Australian Open 2011 SIM - Predictions & Results

[Mack2300]

i will reighn champion lol

Seen you just took out Mack in 4. Looks like you have been making big improvement on xbox as well as PS3.

Just would like to add that it could barely even be called "a match" as the lag was the most ridiculous I have ever encountered. Not blaming my oponnent as he probably had to deal with similar conditions but it was like the equivalent of playing on one leg - couldn't move on return, couldn't time lt risk..just a disaster.
I'm cursed when it comes to sim,clearly

[riley108]

yes mack the lag was very very bad my end too

[Moralspain]

yes mack the lag was very very bad my end too

OMG hahaha so we're gonna have same problem i guess eh Riley?, well anyway we'll try do deal with it

I hope the lag issues are not so decisive with the TS4, it's a real shame.

RILEY108 (HOUSE) DEFEATS MORALSPAIN (MAHONE)

6-2 7-6 6-0

1ST SET

i break straight after a couple longish rallies i held fairly comfortably to take the set i think moralspain was trying to work me out

2ND SET

moralspain really upped his game in this set i was quite surprised in the high jump of quality in his play in this set we both break points throughout the set but none were converted, the set goes to tie break and i take 6-2

3RD SET

i dont know what happend to moralspain all i can think is that he gave in, in the final set i won the very comfortably 6-0

thanks for a good game moralspain you play very well especially in the 2nd set

[Moralspain]

Hey, yeah well played man, this was our 1st match so your style surprised me a bit, my top spin game with the lt was useless against you, you managed to hit with you BH with a great timing when the ball was at its highest point, more or less like Berdich or Murray do with his BH against Nadal top spin shots.....anyway it's true we reached the tie-break in the 2nd but i didn't feel i could win the match, you were returning better than me during the whole match, in the other hand i couldn't read your serve which is curious because i use to return well.
Another thing that i do well is to put the ball in no matter what when i'm returning and then run and reach the next shot my opponent hits and try have a long rally and bla bla, but you attacked all those balls perfectly well.


In conclusion you did better than me in every aspect of the game tonight, nice perform mate and good luck.


BTW: lag free match

[AMAZING ZIZOU]

Amazing Zizou and I had a 120 minute doubles match in TS2 once

Actually I'll have to ask him how long it was, it might have been 150 minutes.

1 hour and 55 min. I can't forget that match. Was even talking about it with tomiltom last week 6-4 6-7 6-7 6-3 6-4.
The most sweting and enjoyable match i ever played

Fedfan (Gray) Snuffs Out Rae (Lopez) Fightback 6-3 6-4 6-7 7-6

I started the match really well dictating the points, hitting down the lines strongly to open the court and serving well, I had 15-40 for a 5-1 lead but in the end he kept it to a single break.

In the second I broke early and he could not find the openings on my serve and I was on my way or so I thought.

In the third I had some more chances but he was defending better and getting a lot to bring the point back to neutral and moving me around with his forehand, but at 5-5 15-40 I thought I had him before he forced a breaker which he won with a single break.

I was furious to have lost the initiative and came out firing, moving to 15-40 but again he saved and the missed chances for me were mounting. Then out of the blue he broke me to serve for the set at 5-4. I was trying to contain my frustration and when I got to 15-40 again I held myself together to cling on and force the breaker.

He was playing with a lot more top spin now, especially on the return and I was having to concentrate to kill the ball off and not miscue my second shot he recovered a mini break but I went ahead again and managed an ace to advance to my second Grand Slam QF.

Could be Zizou next, who I beat at Wimbledon when he was not playing his best but hopefully if I play like this and be less wasteful with my BP chances, who knows.

[Rocketsfall]

Baghdad (Cannon) just beat me (Lopez) 6-3 6-2 6-3. Some great rallies but result never in doubt. He came up with more consistency and winners from all parts of the court.

[djarvik]

WOW. Well done Fedfan. RAE is a tough guy to put away, you did it with Gray......who is a great starter but not a great finisher. Impressive man!


Tough one RAE.

[riley108]

well done fedfan keep it up buddy

[Baghdad Baghdatis]

I was very impressed with Rocketsfall. The scoreline was deceiving and he was returning great at times and created at least 6 break point opportunities. A nice SIM player if may add, the kind you want on the tour.

A big result for the Specialist09, beating Puttu in 4 sets. I said he was a darkhorse, can beat the best on his day, and this was his day!

[Saarbrigga]

I am just a pal of RAE and don t want to put myself in, but i spoke to him yesterday and he told me he already thought to much about AMAZING ZIZOU instead of focusing on fedfan.

I am not saying fedfan played worst, no he deserve that win! But i can say for sure RAE didn t play with the same intensitiy as he was playing against his german rival Hamburgerboy.

I have most respect for you or Roman but he should have known that Fedfan is hell of a client. I made the same mistake last year. Now, I always have a look to the records of my opponent. It avoid surprises. If he would have looked, he would have known he defeated me twice in a row last year and has some great results .....
I like Fedfan but I am sad i can't meet my friend RAE in the quarter.

A big result for the Specialist09, beating Puttu in 4 sets. I said he was a darkhorse, can beat the best on his day, and this was his day!

I couldn't beleive it when I saw it. Putu was playing so strong lately !! I don't understand what could have happened.
