Why? if a game is fun or not, depends on the style of player, no matter if your rival uses cannon or nakamura

It gets boring constantly playing the same player over and over again, and they are the strongest players, so its basicaslly 90% being 4/90 or 3/90, it gets repetitive

marlonbrando(House) defeats coke4(Tompson) 7-5 6-4

Wa a pretty fun match with some great rallies. In the end his serve was wayy to good, i couldnt return it propably, and also he was moving really well, which fustrated me as he was House and this didnt help. I thought i hit very cleanly but ultimatly didnt have the killing touch or care enough about winning so i lost. But an enjoyable match and it was nice not to be playing a Cannon or Nakamura.

1st Set- Goes on serve until 4-4 very evenly, with me putting a bit more pressure on his serve but him doing consistanlty well on my serve. At 4-4 thanks to a UE by me, a lob winner and return winner he set up 0-40, however i managed to turn defense into attack to save the first, save the second with service winner then save the 3rd after a long rally. I then held but at 5-5 he gets another break point, i save it but he gets another and breaks.

2nd Set- Similar to first, goes on serve until 4-4 when he gets 15-40, i save them and get advantage, but he gets another b/p, takes it then serves it out easily.

congrats marlon...u r playing very good...but seeing your last results i wonder why if u beat so many great players,i lost by almost everyone in sim...i mean...u r a great player but we play a lot,really a lot of friendlies sim match and they r everytime balanced...is it true that u win 60%-maybe70%of our match but r very close match...

but at the end u beat alex,coke and many others and i lost..
2 possibilities:
1.my game give u particular problem that other player don't have
2.when u play with me,u don't play at your best

maybe there is a third:i know u too good...much betters than others....

which is the answer?

@Coke

Great Match.You managed too well your weak backhand side and your defensive skills are impressive.Goodmatch with good variation shots.


@Petrelli.

Dont underestimate u. You have good skills and your a topplayer on fire.You have weapon for destroy my game.That simple.

When i play you, i give my best.But im a fanciful player.High and low level depends days of the week.

[Otlichno]

Otlichno (Bishop) defeats The_Hoff78 (Nakamura) 6-7 7-5 6-3.

1st set: The Hoff breaks me immediately and leads 4-1 before I break back to level it to 4-4. We both hold serve to the tie break which I lost 7-4.

2nd set: We both start off battling it out waiting for a single lapse in concentration, I was able to keep my focus and broke at 6-5 after he had a game point.

3rd set: I start getting aggressive off my returns and break immediately and the rest of the match went on serve.

We both played very well but as the rallies got longer and longer I was able to handle the rallies better and that saw me through the match. If it wasn't for my improved serve I would have lost easily.

Played and won my quarter vs brgrflipr 7-6 7-6


Was a great match.So hard work for win in two straight sets.Amazing rallys during the match.


He's managed his one hander backhand,his weak side, so well with change of pace and direction.


Both have 3 break points in the match,both convert one.

My topspin forehand and my volley in my attacking game was on.But with his power, my defensive skills was crucial.

Good Game to Brgerflipr.Was a really fun and good match.

Let me just add that he was House & I was Bucci. The different styles made for good rallies. The match came down to just a few points and MarlonBrando played them better than me. We both had our chances, and Marlon just made the best out of his while I squandered mine. Good luck in the next round sir!

Didn't realize Alex didn't post it but his House beat my Bishop 6-2 6-2, in the quarters. The match itself lasted about 10 minutes which in itself should reveal just how bad this beating was. It was a pretty long while ago so I forgot the details but all I remember is how quick and effortless the match was for him, he was just too good on that day.

Yea I felt really good in that match. You got online a bit late so I had time to warm up, something I didn't do before any match in ages and it paid off Score was harsh still, you just had problems on your serve and I took advantage of that, in ralleys we were perfectly level.
