Fed was entirely too salty (understandably)post match. Scratch that off your list. In 2010 Djokovic 2ad simply clutch.
Nope. Fed was up 2 set to LOVE in 2011, then mysteriously blanked out and lost the next two sets. He was terrified of meeting his daddy in the finals. That's why he whiffed a 111 mph spinner to Nole's forehand on match point. The saltiness is just vanity and embarrassment.
As far as 2010 goes, the Godfather tells us:
"But I was a bit confused mentally, maybe, because we played the second session. … Maybe I just felt like I have to get out of this match as quick as I could to save energy to play Rafa the next day. I think it ended up hurting me losing the match at the end."
MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer is reluctant for now to talk about possibly playing Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final, and with good reason.

Who thinks about this stuff so much that they actually LOSE a match? In the middle of the match...a semi-final match...at the US Open?
Someone terrified, that's who.
