I feel I stole that match, but great game! I was pretty much out of options on your serve. Had to L2 or R2+L2 on returns to get into the point cause you were killing me :lol: Im sure you will be beating the best if you keep on playing like that.

coke has upped his game with Thompson. He hits them with a lot more power now. Still best passing shots ever.

He beat my Rogers with little trouble 6-3, 6-0. My excuse for the 2nd set, my food was ready and it was getting cold so wanted to wrap it up quick :mrgreen:

lost to nitoflament 6-7 4-6
even tho he won in straight sets the match was almost a hour long!!!

1 set:
we hold for a while and then he breaks me then i break back and take it to the tiebreak in which i couldnt return his serve as well as i was :cry:

2 nd set; i start off strong by putting pressure on his serve and ill tell ya that one game was 10 minutes long but he won it then broke me afterwords then i had another chance to break but didn't then the last game i had a chance to break but he saves them with a risk shot down the line amazing stuff in that match

Played alex13090 and was winning 7-6 5-5
but then it froze ( i HATE PSNNNN)
first set im surprised he didnt break me like usual LOL and i somehow won the set but he got ever 16 aces :shock:.
i played my normal l2 game and kept putting deep shots back into the court and he did so to ughhh so it was a real battle.
sorry we didnt get to finish because psn likes to freeze on the best points :(

Yea I couldn't do much on your out wide serves, too good. The only way to have possibly converted one of the break points would have been a double trigger return. All my L2 returns gave you no trouble whatsoever. U've definetely got one of the best defences out there

Close one guys , yes there is nothing worse than the network freezing up on u like that , and it has been pretty bad of late ive noticed:(

I had a good match with my new SIM character against MarlonBrando , he won 61 36 63 , i really need to work on my sim technique but was a fun match and he is really good , ive been knocked out of both my sim and 90 40 tournaments so got plenty of time to practice so feel free to ask me for a match lol :)

I've been taking more beatings lately.. My timing's deserted me and I've forgotten how to volley.

First I was Lightman vs marlonbrando's House. One sided contest 6-1, 6-3 to him.

Then it was Jansen Vs Jansen, this was fun but I lost again 6-3, 6-4. Someone must have gone through the same phase as me, when you've just lost your timing.. How do I get out of this?! :(

I'm going through a similar thing, a lack of confidence has made me tentative, this means I'm too safe and get walloped, it's a vicious circle :cry: :cry: Saying that I'm now going to try and take a new approach and try and be much more aggressive and hopefully I will hit my way out of trouble.....eventually.

Sound & Fedfan: I often find thats because of lack of practise. Against players here you have to be hitting normal shots on the "sweet spot" almost everyime, and I have more and more trouble doing that these days as I've cut down my playing time. I suggest going online 15 minutes before an ITST match and warming up with someone. Gets you "in the zone" :lol:

Don't let lack of confidence get you down. Go for your shots you're both great players.

I played lonamer again and lost again. This time it was even worse because he was using sim I was using reg. I managed to break him in first set then got broke twice. In second set he managed to break me but we started to get weird lag at 3-3 40-40 on my serve I managed to hold but god I played like shit from then on my movement was just screwed. Thank god it was exhibition otherwise I would've raged haha.

Also with challenger events are people below a certain rank only allowed? Because otherwise it silly if top guys can just come into challenge events and dominate.
