Yeeeeeeah... yeesh. You can just see the form crumbling starting with the serve, which takes its toll on the rhythm of the whole game. Then a few errors start creeping into the rallies, and all of a sudden he's no longer in God mode and the opponent isn't on the back foot anymore and has brought his game up.
He's still playing okay, he's hitting some fantastic backhands. Just not near the level of the first set. It's all consistency.
