Davidovich and the ghost of match points

The defeat of Alejandro Davidovich against Learner Tien in Indian Wells further deepened a striking and worrying fact for the Spanish player. The Malaga native now has 13 losses on the ATP circuit after having had a match point in his favor. The latest one came precisely this Tuesday at Indian Wells, where Davidovich had two match points against Tien that he failed to convert. The American survived those crucial moments and ended up winning in the third set tie-break. A statistic that reflects one of the key aspects for improvement in the tennis of the Spaniard: his handling of crucial moments.
