I created some stats about the way the top 20 players respond to losing a tight set. A lot of them have huge letdowns and lose the next set(s) comfortably. I gathered some numbers here.

Total close sets lost* - The number of sets the player has lost with a 6-7 or 5-7 score.
Following sets lost - Every close set loss is followed by another set. This is the number of times the player has lost the following set too.
Losing percentage - Following sets lost / Total close sets lost.
Career set losing percentage - Just to put the stats in perspective with the player's level of play.

*NOTE: The 'Total close sets lost' stat doesn't include sets that turned out to be the last set of a match, just those that were followed by another set. A close set loss is 6-7 or 5-7.
