Terry Tibbs
Hall of Fame
I could tell from Rafas body language, demeanor and what he was saying in his post match interview on the court that he knew he wasnt gonna be git enough to play the SF and you could visibly see how hampered and limited he was on serve.
I couldn't help but think if that was the case, should he not have conceded the match as his family were trying to encourage him to do so that Fritz would have a chance to progress?
I guess the argument is that he needed to be good enough to win and wasnt and also the fact that to not be able to close out a match from 2-1 up against a player serving 95mph serves on grass is not deserving of a SF place. Thoughts?
