Federer has no mental toughness when it comes to Nadal and Murray. He just can't keep a high level over several sets to beat them. He doesn't have real confidence in hitting winners anymore either.
It's painful for me to watch him like this. From 2004-2008 he was just unstoppable, and I always felt like no matter what jam he managed to get himself into during a match, he WOULD get out of it, because he's Roger Federer, the greatest of all time. Now, I just don't sense that 'aura of invicibility' that surrounded him for so many years. I could really feel the match slipping away from him in a big way during the 3rd set and I knew he was going to lose after a few games. It makes me want to throw up to watch him play like this.

That´s true
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.
