  • What happened to Tabilo?

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Pelle_Svansl=C3=B6s?=@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 17 18:51:45 2024
    Won the first, lost the second set TB, and is trailing 1-4 in the
    third. Tired?

    He lead 6-1 and 2-0 in the second set
    tie-break. After that, it was all Zverev.

    I am not totally sure but it seems to me
    that Tabilo choked. He began to think:
    "I am so close to winning this" and got
    tense. His groundstrokes seemed weak
    and powerless and he had no chance in
    the end.

    Choking is NO joke and I hope he recovers from this loss. Many don't,
    including myself (at a club level tournament). All the best to Tabilo!

    This should be a learning experience for him. If he can't recover from
    this then he wasn't ever going to be much.

    Always likely Zverev wins if he pulled out 2nd set. It's called
    'experience' - Zverev has plenty, Tabilo not so much. He was just
    pushing the ball around in the tb, fear of winning.

    Yes, you always look out for that when an inexperienced player is in a
    big match.
