I concur 100%.
Back to Rome, he was up 4-1 in the 5th set, blew that and was lucky to get it to a tiebreaker. He was up 6-3 in the tiebreaker and blew 3 match points.
Very unlike Federer, clearly he more than "got close" he played better tennis than Nadal and choked. Cant believe I just said Federer choked but he did. First time for everything I guess.
I love Federer to win on Sunday. He actually played pretty mediocre against Naldabian and was very fortunate things worked out the way they did. He may have not been able to beat this guy today.
He seldom ever pairs 2 mediocre matches back to back. Nadal is in serious trouble.
