AT250 Gerry Weber

[C4iLL]

C4iLL (Fed) vs Inseedious (Fish) = 6-4, 7-5.

Well this was a real good match with a lot of winners, very fast conditions and normal ball, not a beach volley ball floating in the air like yesterday with Florian the King of Delay. Btw Inseedious hosted.
I played this as an exhibition and it was cool, giving me again the taste to play this game.

The matchup was however rather unbalanced for him, so congratulations for his performance because the score could have been far more large if he didn't play well. He had 0 break point opportunity, me 5, mainly because of the characters.

If he had Federer, it would have been at least a 3 sets.

[El Croato]

Croato (Roger Federer) - Uchuaïa Nature (Feliciano Lopez) 3/6 7/6 3/6

Well, the scores says it all. A very close match with two players treating each other with mutual respect and playing some exquisite tennis on the Gerry Weber Stadion court, the kind of matches you want to take part in more often.

There is actually nothing more I should add.

You should also mention your luck in some important points ahahah! But don't worry, it's not your fault, it's me being very unlucky as always, I have the ability to make my opponents play very lucky situations Good match, very intense, I was not totally confident so I wasn't very aggressive, I should have come more times to the net. However, this match gave me an important lesson: Fish is not the best choice for grass, I won't pick him for Wimbledon. Sad to say this, because I love Fish's anticipations and volleys, but I would see him better on Hard (maybe it could also be because of the difficulties we have at net since the tonicity fix, which however improved a lot the game overall, so it's ok). Just a shame this matchup, as it could be at least a SF.

[C4iLL]

Final : Pidzi (Kohl) vs C4iLL (Fed) = 6-4 ; 6-2

Well, this may be the most exciting game I ever played on 2013. Extremely fast conditions, we played a true ping-pong tennis, it was 100% about skill and tactic.

First set : he led 4-0 with a great realism and a very surprising high rythm which surprised me a lot at beginning (I was not used to play such a high level guy). After a few minutes I began to play at this awesome rythm, and this became a real pleasure to play at such a level.

I missed several break points in several games to be led 4-0, but I finally got a break and came back 4-3. At that moment, we neutralized ourself, and he logically won 6-4.

Second set : I began to better understand his way to play, and I think I began to slightly dominate the rallies. At 2-1 30-15 for me I think, my laptop came back on windows to tell me I had no energy left, I came back on the game and the screen was bright, a little bit freezing. This disturbed me, and he won the game. Anyway I kept playing and I felt better.

At 3-2, my computer completely stopped... We replay 10 minutes after and I was completely out of the rythm, he won 6-2 in a few minutes (13 winners, me 3).

Once again I lost a final, but it was great to face a very skillfull and sympathic opponent under good conditions.

Theres nothing more i could add to Caills report, he summed it up pretty nicely, only 1 thing after the interuption which obviously bothered Caill much he felt bad on court so thats why it ended up like which is a shame coz it should be even better set than 1st.

Also have to say i found Caill to be direct, honest and polite guy and considerable opponent.

Thats it and CHAMPAIGNE SHOWERS for the first title
