Open de Nice Cote d Azur (MSS)
Likos defeats Tonedawg
7-6(3), 7-6(0) Cannon Vs Gray
1st set and 2nd set: Very similar sets with loads of rallies, cause teranga tennis court its very slow(hell i think its the slowest) and it was too hard to hit a winner. Both of us were putting pressure to each other serves(mostly to 30, sometimes deuce)
1st set tiebreak: Again rallies in tiebreak with each of us exchanging a lot of balls. The key to my success was some bh, fh down the line risks which brought me the 1st set.
2nd set tiebreak: I started very aggresively and risk my return to the opposite side(outwide serve and i l2+r2) thus getting the first mini break. Then all came naturally, as i was having lots of momentum. in the last point we had some crazy battle in the net and after 4-5 shots i managed to get it.
Its always a pleasure tonedawg, and you are one of the fairest players here on ITST.
