I guess he is just doing damage control for his client, Same as team Nole would do. It is clear to see both players are shadows of themselves and i guess their opponents can only beat what is infront of them. Maybe because both are so good and expected to win everything, it becomes a case of them beating themselves rather than someone winning it. So i guess the excuse are a way to mask disapointment.
