Looks like Norberto is crashing out of MSS event after two straight sets defeats. No surprise against ILuvBilVal but TheSPECIALIST09 too :shock: :shock:

Iluv is not human, for sure. Specialist on a good day is as good as any of the big guns. When we connect in a lag free match - we have a blast every-time!

Norberto? .... never heard of him. :D

Had a few matches lately, after about 2 month break.... did actually well, I thought I'd struggle to win games...let alone sets and certainly not matches. So if anyone is up for a friendly match - invite me.

Losing those two matches without even winning a set was pretty disappointing, but at least I am going to finish the season as the no. 1 anyway :D - and I could not have won the tournament anyway, as this freak called IluvBillVal is simply unbeatable for me in SIM... his advantage-side-backhand-cross returns that land 2 inches after the net on the line are not human - as long as can't figure out his secret and can't play them myself, I see no chance of beating him...

I had a very bad connection against Specialist, he used to stick-kick-serve without giving any direction and that in combination with lag makes it extremely difficult to risk-return, I think I missed 90%, and if I did not go for a risk-return, it was nearly impossible for me to make it into a rally against his high-aggressive baseline-game... he really played extremely well, and i think he can be a threat for anyone except IluvBillVal...

However, I predict IluvBillVal beating RAE in the SF in straight sets, Puttu beating Specialist in 3, and IluvBillVal beating Puttu in a high class final in 3 sets.

I don't know who Bill is or why he's so loved. But I guarantee that his lover will ruin everyone in this tournament.

^ :lol:

I don't think anyone is anywhere near ILuv at this point. I can clearly see that he is not even trying half of the match....and then gets his break and the win. If he would really "go for it" all match long - its bagels all around!

IluvBillVal is IMO the best SIM player who ever played this game, but you Puttu, are not far behind him. In fact, I've never seen anyone playing better than you did in our last exibition match (set) that you won 6-1, not even IluvBillVal, but the problem is, that he playes NEARLY as perfect as you did that one time EVERY single time I played him... he is the more consistent one, but playing at your best you can beat him, and I think at the moment you are the only one who can do that...

Specialist is really an extremely good player, but I don't think that he can take you by surprise a 2nd time... under normal conditions the final should be IluvBillVal vs. Puttu...
Good luck my friend

You are only number 1 Norberto because I retired 2 months ago buddy, so yes number 1 by default :wink:

Billval is a true great, I would love to play a topspin mini SIM super 6 league over the course of say 3 months, all players to play each other twice. My dream table would include:

Anteros
Picachu
Noberto
Illuvbilval
Djarvik
Baghdad

Aw shucks I didn't realize I was so popular! :oops:


:lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks guys! This year has been a blast and an absolute pleasure to say the least. I'd have to say Baghdad that is a killer idea and I'd be all for it. We should work on contacting the others and setting something up... I am all about random little off shoot tourneys here and there. Maybe we could even set up our own team tennis type deal, ya know? Except just have like a small team of three guys and people can team up as they choose.

I don't know I'm just blurting stuff out at this point. Whatever man, anything to get your retired ass back out on the court... I was looking forward to beating YOU here at the Tour Finals!!! :wink:

One more thing. I am, indeed an alien as NH and AL have speculated.
Norberto H or bust.

He didn't exactly gave the place. I had to substitute him as all matches in his group were done and he had not played a single match. I gave it an extra 2 days and then made a decision to substitute.

This is exactly why we have Subs in WTF. :wink:
