I must say that back in the day, ITST wasn't like this, every match win or lose was such a great experience. I remember last year I played DJ in the Q's of the french open or something like at and I took the 1st 2 sets but he came back and beat me, that was a match that i'll never forget... such fun, and pure simulation of tennis. This was my 2nd match with marlon and the 1st set it was clean tennis, and I won easily. The 2nd set however, it was like he got disparate...he risked sliced my serves, all risk during rallies, I had like 3 break points on his serve in the 2nd set and each one was saved by timely drop shots that were executed when he was playing defense behind the baseline. I dont mind losing, but I want it to be because I was out rallied, lets construct points, not because of silly shots.....I hit a deep baseline shot and he was stumbling to get to the ball, and his back was turned to me and he hit a drop shot to win the point, am I to applaud thatSo many are concerned on winning and being in the 10 ten, but at what cost? Why is sportsmanship being thrown out of the window? I give props to those players who put up with all the cheesy players on the tour because I don't have the patience for it

Maximo, why would you even play one friendly w/ this guy if he plays like that? You're too nice. I'd rather punch myself in the balls 10 times before I waste my time playing w/ risk slicers & dropshotters.
But maybe he doesn't know. I'm sure if enough people told him nicely that its not considered fair, then hed stop. If he doesn't, then its back to punching the balls.
