“It definitely gives you strength. It doesn’t matter how you feel on the court, after a win like this, it definitely gives you confidence and self-motivation, which is very important. “This game gave me attention and I married him to survive this tournament.
“It was good at the edges, and it fell on our side, so we are happy and now we have to recover and prepare for Friday’s game.”
The one-hour, 51-minute encounter came to a thrilling climax at the Inalpi Arena. As I have already lost their first game back on 10/9, the King went into the line to serve He and Harrison Osekule sent down what he thought was an ace and started to celebrate, but it was called ake. The king then fought back the error in truth, and Arevalo and Pavic took the next two points to move to 1-1 in the John McEnroe Group.
“One agreed,” Pavic said, when asked the difference between winning and losing in Wednesday’s clash. “That’s what makes the difference in doubles these days. They won the match. Then you let the ace. In the end it went down to those same points.
“With a tie-break game, that’s what it is, and the difference is small. We’re busy somehow and we managed to fight, even if we’re not the best.”
Check out the late drama as the king denied the ace in MP:
Arevalo and the worship of pavic was the basis of their small victory. The pair won 86 percent (50/58) of the points after the first delivery, while also saving all six points they faced according to Infosys ATP Stats.
