Wimbledon 2012

[SlicerITST]

Oops, i forgot to update the draw to show the old score again. For now i can only dream of that scoreline.

[Elias]

Elias vs Kyuuji in Quarterfinal, as if in real tennis Federer vs Nadal plays in a Quarter Final!

lol, Nadal doesnt lose 0-6 0-6 0-6 to Federer like i just did to kyuuji

btw i was Federer and he was Djokovic.

That's the second time i lost to him without scoring a game, although i still managed to win a set one time on clay, this still happens. Though i scored 40 points vs 84, even if i could compete in some games, had game points, and had about 2 break points in the whole match for some reason i couldn't score any.

I didn't recorded this, don"t ask





There is obviously room for improvement and that's a good thing.

Congrats Kyuuji and gl in semi

The problem was that djokovic is too strong for federer or that kyuuji is too strong for you? The result is booo...you are virtually the second best player on te!

No issues with the chars really. Kyuuji is just stronger. Like Fox and Otlichno (wich are the second best players in my opinion right now) , he stays very close to his baseline, moving forward every time he can push, when i'm mostly sustaining the rally as i can but overall he is in control of the rally most of the time. I could score more points taking the net but it wasn't enough obviously

[VMoe86]

TWM-Fox (Federer) beats VMoe86 (Murray): 6-1, 6-2, 6-0

There were two problems: First of all my great opponent, who is moving and anticipating so well and timing his shots very good, too. That alone makes him difficult to beat.

Then there is the problem that my mindset is not set on "Defender". I barely could hit through him, balls were coming faster back to me and all I could do was run and push on some points -- sounds accurate regarding Murray.

The third set was strange: I had 7 winners and 11 unforced errors, he had 8 winners and 5 unforced errors. How did I not score a single game there?

The better player has won, good luck at foxhunting to anyone in this half.

[C4iLL]

Beating with such a score Vmoe, is a pretty nice performance.
And Elias, ouch I've just seen, hard score :/

[eliomelma]

Are you ready for an epic battle?
Eliomelma vs San99 6-3 6-7 6-7 6-4 9-11!!!!!!

Incredible match, amazing and congrats to San, last time i win easy in 3 set but today he was better than me. What a game!After wiining first set , i fell that i could win in 3 sets but he raised his level and tha game became a real battle. The main problem for me was his second serve and his crosses to my backhnad that make me crazy!! but i played a great match today, i win 208 vs 200 points, have 3/18 vs 2/5 break points /the key of the match for me ) he saved in third set 2 set points , and one was on my serve, and in third or second set i was a break forward. In third set tiebreak i was 3-1 and serve and in 30 seconds the score was 5-3 for him.But the main regret for me was on 9-9, i had 2 break points that are as match points but i couldn't convert,and this was my end, i lost to much stamina in this game for have break points and in my serve game, my serve was bad. Last thing..damn TURTLE , he cames on match point and i miss the ball, bad ending for this incredible match.But he had the game in his hand , my stamina was too low. i think that if i can convert one of the 2 set points in second set , i would won the match, mostly the one on my serve.
Yes with last stats i win against san99 in 3 set and i could recriminate,but no, his level raised and i lose this time, but i love this new stats, and makes the game incredible better.Good lose,i lost scoring 6 games for set, so i play good,but i must works, last months i play few times and i must return on my level, many guys are coming.....
Good luck in next game San99, you deserved the win, your playstyle was more various than mine today

[C4iLL]

Oh nice surprise
I used to play San99 a lot on the TS4 xbox tour, and he's a true rock in terms of mental. It doesn't surprise me at all he saved 15 break points occasions and won the two tie-breaks.

Against me once, in a three sets match, he lost the first set, and won the two other 7-6 7-6, so welcome at the club Elio lol.
This guy is the king of tie-break I think The fact he has won the match whereas you won more points show he was better on the important points too, which needs mental.

Anyway, no more italian in the draw, the squadra azurra needs to train more, and mangiare meno di Barilla

Right we must train Yes, i win my sets 6-3 6-4 but in the other he was mentally stronger than me and win 7-6 7-6 11-9 , so very strong! And in both tie break he was down 3-1

[Ugadalou]

Lost my QF against TWM-Fox 6-2/6-4/6-4.

The match was more competitive compared to our Eastbourne Final but still Fox was the better player and deserved to win.

