Match with NorbertoH yesterday. He won 6-7 6-1 7-6. It's just impressive how well he serves with only 70 on serve and how well he returns with only 40 on return.
In the first and third set I held on to my serve, not without a struggle. One mini-break in the first set tiebreak did the job for me but the truth is I never really had a look at his serve throughout the match. He mixes up, paints the lines and still gets a huge first serve percentage. Norberto was 2/7 on break points, of course I had none. I fired 15 aces, Norberto had 10.

I tried a new player vs Mack yesterday on clay and he whopped me hard! :lol:

6-3 6-4 if I remember correctly. His cross court backhand is a killer.

Gotta start playing on a daily bases again. 2-3 WT matches/week isn't enough.

Yeah you played really well and deserved those wins. The first match convinced me that my Cilic character has had his day

so I need to retire him, for the clay season at least coz he is too slow on the surface. But you still beat my new character in the second match but at least it was more competitive even if I did waste a 6-4 tiebreak lead in 1st set

But really your returns seem to have improved so much. I always had you down as more of a server but your returns are to be feared now too.I am looking forward to getting revenge on a hard court though :lol:

Well i got my revenge against Norberto and it was on clay too 7-6 6-7 7-6 :lol:

Very tight match. In fact we both ended up winning 119 points each at the end. His 70 serve is pretty amazing. I didn't have a single break point chance for the entire match.

That makes me feel somewhat good. :lol:

...I always have chances on his serve, but never end up converting :lol:

I am impressed Mack!

I had my first match agaisnt callofduty today. I won 6-4, 7-6. He is a great server and good at getting you on the run. The first set was close at 3-3, but i broke on that service game and served out the set. The second set i saw 2 chances to break early on, but failed at both. The tiebreak i got an early minibreak, which led to other minibreaks ans served out the match

Great match callofduty

same to you .we had a nice match. your returns and your game from the line is great. tennis is so a close match. in first set by 3-3 you had 1 breakpoint .
and you use it with an amazing crosshot,and than you bring the set home.that was very strong played from you.
oh i se some,nothing important,but our resullt was 4-6 6-7
because you had only 1 break in 1 set
not important. it was a good match.

Woops, my bad man, i just edited it.

i played samL64 tonight and won 6-3, 7-6. I didnt play that well, that game, but sam has improved a lot. He uses a ton of risks and has farily good timing as well

I also played picachu as well, i won that 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. He was using his gilles simon character. That little bugger is very frustrating, he tracked everything down. The first set i broke at 4-4 and served out. In the second i didnt sow up and he was all over me and took that with an early brake and then another one. I broke righ back at the beginnig of the third set ans held serve to win the match. We had some great and long rallies.

Great matches, Picachu and sam

I folloewed those up with a match with djarvik on clay. BAD IDEA!!!
He beat me 7-6, 6-3. I had a 2 minibreak lead but my serve was lost at the end of the set. The second set he broke late after some tiring crosscourt rallies. i had no answer for him reaching evrery ball on clay. It was a nightmare for me :lol:

He was using his fernando gonzales, while i wa trying out a new guy.

I had an exhibition with a new member, R_LeeFly.

He used a young Rafael Nadal, and have not developed his muscles and height. I'm guessing he was around 14 years old

Anyway, he played against my Gustavo Kuerten. Young Nadal prevailed 2 sets to 1, 6 - 4, 4 - 6, 7 - 5. It was a tense encounter as you can see from our stats!

Welcome to ITST R_Leefly. Very good game.

You played well!

BTW, what was your impressions of my Gonzales? Was his 67 BH easy to go after?

I was try to overcome it for some time now, and I think I am starting to actually sucseed. I played Rob before you and lost 7.6 6.4.

I played Balken Power earlier tonight and won 6-2 6-7 6-2. It was a very entertaining match. First set I played pretty well and then Balken started to find his range in the second and played some amazing cross-court angles to take the 2nd set tiebreak. Fortunately I broke early in the 3rd and took control from there.

When i saw 67 on backhand my eyes lit up!!!!, but u defended it well, and used it as a weapon. I would say its pretty solid

i was still happy that I won the 2nd set, and really didnt expect a break in the 3rd. when that happened i was very disappopinted with myself. But your defence was so unbelievable. the only thing I could do was use even more risk. while it payed off in the second set, I f-ed it up in the 3rd, because I just couldnt hit the ball past you. I was so annoyed LOL.

I do remember this long risk shot rally in the first set. It was a really awesome rally, which you won of course. But those kinds of things make this game so fun to play:)
