Which mental block is the most frustrating?

Sometimes players develop mental blocks against each other. Federer has it against Nadal. Novak, after getting over his mental block against Nadal in 2011, developed it again, especially after that woeful RG semi final choke. Berdych has it against Novak and Rafa, Ferrer has it against all the big 4 and players like Almagro seem to have it against pretty much everyone

As a tennis fan, which is the most frustrating for you to watch?

Mental block? :haha:

There's no mental block. Federer and Djokovic for instance were outplayed in ever match they lost against Nadal and vice versa. Djokovic dominated against Nadal one year. Every Nadal fan could go on and on it was only due to mental block but I don't think I've ever read such a ridiculous excuse. Djokovic was simply better than Nadal in that period.

In 99% of tennis matches the better player wins. Deal with it. I honestly believe the OP never held a tennis racquet in his life.

It's called style match-up, not mental block.
