THE STREAK IS OVER.
At the Indian Wells Masters, something got into Oleg Urazov. He pranced through the draw without losing a set, smashed Ene Caballero 6-2, 6-3, and then ended the unbeaten streak of Ben Faille in the final, 7-6(5), 6-2. It frankly wasn't even particularly close.
It's one of those things that convinces me that there's a hidden, undocumented, 'hot streak/cold streak' feature behind the scenes. Looks to me like a combo of Faille being on the wrong side and Urazov being on the right side of that, along with the Canadian just being quite good of course.
219 wins in a row ... and then this. It lasted almost 2.5 years, but for moment at least Faille has returned the ranks of mere mortals.