Unfortunately the match was oftenly interrupted by the stupid turtles, I actually think it has to do with ManaGames server traffic.

I used a more offensive gameplan that worked in general but with 14 double faults you can't hope to win a competitive match...
Fish's serve animation has changed dramatically and I had trouble tuning in, plus I had to go for my 2nd serves as Fox is a very agressive returner.

We had an interesting discussion with Fox about it as we both think that the animations shouldn't have changed during such an important tournament like Wimbledon.
He had trouble with Fed's new backhand anim too so the changes affected the match's quality.

Stats:

[TWM-Fox]

Congratulations for my opponent. I really think he was better this time. He has taken a lot of risk on 2nd serve which was paid.
He played an intelligent game but i think that the combination of lags and new animations simply went against him.

I told him and i hold my position, keeping old animations would have avoid a large mistake of double fault. And absence of lags would have maybe gave him important points.

New animations are really good but i think they would have been welcome after Wimbly and not during, especially at the stage of quarter final. I've been disturb a bit beginning with Fed backhand cause timing is not the same, but this is nothing compare to Ug who has been disturb hardly with his serves.
When I see the amount of double fault from my opponent, i could not be completely satisfy with this match especially i simply stick to my game.

A bit disappointed that this affected the match and the game quality of Ug. I want to apologize for it, cause i know ITST tour encourage equality, fairplay and fun. Good continuation to Ug, cause this time he showed me is real value today.

[Elias]

Right, we could have waited for the end of wimbly to add new anims and other new stuff, though it's not always easy to please everyone and you may consider as well that people already complained having to update their game too much often, that's why as the roster stats changes were some major change it sounded right to bundle it as a major update (and btw it was announced that this new anims and courts were ready to be included as soon as the roster change were validated).

By the way the doubles faults are probably not only due to a new motion, but moreover to the serve consistencies wich have been considerably decreased, therefore it may be more risky now to use b1 for second serves than it used to be, depending the char used.

[C4iLL]

Otlichno vs C4iLL = 6-7 6-2 6-4, 7-5.

First set was really close, I saved 2 break points occasions, and had no opportunity on his serve, I didn't find solutions to his service.
I win in tie-break with some errors from him.

Second set I got breaked earlier, so I gave up the set to preserve my stamina.

Third set : I was leading all the set with a break in advance, like 4-2, but he came back with 2 doubles faults from me...
So 4-4, then 5-4 for him. I'm serving, but my concentration decreases, I made mistakes, and bim 6-4...

Fourth set : same set as the third. I was leading 4-2, I had opportunities to even lead 5-2 on his serve, but he managed to save his serve.

I don't know how but I **** up my service just after, so 4-3, and then 5-4 for him.
I saved a match point on my service and came back to a great level : 5-5.

On his next service I was hot, it was like 30-30, I could have break him but I failed, so 6-5.
And once again, I **** up my next service despite saving 2 match points with aces... 7-5. End of the match...

I really play incredible points today to get at his level, the match was incredible. Don't know if he has the replay but there's some points that surely deserve some attention

Congratz to him, he's a true figther and has an amazing level.
On my side, this match has made me progress, I've found new tactics to struggle against the very best !
With more train I think I can erase all these stupid mistakes I sometimes do.

[Ugadalou]

Eliomelma vs San99 6-3 6-7 6-7 6-4 9-11

When I played San99 a couple of months ago in the clay season, I was very impressed and expected him to be a strong contender in the tour.
Maybe he had tough draws but it took longer than I expected for him to make his breakthrough,but it looks it's happened beating Elio in a GS QF!

San has amazing court positioning, in fact I think he's one of the best movers around and a very solid net play.
If he is consistent he's going to be a top player for sure.It will be interesting against kyuuji.

Congrats to both of you for this great competitive match.

[kyuuji]

Kyuuji def. San99 6/0 6/0 6/2



Well what to say, I was completely dominating the match, he couldn't do anything, it's the perfect match for me, I was on every ball, tried some volleys, well games went fast, I think he wasn't in his best form, points were so fast, but he tried to wake up in the 3rd set, he managed to get 2 games as he was playing very well, tried some short shots etc..
Anyway, gg and gl for next dude.

Now waiting for Fox or Otlichno and wish to get that title
