it means that after winning the 1st set so well alan was probably quite chuffed with himself - the happy camper, whilst waske would have been very upset at losing the set and a bit angry so trying really hard - the wounded bear.


wounded bears can do nasty things to campers

As long as he keeps his concentration on his serve.

Mackin has been the better so far, I agree though Waske played the big points better in the 2nd set. I pick him in this 3rd set, I think he'll tough it out.

Waske has a massive reputation on MTF as a choker.


I hope that gives Mackin the edge!

LOL

That happens so often in ATP matches, particularly after a player has won a very close 1st set, often they lose concentration in their opening service game of the next set and the momentum completely switches

Have they got evidence of that or are the posters just calling their fav player a choker because they're annoyed that he's losing ?

Mackin held for 2-1
