Wimbledon 2012

[eliomelma]

Otlichno vs C4iLL = 6-7 6-2 6-4, 7-5.

First set was really close, I saved 2 break points occasions, and had no opportunity on his serve, I didn't find solutions to his service.
I win in tie-break with some errors from him.

Second set I got breaked earlier, so I gave up the set to preserve my stamina.

Third set : I was leading all the set with a break in advance, like 4-2, but he came back with 2 doubles faults from me...
So 4-4, then 5-4 for him. I'm serving, but my concentration decreases, I made mistakes, and bim 6-4...

Fourth set : same set as the third. I was leading 4-2, I had opportunities to even lead 5-2 on his serve, but he managed to save his serve.

I don't know how but I **** up my service just after, so 4-3, and then 5-4 for him.
I saved a match point on my service and came back to a great level : 5-5.

On his next service I was hot, it was like 30-30, I could have break him but I failed, so 6-5.
And once again, I **** up my next service despite saving 2 match points with aces... 7-5. End of the match...

I really play incredible points today to get at his level, the match was incredible. Don't know if he has the replay but there's some points that surely deserve some attention

Congratz to him, he's a true figther and has an amazing level.
On my side, this match has made me progress, I've found new tactics to struggle against the very best !
With more train I think I can erase all these stupid mistakes I sometimes do.

it seems that you enjoyed yourself even if you lost

Kyuuji def. Fox 6/3 6/3 7/5


Lucky for me he wasn't in form, no 1st serve for him, so I could manage to win this match, we had some great points, playing well from both side, the only thing was his 1st serve.
With no 1st serve he couldn't do anything that explain the score.
Well he had some set balls in the 3rd set but I manage to come back as he made doubles faults.
Finally I won a GS, gg and gl

Congrats kyuuji! I didn't even know that it was time for the final, because nothing was posted here about the second semi-final (sure I could have looked on the ITST Tennis Elbow page).

[TWM-Fox]

First of all, congrats to Kyuuji the score says everything, he is the best, in my opinion the best of all time. I play a thousand of match with my sparring partner of all time Kyuuji and its pretty impressive to see how he improve every time. Some used to call him marathon man, yes he is, but i would call him the Cameleon with this amazing capacity to adapt each situation each game. Seeing his game today is simply terrifying and i think no one can be better than that.

Wimbledon is THE tournament for Kyuuji, i know he would die for it, he prove it again today, its no mercy, you have to be 200% ready just to see a bit fall the master. Grass on TE has always been is favorite season.

Hope for Kyuuji this win would turn the page of Roland Garros where he met just like me with his first loose. I really hope that this would be the beginning of an era cause playing against him could only give everyone a big challenge.


To sum up with my past tournaments and Wimbledon, well i would say i'm pretty satisfy, i think i've done my best and as i've said it in some pass thread, i've never been further than the 2nd round of tournament on TE. My first Grand Slam of all time i think i could only be satisfy with it.

Regrets ? Yes, my semi final with Otlichno was pretty amazing, and i think my first serve simply gave me the win. more than 70% 1st serve and 24 ace, that was the think to do in order to win against him and in order to disturb Kyuuji. Unfortunately for me, my first serve when down up to 50% against Kyuuji. Simply not enough at all when you play a master. This point really frustrated me cause for a Grand Slam final i hope to produce better. I was really aiming a 5 set match and not give an easy win to Kyuuji. I managed to do it in the third set having 2 3 set points but this was to late, the war was already over. I think this will be hard to take cause i don't know when i'll have again a chance to reach a Grand Slam final again, and i really wanted to play with no regrets pushing Kyuuji to the limit just like i always tried to do

Congratulations again to the Champ who deserve it, i could not imagine an other man than him. Hope TE would stay on ITST and hope that the tour will welcome more players and more competition, see you all next year

[VMoe86]

Hope TE would stay on ITST and hope that the tour will welcome more players and more competition, see you all next year

One only has to decide between ITST Tour and ManaGames Tour. No need to leave.

[TWM-Fox]

Well this is not what i really meant. I wanted to say here that i hope the tour will welcome more players in order to make live the tour, just like Top Spin Tour.

I'm a bit afraid to loose the tour if there isn't more people interested by the game. And personal live could also ask people to have a break.

Just wanted to say that hope TE tour would be greater as TS tour and even more

[VMoe86]

I hope so, too, a base of 32 players would be nice. I hope to play you again this year, you've motivated me a lot to improve my game.

At least stay around for the great tournaments.

[TWM-Fox]

I dream of 96 draw GS lol. Well glad i have motivated you, thats great words for me ^^

And don't worry i'm not leaving, not today, still some great match to play before leaving ^^ and don't worry we are all going to improve together, no choice if you want the fall of Kyuuji xD

[SlicerITST]

Its hard to get to the top, its even harder to stay there.

[eliomelma]

Congrats to Kyuuji!
Where are the records of the matches ? semi and Final ?

[eliomelma]

Djokovic..... the 2 slam man on Tennis Elbow!

[Elias]

Congrats to both finalists and kyuuji for winning this GS.

I just watched the replay, that was really a great level of play with some amazing points, and full of insights for lower ranked players. Too bad Fox couldn't convert those 4 set points !

Too bad you didn't also recorded Fox/Otlichno semi, i would have been curious to watch it as well

i'll report here the wimbly final stats :

[TWM-Fox]

Sorry i could not record my semi final, i have serious problems with my graphics with the ITST mod, don't know why. My game keeps on freezing whenever i start an online game, so my opponent have to wait a minute till my graphic crash, then i get like noise in my screen but i can play.

Sometimes i'll have freeze on every game, during the game there isn't any freeze. My pc is only 2 years old, and TE is not a heavy game so don't know from what it is due

I've already send my logs to Manutoo and he said that he didnt see anything abnormal.

Indeed, i reinstall the game and the patch a couple of times, and update my graphic driver still the same.

Thats why i don't record my match cause it give me more problems, sorry mate, maybe Otlichno have done it, but i think i've the final stats of the match

[eliomelma]

4 set points for fox, you had the chance for reopen the match!
