Rajeev Ram, a virtual nobody, beats Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets. Grigor falling to abyss.

I gave up on Grigor when he lost that Masters match last year to Murray; up a set and a couple breaks with multiple match points! It was one of the worst chokes ever by a man! Women do it all the time; no lead is safe, but it's been happening with the guys of late! "Back in the day" if you allowed yourself to get down that much, anyone could serve it out! Not the case these days! :cover :puzzled :nono :dodgy:

Hi Fiero - why do you think it is that the current players struggle to get over the line in these matches, when the players "back in the day" were able to do it?

Hats off to Ram. He managed to put himself into the DC team conversation.
