Nah... i was pretty much CONFIDENT of this thing..

I have been following Federer since his 1st match.. and i knew he was surviving because of his IMAGE in the mind of other players. His game has seriosly deteriorated since last Australian Open...

He didnt lose a single set last year at Australian Open..

He lost French Open to Nadal

He ALMOST LOST Wimbledon to Nadal in 5 setter where he was underdog whole match

He ALMOST LOST US Open to Djokovic with 7-6 7-6 6-4 where Djokovic choked under pressure during Tie Breakers

And I knew that he wasnt gonna win here...

I am a huge fan of Federer but i guess he really needs to examine his game .. His backhand is his weakest point.. He just has to SLICE 90% of the time with backhand and whenever he gives a top spin.. its way to slow.. His forehand is his weapon but on days like these when forehands dont work... Its impossible for him..

He isnt flexible on the court, Doesnt cover the court like Nadal does..

Besides most important factor in his losing the match was his OVERCONFIDENCE.. I have followed his each and every interview (pre match/post match/pre tournament) and he recently (since last yr) he has got this ATTITUDE that he is the best and he is UNBEATABLE. Little confidence helps, but undermining others is no good.

Also its not that others are catching up to Federer.. Federer is sliding down..

I am definitely disappointed and now i am goin to support Tsonga during finals...
