Weird Rituals or Supersitions

Postby BluudyEEfingaz » Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:18

Okay so we've all heard about players like Nadal or Azarenka having weird rituals or superstions...what are some rituals here? Like, you ALWAYS have to serve first in the match or return serve, serve outwide or down the T the first point...etc. Also I'm wondering how many players use the same player throughout an entire tournament. I don't have many rituals...although if I lose a match in one outfit I will change and I usually use the same player for the whole tournament. How about everyone else?

I make a cup of tea and have a fag just be4 a game.

I always use the same player for a tournament.

I like 2 serve first but that means being the host.

I think you have to keep with the same player for a tournament don't you?

A while back when I was new to ITST, a guy here complained I was being cheesy by tram serving, then proceded to change their player when we had a rematch, apparantly this isn't allowed.

I created my female player in November and have stuck with her till now, as I don't think with all the chopping and changing of set-ups people do, that you can truly get the max out of any of them, much better to get used to your player I feel.

I think that rule applies only when you start a match using one player. You can not change after seeing someone's setup. I do think playing with Hingis has helped my Sharapova's net game. :wink:

Before every match, my ritual is always the same : doing some private things with my girlfriend :lol:

When she's not there... I loose the match just after. You can see that she's not really present recently :lol: :lol:

If I play against you one day, be sure that I'll be as agressive as Lamotta on the court !

ps : Hope she's actually not doing things with the animals you have in your profile picture :cry:

I have something similar. In every TS game im very loyal to my first character. I dont even mind having to going all out because it is weaker then the prevailing characters on the tour.
