I really don’t know who has decided to use Gradinarov like ‘surprise’ substitution for Nikolov, was it Plamen or Nikolov himself…
But it is unbelievable that you leave Uchikov on the bench (player with such a great season) and let Nikolov who was already in 3rd set desperate for oxygen.
Whoever made such a stupid decision is responsible for Bulgaria missing the final.
