I want to share with u my SF match against Ivo, because it was an epic match, i lost but i deserved to lose, after so much wasted opportunities and 2 MP. The first set was easy for me, Ivo was really out, not playing well and i was confident (6-1). Then in the second he raised his level and i was not ready(2-6).
Then comes the third, i was dominating on serve and i break him soon. Then i hold easy till 5-4. For me, this is the most important part of the match, because after this i started to play very bad, and i was really nervous. To close the set i was so nervous that Ivo break back, i hit just few perfects and a lot of regular and bad shots. Then i was able to holod after, even shotting bad shots. So we went to a tiebreak, in which i was totally off and Ivo was very brave (6-7).
In the fourth i was up to close the set again, 5-3, and i choked AGAIN. But then i was able to break back and win 7-5.
And then comes the last set, In which i was 1 break up 4-2, but Ivo was able to break back and break again and serve for the match. I was so ****, but i was able to break him again to 5-5 and hold to 6-5. Ivo serving for 6-6. I had two match points on return, but he played very well and i was too predictable, included one "bad" return. And in the tiebreak, Ivo won easily, i was completly out of the match, mentally off. (6-7)
This completly fits my usual choke in important moments, so im happy. It was an epic match anyway. Congratulations to the best player of Ts4 for me ,really fair play and a wondeful person.
