No news about Wimbledon ?

Postby C4iLL » Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:50

What isn't there any news about the games already played at Wimbledon ??
On the Xbox tour, we can see 2 matchs played in 5 sets, it would be fun to have reports... It was like that on the TS1 tour !

Man, the only thing that really surprised me was the big number of walkovers and players retiring during the match. Very disturbing...

I´m not a great player and I´ve lost my 3 previous matches, but I don´t think about quiting just because I´m losing the match. Indeed, I belive to face good players is the only way to improve my game.

So, seriouly, what´s the point to subscribe in the tournament if you´re not gonna play it?

Totally agree. Some people's egos cannot handle it.

Hum i agree with you, but that's not really the subject of the topic ;)
I just talk about the "Roleplay" aspect of ITST, personaly i feel it's important to make it more realistic !

Yeah, you´re right. I think I didn´t use the right place to do that.

OMG i won my Wimbledon first round match in a 5th set tiebreaker. It was EPIC!!! 12-10 in the tiebreaker i believe. He saved like 6 match points earlier in the set at 6-5 and we both saved a lot in the 5th set tiebreaker! we are both S&V and it was back and forth the whole match. I took a picture of the statistics. They're pretty sick. Should i send them to the Wimbledon host?

And it would be cool to have round by round coverage since its not practical to do day by day coverage. Like, once a whole round is complete have a news report on that round. But thats probably a major time commitment. The news reports are probably my favorite aspect about ITST :)

All,
Completely agree with all your comments - the news team and I are doing exactly that, news surrounding thrilling matches and upsets! In theory yes it would be great to have round by round analysis but in practice yes too time consuming.
We are pleased you like the news articles, we have fun doing them that's for sure. Keep a look out on the news board 8)
