New Kid on Block!

[Biscaia_]

Watch this "kid" closely... RicardoNadal. He kicked me early out of the Moselle Open and of the Thailand Open (Yes, I do have lucky draws --').

His playing style is very similar to Sh0case: He hits the ball very early when in attacking rallies, has a setup with low FH and BH (69 79 I think), he even lingers on the serve, just like him! He makes some mistakes though, but he is a very good player. Watch him.

Now, my chances of reaching ITST Finals are wrecked --'

He's JohnCurveo's little brother. Beat me twice as well. He's pretty good. Returns very well.

[Biscaia_]

He is? A talented family

[rf_Barcelonista]

yes he plays wonderful,,after our first match i asked him if he's 1 of the top itst players using another account hehe.!?
coz i had played tens of great players in 2k open tour and WT and great players here in itst,,i caught different between them,,and ricardnadal was playing the style of top itst player with incredibly combining "control and power" shots
and taking balls early,,my guess was close:D
he told me that his bro in top 20 itst player..

He is from Spain.. John is swiss

JohnCurveo is sometimes in Spain, sometimes in Switzerland and actually Spanish, if I recall it correctly. On his forum account it says for Location "Barcelona/Sion".

Or as a real Catalan would say.. I'm from Catalonia not Spain If I remember well hehe I know a Catalan guy from here they hate to be called spanish

but it's still in spain and its not a country is an autonomous community in spain so to say your from spain is still correct

[Moralspain]

In Spain this is serious stuff for many people.

Warning: If any of the spanish members starts an argument about Spain vs Cataluña i'll lock it, a video games forum is not the place to have political discussions.

PS: I know nothing has happened yet but i know my countrymen and as i said this is serious stuff in Spain nowadays.

Well, back on topic there's a new kid on the block. Watch out for him! Please ITST management, don't draw me with him again in the early rounds of the next tournaments respect my seed! I've had my share of Curveo's brother already!

[ICEMAN_9588]

I played agains Biscaia a lot of months ago in World Tour (not ITST), and lost the game. He is very good, so if he says Ricardonadal is a great player, I must believe him

But I played a few times against Curveo too, and he's also a very good player, fast during the rally and various when he was serving.
So it's easy for me to believe that is brother is so good

[Biscaia_]

Well, Iceman, I can't tell you when I think I was better! Back then, or now I'm on the descending part of my career I think!

[JohnCurveo]

HALF-brother , and please call him for his name, not "Curveo's brother". You should be happy Biscaia because hes half portuguese.

Or as a real Catalan would say.. I'm from Catalonia not Spain If I remember well hehe I know a Catalan guy from here they hate to be called spanish

Dont tell me his name is Hug...

[DennieFR1908]

Lol no his name is Sergi, he's from L'estartit or something close to Barca right ?

[ICEMAN_9588]

Well, Iceman, I can't tell you when I think I was better! Back then, or now I'm on the descending part of my career I think!

Don't worry, probably I'd lost anyway...
