Disagree. No semi is bigger than a slam win. I think he will be hungry for this match as well. A lot of people said he would choke yesterday too and that did not happen.burning this has nothing to do with physical fitness but mental fatigue which is a far greater factor in mens tennis. i think you can easily say that djokers win yesterday was the biggest in his career, bigger than the AO tournament win.
Look at all those ugly matches Djoker won this year when he was playing like shit. You do not become a master of winning ugly without mental strength.
You can guess that he will be mentally fatigued this time but the last time he beat Fed in a semifinal at a hardcourt slam he suffered no such mental fatigue and went on to win the whole thing the next round.
He should be hungry as hell for another slam... I think he got jaded this year because he was doing so well but the stakes were not high enough... but now they are. His hunger for a slam along with the confidence he simply has to have against Nadal on this surface should outweigh any "mental fatigue", and there is historical evidence to show that beating Fed in slam semifinals charges him up while you are just basically guessing that history does not repeat itself here with no evidence to back that opinion up.
