Because many of the guys he's been playing lately would still be able to smack that ball deep into a courner. Standing on the baseline is always risky at the top level.
@ucharecords Right. I think Tomic felt he had to guess BUT down the line would have kept the ball in front of him where he could've cut down the angles a little better.
Sometimes we have to guess what our opponent is about to guess ...

I think that was excellent anticipation by Ito and poor execution by tomic.
tomic should have gone down the line not allowing wide open court.
