Wawrinka won the number two challenge in Prague last week. Throughout the tournament the Swiss showed a confident game and deservedly received a trophy. True, in most of his matches, the ex-third racket of the world allowed himself to relax. It is difficult to explain the lost sets of the Swiss in the duels against Roman Safiullin, Oscar Otte, Michael Vrbenski and Sumit Nagal. It is worth noting that after the game was given away, the representative of the Swiss added and in some fights destroyed his rivals. For example, he beat Safiullin with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, while Nagala beat him 2-6, 6-0, 6-2. In the final, Wawrinka decided not to play the fool and beat Aslan Karatsev in two games 7-6, 6-4.
Nate McMillan’s guys understand the whole situation perfectly, but so far they can not do anything. Whatever one may say, but the main reason for the failure is injuries and again the team fails to prove itself properly in the playoffs. At the start, Indiana lost to Miami with a score of 101-113, then another defeat followed, which hit the pride noticeably, because no matter how hard the leaders tried, the opponent still acted better. In the last meeting, the Pacers lost again points and greatly complicated the situation. Now the “pacers” can only go all-in and simply snatch the first victory in the playoffs, otherwise the championship will be over for the team.
