Rome Masters MS

[coke4]

Thought i might as well make a topic about this, ill start

coke4 def. LERC 6-2 7-5

1st Serve-I break straight away then hold for a 2-0 lead, i think at 4-2 i manage to break again to serve out the set, i did so it it was an easy 6-2, but i played soe fantatsic points.

2nd Set- The game really tightens up and im struggling to win points on his serve, i get a few bp but he saves them, he started hitting the ball very clean so i couldnt get into his service games. At 5-5 i open up a 0-30 lead, he then hits two double faults in a row to grant me the break, i then serve it out.

I have played yesterday with zintonio and i won 6-3, 6-3 . He is very good for a newcomer and he was holding up his serve on important points. I must had 12bp opportunities and i managed to get three out of them. I see great potential in his style of play, we will see further from him if he practises.

Lots of rallies for MS match, great defense from him, and some amazing points, especially from my side. It was great playing you Zintonio.

PS. I have a new player in MS, so watch out guys

Just beat ELTXETXU 67 76 64, he is a very clean and strong opponent. After losing a tight 1st set my mind was wandering and I was ready to crash and burn but I snatched the breaker. At 54 in the decider I was 15 40 but he saved both mp, then a 3rd before I finally took it. This was the type of match I used to regularly sneek through but its been a while so feels really good. KPar next, we have had some tight matches in the past, the last one at Davis Cup I won so hopefully I can make the QF.

Coke4 rides his luck, defeats brgerflipr 7-6(6) 7-6(4) to advance to final

Brger really outclassed me this match, he was putting pressure on more or less every one of my service games and i could barely toucg his game for 4-4 to 6-6 then 0-0 to 4-4. First few games were class, lots of rallies, then we tired out and there were less rallies(but still some great ones) and lots of winners, especially his 1 handed BH! Lasted about 50 mins.

1st Set- We both hold without anybreak points until 5-4 when he gets a set point at 30-40 on my serve, i miss my first serve but hit a service winner with my second to save it then hold. He held easily then i struggled to hold. Tie Break I get an instant mini break after a long rally when i came to the net and hit a volley winner. I held one point but then he got it back however when i missed a volley after a good pass. Somewhere in the breaker he gets another mini break and gets a 6-3 lead, i save two on my serve then fight to level it at 6-6, i then anticipate his serve hit a good return and follow it up with a BH winner. I take the next point with a volley winner to take the set.

2nd Set- I continue to be outclassed and at 3-4 he opens up a 15-40 lead on my serve, however i save both even though i had to hit second serves on both. At 4-5 he gets another break point but i save it. In the Breaker i go up an early mini break and mantain it, at 6-4 i took the match with a 2nd serve ace!

This was one of those matches where the word "heart" comes to mind. Coke had a lot of it and dug deep. Really deep. I threw everything I had at him and he found a way to win. All the great ones have it, today Mr. Coke showed it. Again, I repeat........"heart".

Even tho, it ended in a loss, this match reminds of why I love ITST. Real-life tennis, great rallies, tense points. No risk slices, no double trigger returns on every return, no ridiculous dropshots. Just a clean, fun match.

And BTW..... I still can't believe I F***ing lost! DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
