Typical phrases in football/tennis commentary 17:54 Nov 7, 2011
Further to Phil's "follow-through" and "bringing things to a successful conclusion", as well as the additional context provided, nerves, excitement, tiredness can all be blamed in football for the lack of concentration that leads to "poor finishing", "lack of finish", etc., while, in tennis, commentators often talk of players being unable "to close out" the game/match for the same reasons. Not quite sure precisely how to fit that into your text, but I hope it gives you some more ideas. |
