he only converted one of THIRTEEN break points. especially against rafa, federer seems unable to close out games and sets against rafa.
he had three or four break chances to even the set in the first set; later in the second, he was up 4-1 and he goes on to lose the set. the remaining sets featured more break chances that federer could not convert. this happened all throughout this year's clay court finals against nadal where he has a chance to win the set or game but doesn't. nadal has gotten into federer's head and despite what fed has said that nadal has only made him tougher, the opposite seems to be true that the only thing learned from losing is learning to lose. federer seems to be playing worse against rafa and even worse when he's in a position to win, which strongly implies that federer does not believe he can win against nadal and so chokes away those opportunities. its alarming that this failure of nerve is now not only limited to clay but fed's strongest surface - grass.
the final challenge is the us open where if nadal can make it to the final, it is a sure win for him against fed.
