As I mentioned in the thread yesterday, Tennis is a game of inches and ultimately you need those to go in your favour if you are going to put a winner on the board. Marton Fucsovics won the match, but he didn't cover and the key moment may have been at 4-2 in the first set.
The Hungarian was at 0-40 on the Vasek Pospisil serve, but failed to convert any of SIX break points in that game and the disappointment seeped into the next service game as he dropped the set 6-2 before turning things around with a 7-5, 6-4 scoreline to win the match in three sets.
A slight bounce of the ball going his way may have seen the turnaround begin much earlier, but at worst he would have had a much better opportunity to cover rather than dropping a set by a couple of breaks of serve.
It is what it is, but one of those factors you simply cannot predict as you look for your selections to make sure they play as clean a match as possible... Or at least avoid the big set scoreline being dropped which has been a really unfortunate habit for those I have picked despite many of them coming back and winning the match as Marton Fucsovics did on Monday.
The Tennis Picks from Tuesday focus on the deep amount of matches that are set to be played in Dubai with the large majority of the Second Round matches scheduled to be completed over the course of the day.
I've had a slightly busier evening than envisioned, but my selections can be seen below as I look for a strong return to get this week into a positive position.
