ITST Rumor Mill: Looks like SIM is on horizon....

Postby djarvik » Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:49

For the last month or so, ITST has been in serious negotiations with former SIM stars from Top Spin 3 tour and from what I hear, some of them have agreed to sign a new long-term contracts and play in the new Top Spin 4 tours penning some minor details.

The players have said they plan to take part in a few intensive training camps scheduled for this summer as well as a few exhibition tournaments early this fall before finally making decisions on singing the contracts. If everything goes well they should be ready to hit the tour sometime after US Open events.

At this point I cannot disclose the names of players who are seriously interested in playing, as ITST doesn't have the final commitment from them. Training camps that are scheduled for the upcoming weeks will be the determining factor for many. What I can disclose is that all players who agreed to participate are unique and all have something to offer in their style of play and all have expressed desire for future accomplishments on Top Spin 4 tour.

I also hear that some of the coaches out there who follow closely ITST rumors are approaching the players and offer their services. There is a big pool of unemployed coaching talent out there, as well as coaches currently under contracts, offering unique and very targeted regiments for improvement in specific areas. This is a new concept for our TS3 stars who are used to playing with little to no coaching. It will take some of them longer then others, but they will find an appropriate coach to further help develop their strengths at the end.

I am sure many of you are glad to hear this, but please, for now, keep it confidential, after all, these are just rumors. ;)

I will keep you posted if I hear anything else around the office. Stay Tuned!

Be careful Djarvik... I'm thinking of doing a 'News Of The World', and hacking your phone to get the details of these secret players! :twisted:

Sound good.
What would the likelihood be of SIM challengers and futures?

If a SIM tour, please not again with those Bashmakov s, Bucchi s and Co.

Just set up rules (VH not more as ..., BH not more as ..., Power not more as ...) and it s ok.

Darn, I wanted to help!

But I was not here for TS3.

Good luck to all of you.

Any idea/news when this SIM Tour may be coming. Waiting for it is the main thing stopping me from quitting TS4 ITST matches permanently.

Right now I'm done with the regular Tour.

Will there be some true Test Tournaments before the eventual Sim Tour starts?

Anyways, sounds great. :)
