05.06.2013 13:51:14 | Florian Mayer, the last year's winner was knocked out as soon as the second round of this year's 20th anniversary challenger in Prostejov. Beating Teymuraz Gabashvili (144th in ATP ranking) was beyond his abilities. "The opponent played very well, but I still had many opportunities which I unfortunately did not take," Mayer of Germany said after the match.
"I had a chance to win the second set and I believed that I would succeed in the third set then. But it's tennis. You don't use the opportunity, you can't win," the last year's winner evaluated the match. And why didn't the German finally win the second set in which he was leading 4:1? "At that time, the opponent was more lucky. He hit the line several times and I couldn't do anything about it. It was a little unfortunate, but it's a game. It's a pity, I believed I would stay longer in Prostějov."
