I love when Fed's goes into beast mode like this, but each time he just runs out of momentum and loses like 5 straight points :(

The break point conversion thing is unreal. Was he always bad at that or is it a recent development in the past few years? 4/23 for gently caress's sake, that's woeful.

Fed has always had bad break conversion rates. It's a running gag.

Even peak Fed in 2005-07? I wasn't watching tennis back then. I only started recognizing the trend the past few years but I guess if it was back then as well it's just part of who he is as a player. Too bad. :(

It wasn't this bad. Plus, when he was at his best, he hardly ever got broken himself. So he really only needed 3-4 break points to win a match.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring.

Oh my god. It even has a watermark.
we could use real stats to figure this out http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/players/roger-federer/f324/player-stats?year=0&surfaceType=all but nah let's reminisce instead

He's within 4% of Nadal and Djokovic over his whole career with 41% of break points converted overall. Tonight he was 4/23 which comes out to a little over 17%. So he played way worse than normal tonight and isn't actually that much worse than his main rivals.

Novak is ice colddd.

Federer did everything he could but then he just unraveled because Djokovic does not loving miss.
