    I guarantee even all the best of them Djoker/Murray/Fed/Ferrer has suffered epic WTA-like meltdowns some point in their career. I've seen it happen to all these guys especially early in their careers. It's how they respond that makes them champions.

    Conspiracy theorist in me believes he wanted it to go to a tie-break.

    I think you're absolutely right, but I haven't actually seen anything quite like that from those four. That doesn't change my opinion on the match at all though.

    Quite the contrary in fact. Not for the sake of "being due" in the slightest. It has to do instead with the mental and physical toll of a lot of wins (in addition to a lot of matches). This of course entirely excludes the factor of the odds which will be increasingly juicy (pun intended) the longer the streak lasts.

    Rules are meant to be broken, but it's a generally bad freaking idea to try to time the end of a streak. Just lay off it, 9 times out of 10, if it gets too juicy for you, is the right move imo.

    Consistently fading it is certainly a bad idea, but carefully picking your spot is a fantastic one. I'm by no stretch of the imagination implying Monfils was a good such spot by the way...

    This is true.

    If the point is fading someone simply because they're on a streak I'd be inclined to think that's a stupid FKing idea, I might add.

    In the case of this match I'd also agree with MDF. I did not put much faith in Pirate trailing *5-6 after dropping six straight games from the *5-0 lead. Mark of a champion indeed! Especially the way he started cramping and additionally upped his game another notch (from the height of the match speaking) to dominate the tiebreak considering the situation he was in and what had just happened.

    Robredo dished up some rubbish in that second set

    Another game completely turned

This guy has developed into a quite special player on clay.
    Of course he would serve up this effort after wrapping him like that
