Do you think a player like David Ferrer often gets a pass for some of his losses/shortcomings?

of ferrer's achievements:

career high ranking of #4,
18 career singles titles/ 33 finals contested,
sf of ao, uso, fo, qf of wimbledon,
tour finals runner-up (07),
14 wins vs current top 4 in rankings,
top 15 time in career tour earnings. $

respect ferrer hard work, determination , attitude.
said however, think gets bit of pass players near him in rankings don't receive. it's because of things mentioned. people more nice guy portrays hard working- underdog when on court.

think lets when plays federer, , loses, people put off him being short or not having enough weapons. thing i'm sure find few players similar skill set of ferrer's , in many of cases have less talent him.

said, have respect ferrer. don't see why quick feel bad when loses federer or has not been able advance next level in past. fact on multiple occasions, vs murray, ferrer has had excellent chances reach slam final. hasn't performed highest level on biggest of stages.
