Actually, I am fairly certain many antelope have fallen to tigers in the Prehistoric. People forget that the world is not as it once was, and the range of tigers (as well as other animals) was once vast. Tigers covered all of Asia, and Asia has species of antelope even today, such as the Saiga. Imagine how many more used to be there.
