I mean, if the guy has the top record at the event of anyone on tour how can you say him losing round one isnt a surprise?
I think you're stretching my comments in the wrong direction.
I'm not saying losing round 1 isn't a surprise, I'm saying:
A. it's not a big deal and
B. he's lost early in 4 of the past 5 years so it's not as big of a surprise, especially because his game is lacking the most important thing he needs, confidence.
