If we wake up and look at the score of the match between Zverev and Paul, it is logical to say that ultimately the match was not that complicated for the German.
But this is absolutely not the case, and it could have worked in favor of the American who had a set point in the first set as in the second and who each time served to win the set.
But unaccustomed to this situation, Tommy lost his relaxation, making a few mistakes. Opposite Zverev, who knows this situation having broken down nervously very often during important duels, remained in his bubble focused on the idea of being as consistent as possible.
And as Patrick Mouratglou rightly says, his victory confirms that tennis is played elsewhere than in the quality of its forehand or backhand, especially when the gap between two champions is small.
-“This shows once again how tennis is above all a mental game” declares The Coach who knows what he is talking about since he has had a few players to advise since he decided to get involved in high‐level tennis?
