Foot Fault!

After choking away the lead against Alex Bogomolov Jr, Thomaz Bellucci played a game of “stating the obvious” in the following presser;

“You cannot lose such a match, leading 6-4 *4-3.”

No, you can’t. Yet you just did.

At this point I have fully come to accept that Thomaz is a mental midget, and though he is undoubtedly talented, his brain, or lack thereof will always hold him back. But it’s one thing to choke to the unbeaten Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the Madrid masters, and it’s another thing altogether to choke to the great Alex Bogomolomolov in the quarters of a lowly 250 event. Poor eff.
