How much do mental games impact player performance in high-stakes matches?

I was watching a tennis match, and the commentators kept talking about “mental toughness” being a key factor. But how much does it really matter compared to raw skill? Can you think of instances where a mentally stronger player outplayed a technically better opponent? I’m curious if you guys see mental strategies as underrated or overrated in sports like tennis, basketball, or even F1.
