me stupid hope every stupid time.

 

[jm1980]

Fed's serve prevents him from being blown out even if the rest of his game is failing him

Such a gap even with the worst by far (RG’08) tally of four games.

Injustiderer!

Federer's average must be boosted considerably by the 2014 Wimbledon final alone. He won at least 8 more games in that match than he should've done!

How can you say this proves he chokes? Personally it looks to me like Federer is least likely to be dominated and battles it out more than any other champion.

BTW win v. lost percentage has Djoker the biggest choker out of the Big 3, so there's that....
