As in recent matches played by the Toledan, he had many opportunities to defeat his opponent, but it seems that it is costing a lot to close the matches.

The toledan successfully recovered, winnig the fourth set and being up with a break in the fifth. He could not take advantage of this situation and finally lost the match

It couldn´t be our Feli and he lost against Safin in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon a 3-6 7-5 7-6 (1) and 6-3. The match was being clearly dominated by the spaniard until the interruption by rain. At that moment something changed in the march. Although Feli noted the first set clearly. Since the middle of the second set, the toledan began again to cause problems for the Russian every time he served, being 5-5 and 0-30 to break the Russian. It had the Russian his mercy at that point, but found a clear shot and lost the game. Feli lost his concentration gave their service. The third set was also dominated by Feli, who had many options every time the Russian served. Feli couldn´t take advantage og the situation because he was not agressive when he needed it. Lopez last the tie-break and finally the match. It was really sad, because if Feli had maintained the level would have done much harm to Safin.
