The last three weeks have been really frustrating, but I don't think any of the previous days have been as irritating as the last one.
I've lost count of the number of tie-breakers that have inched the other way this week, and those really hurt on Thursday.
Karen Khachanov won more points during the first set against Andrey Rublev, but lost a tie-breaker and was not able to take advantage of an early break in the second set.
Let's be honest- if Novak Djokovic plays that match with Lorenzo Musetti later this month, I think he wins well. He had Set Points at 5-2 and 5-3 in the first set and, even though he eventually won that set, Novak Djokovic was not able to regain the dominance he had in the match at that point and lost in a tight three setter.
But the worst of the misfortunes was saved for the last match of the day.
Alexander Zverev served for the match in the second and in the third set and also had a Match Point on serve in the final set tie-breaker.
I'd have been disappointed to have gone 2-1, but to have a 0-3 day is a bitter blow.
So it makes Friday pretty important- after the early positives for this season, I am having a look at what is going wrong at the moment. My feeling is that the majority of selections have fallen down due to bad luck rather than a bad look, but I am keeping a tight leash on the Tennis Picks and Friday's Quarter Final action will be important to get back to winning ways in what is likely going to be a tournament ending in a negative number.
