‘All other players on the tour would have folded’?! Good article apart from that bit Chris.
Thanks, Nick! I think it was a unique occasion and that was my honest opinion about how it unfolded. Elshorbagy looked almost ill and I admired how he was able to continue pushing even when it appeared that his body was pleading for the punishment to end. Under that amount of physical discomfort and being down 5 match balls I can only imagine how mentally strong you need to be to stay positive and continue fighting through the pain. And when’s the last time Ramy lost after having 5 match balls in a game? It was certainly looking bleak for those of us watching at home. What would you have been thinking at that point?
