Comes forward, shaking off the fatigue, goes more on the offensive, reaps the rewards.

Think there was probably mental fatigue as well as some understandable physical fatigue. He said he felt he was rushing too much and making early errors ( when the stats apparently showed him winning more of the relatively longer rallies but Novak well on top in short "rallies" ) and he didn't really know why. He wasn't sure that he was too tired ( I assume meanibg physically tired ), but said he wasn't making some of these bad decisions earlier in the week when he had been pretty shatered from Valebcia.

I think a few days rest ( says he'll take a couple off anyway :) ) and get ready for the WTF. A bit fresher and he could do pretty well. Due a really good O2.

His record now vs Djokovic from 23 matches ( now his most against any player ) is won 8, lost 15. Though 2 - 2 in Slam finals.
