Pretty accurate description, though you seem to be focusing too much on
what Fed did wrong rather than Rafa's quality even though he must have
been dead in the legs after the semi.
In their Wimb match 2008 Rafa was just better than Fed (the 5 set
scoreline flatters Fed) and Fed lost even though Fed played a good
match. No excures there.
This time Fed probably should have won the match (was it his last
chance?). But Nadal is just damn tough and paradoxally I think that
Nadal's SF fatigue actually helped him this time. Nadal clearly hit
with more risk compared to his usual (probably trying to avoid further
fatique and reduce running) and that paid off. Huge shots with very
impressive succee rate even with Nadal standards.
Nadal surely deserved this AO no doubt. Incredible shotmaking under
pressure at SF and final. But Fed had his chances thanks to his A-game
he brought in (apart from mediocre serving and odd tactical choices).
