Internazionali BNL d'Italia

[eliomelma]

Rome tournament is started, i hope to play well and go so far as possible in my Italy, but my draw is hard.I Think that ca4ill will reach te semifinal if he play well because his level is higher now. My friend goroger too as raised his level but in first match has a bad bad opponent Vmoe86. Yesterday at Juventus party i told him that with Juventus win and Madrid federer's win he can win his first match on Itst but he draw does'n t help him .........

Damn you put pressure on me
We'll see ! By the way, it would be great that everyone plays their matches, it's the best way to improve skills and have a dynamic tour...

We played our match with tonigno today but the lag was unbearable.Somehow I don't think it was connection lag,as our ping was always around 100ms only.But that turtle kept flashing up and messing every point.
For what other reason does that stupid turtle flash?Could this be cpu related?Can anyone help resolve this issue?

Did you tried to re-create the game ? Sometimes this resolves the issue.

This happens sometimes i dont really know why, also be sure when hosting the game that the half-delay variable is set-up to AUTO, not a fixed value, if the value is too low this can create such lags.

This morning I played my match against Goroger1 and although the result was the same as in Barcelona, he did some things better this time around. In Barcelona I served 15 aces with Nalbandian, here only 5 aces with Dolgopolov. He also hit more winners this time and had a couple of game points on his serve, which he couldn't take advantage of except for one game. Dolgopolov is in my opinion better than Nalbandian, so Goroger1 definitely improved in some areas.

By the way, there were zero Desyncs -- so much more fun without them!

But goroger1 didn't install new build. you have installed it?

In quarter Uga just beat me 6-7, 6-3, 6-4.

It was the closest match I ever played on TE, really fun.

After having won the first set I thought his level would decrease but he stays at a good level, and his serve was impossible to break throughout all the match. I had some break points opportunities, but that's hard with Llodra to break a good player ^^

ps: at the end of the match, 5-4 for him, I had a break point to get back to his level, but I missed the ball

ps 2 : we both scored 22 aces.

Great match,very competitive and fun to play.Could really have gone either way it just a matter of converting chances.
C4iLL is almost impossible to stop once he gets at the net-great net presence and positioning!

Here are the match stats (wrong page though) :

[eliomelma]

Played my quarter final against Otlichno, 6-4 7-5 for me. Bad bad bad game, during all the match we have many lag, so the match was full of errors, maybe i won because my serve helps me in many point of the match. it is bad because i will play a real match against otlichno, it will be a great battle. This problems maybe are due to djokovic vs djokovic. Last time against elias i wasn't able to play with djokovic after one hour and half of attempts, so i decided to take federer.

As it is with every tournament I have played so far: I run into either kyuuji or eliomelma and lose. This time it was kyuuji playing as Federer, who stopped the dog I let out and it was a very good match for me and my confidence going into RG -- I lost only 4-6, 4-6.

The second set was neck to neck right until 4-4 when I made a bit more errors than before. I was serving so well, my forehand was good and so I could put pressure on him. Of course Federer's forehand is absolutely lethal -- one shot a bit too short on that side and you can say good bye to the point.

In the beginning of the match he was making all the volleys, but throughout the match I managed to make it more difficult for him and he stayed back.

As I said before: Dolgopolov is really good. I had 16 winners to 25 errors and 12 aces, he had 40 winners to 26 errors and 4 aces. I couldn't do that much damage from my backhand side, most winners were forehand winners (same for him). His stamina is a bit of weakness, though.

Good and funny match with good shotmaking -- the way I like it!

EDIT: There were no Desyncs during the match, but the .dmo file is featuring them unfortunately.

[C4iLL]

We're near them, I think we will soon beat them
Keep training ! I'm personally too much engaged in the TS4 tour to be fully dedicated to the TE tour, but it's not your case !

I'm saving the best (players) for the Grand Slams. Watch out in Paris.

I'm personally too much engaged in the TS4 tour to be fully dedicated to the TE tour, but it's not your case !

I'd just give up on that game -- compared to Tennis Elbow it is quite dull. I don't regret selling it all. Merci pour les mots motivants.

Oh, very good 4-6 4-6, Dolgopov should be a tough opponent! Congrats for this match!

Played semifinal against Elias (head to head 0-2 for him). We could't play djoko vs djoko and we choosed Nadal (i)and davydenko (Elias). we played for more or less 1hour and half! Nadal defense was incredible, the first set was 6-3 for Elias, in the second i played with some patience and stay 3-0 0-40 with 3 break points for me but he come back and we went to 3-3.Staying down one set and with this possibility failure(go 4-0)i stay for give up but, i did't want to lose and play point by point, and we arrived to 6-6 and in tiebreak i won the set 7-6. The third was a great battle as the second, with break and controbreak, he played incredible drop shots and came 3-1 but i comeback to 3-3, then we went since 4-4 when i broke him playing more aggressive and with the foots inside the court. So i won 6-4 in my longest match since the begin of the tour , maybe the longest ever!

Eliomelma def. Elias 3/6 7/6 6/4

That was a very long match (1h20), i could have won this if i sustained my play level, but i had some mental flaws, i don't always have the patience, and also i tend to relieve pressure too much and lack some focus when i'm leading by a break (i was leading 3-1 in the third set), when i should be focused and consolidate my advantage. In the opposite Elio is that court crocodile with a lot of patience wich will not give you any free point (well, still some, hopefully, but not much), and in the end, he got rewarded for it He also played more aggressively in the end of the third set after 4-4, this changed the rythm and surprised me.

Unfortunately we couldn't play the djoko/djoko match up, so he picked up Nadal, i really hesistated then, because i know he's a natural defender and this would be difficult if he plays nadal, i should probably have taken Nadal also, as i won last time we had this match up Though i still tried Davy, and it was pretty balanced.

I tried also to play more at the net than usual with davy, and got some success at it, though Davy is not especially good in this area of the game.





Congrats Elio and gl in the Final
