[Otlichno]

I beat Petrelli83, 7-5 2-6 6-1. We started our match at 7 CET, and generally where I live the laggiest part of the day is from 7-9 CET which is a shame because we regularly have fun exhibitions with no lag at all. Sorry Petrelli.
After the first set we restarted but the lag continued.

In the 2nd set I was making allot of errors, and my timing wasn't exactly helped with the lag we had, so in the third I decided I wouldn't risk a shot and was able to keep the rallies long and win them. I only have the stats of the 2nd-3rd sets.

Ah its a shame lag has to decide a match

We have the same problem when europeans have to play south america but u sorta get used to it tho it is difficult lol

Cos the lag just ruins timing , I had this problem with DR II so you just sorta hit blind and hope for the best

Grampa Brger starting up a cat-fight like we used to have back in the day?

[brgerflipr]

Nah, Otlichno and I are cool. We just couldn't play our last match cuz of lag. We both got a good laugh out of it cuz he kicked my ass in the coin toss afterwards.

Who is the best coin-tosser in ITST?

[brgerflipr]

Dude, i don't know who the best is, but i certainly know who the worst is........me.

I lost two coin tosses, 5-2 each.

5-2!!!!!!!! How is that even mathematically possible?

Its called hosts having it in for you, its what us good looking fellows have to put up with from these jealous hosts. Why do you think Andy constantly has WO given against him?

[petrelli83]

i'm a lucky man

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

[djarvik]

For the record....Andy ALWAYS gets a WO from me if he can't play a match. I know its not fair to others, but lets face it, looks count.

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.

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