Tennis match victories can be as small as a two-point difference in the total points between players in a match. The top seed 45 Men’s and 11th Seed Carl Clark were the main draw for the crowd attending the ITF Tournament in West Palm Garden, FL. on Wednesday morning. The tennis battle went on for over two hours and the deuce decisions ultimately did not go Clark’s way. But, we wonder who was the actual victor. Since Wednesday morning, Clark and his doubles partner, Mario Tabares, have won twice (that same afternoon and again yesterday). For the Top Seed player, he did not muster a victory again after his colossal match with Clark the day before.
What may be the difference? Lots of reasons – but mainly the athlete’s mental focus, drive and knowing the importance of hydration, good food combinations and sleep to allow the body to repair and regenerate energy before the next match.
Team Clark and Tabares competed in the Round of 16 in the Men’s 45 Doubles morning and won! Go Carl and Mario!
