The analysts in order to demonstrate their thought gave five hundred points to every player in his mental toughness. Andy Murray pushes the players to consume more points at a stage when the score even seems tight. Therefore, if the Brit player has lost the first set even then there is every possibility that he will exhaust his opponent in the second set in terms of mental strength.
This has been exactly the case with Tsonga yesterday at the All England Club and this is the reason why watching Murray playing on the tennis court is such a delight beyond any measure of speculations!
