It's very well describing the situation (as above) but why is that situation one of "revenge"?
Are you confused of the definition of revenge?

There's a dictionary that can define it for you.
*edit*
Main Entry: 1re·venge
Pronunciation: ri-'venj
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): re·venged; re·veng·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French revengier, from Old French, from re- + vengier to avenge -- more at VENGEANCE
1 : to avenge (as oneself) usually by retaliating in kind or degree
2 : to inflict injury in return for <revenge an insult>
Therefore, as in definition 1, Tommy avenged himself by retaliating in kind or degree by winning the match this week that he did not win last week against Gaudio.
Get it? Got it? Good.
