[Otlichno]

Played my final against Eliolema and he beat me 6-2 6-2.

I don't think I played very well, but he played a smart game. His serve was very very good, and he didn't engage in hard hitting rallies the way I like to play. He was hitting high loopy shots that got the error out of me. I should have changed my game a bit, but I'm not used to playing anything but offensive tennis from the back and he was defending so well. I ended up making too many errors and he won it. But his serving was excellent.

Thanks Otlichno for his words. Yes i played a very good final, win 6-2 6-2. before the match i was worried because i had seen the semifinal between Elias and Otlichno bacause never met Otlichno before today. i was worried because he played at crazy pace, hitting every ball heavily and scoring many winners from baseline. Strong accelerations too. So i thought that if i play at his rythm, i have no chance. So my tactic was to serve well and and close soon the point, and during rallies hit many top spin shots to raise the trajectroty of the ball , pressing him to make mistakes(against Simon i think that is the only tactic). And it works, he makes many errors, and my serve was fantastic. So he not was in his best day today, but his serve wasn't very good too and it help me to break him.
I am very happy for my first Tennis Elbow title, but there isn't Kyuuji in draws.

In post TENNIS ELBOW ITST TOUR FINALS VIDEOS i will post the record match.
