Winston-Salem 2012

About the serves we hear you for sure. It's a bit difficult when we can see at the same time matches with 40 aces and other long ones with only 12.. meaning if we reduce serve efficiency more then those better returners will never been aced anymore ? just a guess but it's worrying in either ways. Though we may go further with the precision stat lowering it a step further again.

If you check the match stats you'll see that I had 12% more return points won, 57%Short,50%medium and 71% long rallies won too.Also I made 26 less unforced errors.Then how is it possible to have only 2 break points in a best of 3 with 3 full sets???!!! .Drives me crazy.Of course Dimitrov deserves congrats for that, but it doesn't make much sense,does it?

Yep, agreed. Still you were both using two servers among the best in the roster, in the highest precision range (0 realtive to power), also Fish anim is utterly easy to trigger good serves, ins't it ? We'll see if we can tweak this further with the precision stat, though we don't want to create too much randomness feeling regarding serve aiming either, would be pretty bad.

And we should also keep in mind this is hardcourt where we are playing on.
I guess on gravel serves are easier to return?

Ugadalou (Fish) vs G.Dimitrov (Federer) 7-6/6-7/7-6

Also one more thing that I noticed the other time I faced Dimitrov but thought it could be a one-time only is his behaviour after losing.
What annoyed me is that there is no sportmanship at all.He just walks away from the session instantly and doesn't bother to congratulate or exchange a word with me.Still, I would understand it after a tough loss if you would leave to cool down and send a pm after a while-that'd be fine.

But you need to know,you see a man's true character after a loss.After a win,everything is great and easy.One last piece of advice,if you want to win,you first need to learn how to lose.Wish you luck in your future matches.

No sportmanship at all? LOL, maybe you forgot about that when I waited you 10 days to play our match. (After the deadline) And I was too nervous after this match. My worst match after my first match vs Robbin. I did too many errors after your slices. If you watch my match vs C4ILL, (I wasn't at top form) I did winners 90 % when he sliced the ball. My serve was awful in the first two sets. And one more thing, I didn't congratulate you after the match, because I was in hurry. I sent some messages in the ITST chat, waiting for the taxi.

So it was you who extended the deadline? And I don't know what this has to do with behaviour on court.

LOL, yeah I told you to extend it because Uga asked me, if I was like Uga said (no sportmanship at all) probably I would ask for wo. I didn't do nothing wrong with my behaviour on court. Uga is talking about after the end of the match. (Chat)

[Ugadalou]

If this hadn't happened after our previous match too, I wouldn't have mentioned it.
But I guess if you had simply said ''good game'', you wouldn't have missed your taxi, right?

I think you are using the wrong balls you supposed to carry these around and collect players signatures with these ones, not play a match.

Thanks for taking the time to edit and upload this Dimitrov!
It was a great and competitive match indeed.

Though because of the size of the ball,I get the feeling I should always have attacked the net as it seems impossible to pass me with so big balls!

[VMoe86]

I bet Uga's balls are bigger, otherwise he would not have won this close match.

nice one

[Ugadalou]

inseedious (Djokovic) vs Ugadalou (Fish) 3-6/7-6/6-4

A nice contest against inseedious,who I feel is one of the up-and-coming forces of the tour.We both played at a high level and it was a competitive match with many rallies as we both returned well.

In the first set I had a great feel of the ball and got a nice rhythm,inseedious was still finding his game so I took advantage,broke and closed it 6-3.

I never got easy holds as inseedious was returning very well and made me hit extra shots or took advantage of 2nd serves.As the match progressed he increased his level and it was getting more and more difficult for me to keep up with his baseline game.So I attacked the net more often with success.In the 2nd we exchanged quick breaks in the first games,I saved 2 set points on 5-4* so we played a tie-break.I had my chances to take the edge there but I feel I was unlucky in a couple of missed shots,saved a set point on his serve but he responded well and managed to win it 9-7.

After this his momentum kept rising and once he found his way to hit through my net game,it was very tough for me to keep up.In the game he broke me in the 3rd set he also hit one of the most beautiful lobs I've seen.

Interesting and strange statistic is that even though inseedious won 55% short and 79% long rallies,I won 71% of medium rallies!

I got a bitter taste exiting the tournament but it will be a nice final between inseedious and Robbin, both unseeded players which shows the dynamics of the tour are changing and how competitive it has become.
