White Round
The American and ATP No. 17 James Blake, failed to win a third consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, losing to the ATP-50th-placed Italy's Andreas Seppi, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (5), on Monday.
Blake had beaten the Italians in their last two meetings, but for some reason could not do this time Wimbledon. In addition, the U.S. also lost in the first round of the French Open this year, after leaving in the fourth round of Australia Open January.
However, Blake thought he was ready for Wimbledon, as he has trained hard and physical condition was fine, but maybe their confidence was the problem.
From the beginning, Blake began to make too many mistakes, which gave an advantage Seppi in the first set winning 7-5. During the second set, Blake hopes benefit from their best shot, the forehand but Seppi was able to neutralize Blake forcing change in reverse and finally the Italian won the second set, 6-4.
In the third set, Blake even had chances of returning to the game when there was a set of points with a 6-5 lead, but missed a forehand that was too long and tied the game. Blake then lost a 5-0 lead in the tiebreaker, when Italy took a 7-0 run to win the set and the match.
At the end party, the U.S. expressed its frustration with his poor performance and the disappointment of not getting further in Wimbledon.
"We still I feel I can play with anyone in the world, but only for some reason, lately, has been very inconsistent. I've been doing all the training. I've been doing all the conditioning. I am fit as I was. They just have not been so confident, I think. But I still have the capacity. It's frustrating, because it is happening in the big tournaments when I am having my not so good results, "said the former world No. 4.
Moreover, Italy's Andreas Seppi expressed satisfaction with its performance, especially because he played more aggressively than usual in Blake's serve, which was once one of its weaknesses. Seppi also said it was a little happier when he learned that his opponent would be Blake, in place of Juan Martin Del Potro, as originally planned, but changed after the bracket was changed due to the withdrawal of Nadal. According to Seppi, Del Potro has a strong serve and that it considers would have a better chance with Blake, that proved right on Monday.
Now, after this loss, James Blake, who hopes to regain his confidence and play better in the following tournaments since it is known despite his age, he can still compete in the top 10 ranked players in the ATP. Whereas, Andreas Seppi, this victory increases confidence and raises their expectations advance in the tournament.
The Italian will next face Frenchman Marc Gicquel and the match will take place June 24.
