I did not get to watch the match but 36 unforced errors are too many. so basically roger has to fix the inconsistency issue.
he has got to learn to become more patient. he has all the shots. he just has to be able to dig in and stay in the rally.
"stay in the rally" should be his war cry going forward. you have engage them in a rally and then you pull the trigger at exactly the right moment.
you CRAFT points and you can win.

I only watched the second set today. Fed was very inconsistent, good winners followed by UEs. Monfils was leading in the tiebreak 5:4 and missed an easy forehand, he could have won in 2 sets.
On the other hand, Rafa played his best match in my opinion since the US Open. The only thing that's alarming was that he missed a lot of break points in the second set. Berlocq choked in the tiebreak by donating 2 double faults.
