they don't think they can come back (look at what Thiem did today just by hanging around). You usually don't see stuff like this (or at least so much of it) in other sports. Tennis players are wired differently, and the psychology of the sport often leaves me dumbfounded.
It has a whole lot to do with tennis being an individual sport.

Robredo-Kyrgios is tough to call. I like the experience of Robredo probably to come through, but if Kyrgios is lights out on-serve then it;s pretty much what we saw with Isner-Kohlschreiber ... who plays the big points better? I'm just going to enjoy watching as I think all the lines invovled in that one are pretty tough to make a strong case one way or the other.
