IL Nats 2022 MS F: Edan Leshem [1] def. Roi Ginat 6-2, 6-1 Match Recap
🎥 Sport 5 IL
Another first-time Nationals winner also emerged in the Men's Singles between the first seed Edan Leshem and Roi Ginat. Last round, Ginat advanced because of Daniel Cukierman's retirement while leading 6-1, in the position of Ginat held at 1-0, while Leshem stayed solid when he faced Alon Elia, coming to the finals without dropping a set.
Initially, Ginat's shots became a different point of attention when his backhand down-the-line winner was caught off-guard at *1-1 0-30 to 15-30 as a response to Leshem's backhand. Then, Leshem managed to break at 4-1 after he fired his forehand from near the net swiftly, and eventually took the first set 6-2.
Somehow, Leshem strengthened his level in the second set, where his experience came in handy. He broke early in the second set at 2-0 because of his forehand down-the-line winner, admittedly gone even more aggressive before surviving another match point scare. His backhand and volley error almost created a break chance for Ginat from 30-0 to 30-0 at 5-1, before he scored the match point and converted it, both via unreturned serves.
This first Nationals title (without dropping a set) became a cherry on top on Leshem's rising 2022 season, after several ITF finals (some notably in Raanana), Tel Aviv 250 Round 2 (l. Vasek Pospisil), Charlottesville Challenger Round 2 (l. Juncheng Shang), as well as taking a set out of Jiri Lehecka and putting Tomas Machac to a fight in his Davis Cup ties. With his aim becoming to play (and hopefully sustain) in the Challengers, this is definitely a good start to his 2023 pre-season.
Sometimes you have to push yourself to the absolute limit to strive for what you believe and dream …. The end destination is not easy to get to .. but the journey along the way to get there .. will be so worthwhile in the end
