Hmmm, funny how two weeks in a row people are saying Fed threw it away against Canas. Maybe it's simply a case of Canas playing well enough to frustrate him. It's not coincidence that fed "threw it away" two weeks in a row against the same player! Time to give Canas some credit.

oh no, credit tp canas, he played very well, he knew his job and did it. bit of gamesmanship maybe as he was constantly acting like he wasknackered but wasn't.

but i think maybe the condition didnt suit fed, couldnt gom for the lines as much etc. but canas ran everyhtign down. its just for me fed made some uncharcerticistic misses - how mnay overheads did he miss?

Bit unfair again to say it was gamesmanship from canas. Maybe he was knackered but just pulled through on adrenaline. How many times could you say the same about our own Andy Murray. Constantly looks knackered from the word go. You could definitely attribute similar comments about Andy in the Haas match. Looked like he could barely walk then chased down winners once the point was going, only I wouldn't say that because it's unfair. Same as it's unfair to say that about Canas.

Sometimes players feel sore or tired between points but once the adrenaline is running and a point is underway the pain goes away somewhat. Especially when you're close to beating the world number 1!

true, but i also recognise andy is a bit of a drama queen anyway, i think he has got better recently tho.

theres nothing particly wrong with it, unless it taken to extremes like stephnak and to some respects nadal's delaying. Fed should have been ready for it.

Sport is in part a mental battle and gamesmanship is part of that battle. I am sure that Federer was not affected by it.
