Big thx to swifty for having so much fun today...

[swifty512]

your a funny guy considering i aced you 10 times (most of which were down the middle) yet none of them showed up.....and then the big gaps in the score line would should show that i didnt just serve out wide...and finally we played for over an hour and only 2 mins of out wide serves......i think just like your plan to win our semi-final, this video failed to prove your point....I would suggest instead of making videos, you should spend time on the practice court so that MAYBE one day, you can join the Grand Slam Champions club

[Burna747]

First we played exact an hour not more. Second this is only a small collection of your outwide services. You played maaaany more but not every worked for you. Third how many direct points you can see in that video? 18? ...+10 aces + all the other direct winners after your service. So you made round about 35 - 40 points with or direct after your service. And overall you only made 12 points more in the whole match. If i have to play like you to win a grand slam....no thank you i am happy with the semi final. And it is not only the outwide service. It is - outwide service - step in - winner....outwide service - step in - winner...and that the whole time...ugly but do your thing and be happy with that.

[swifty512]

Lol thats the dumbest thing I ever read....your saying i only won 12 points on your serve LOL

Stop complaining, its pathetic! if you dont want me to step in on my serve, dont give me a shorter ball then!!!!!! Fix your game, before you cry about mine.

The end.

[Burna747]

read correct i never said you made only 12 points on my serve. but without your wired service you would never made 12 points more in this match. Never! if i return long you make a step in and hit a winner. if i return short you make 3 steps in and hit a winner. if i return longline you make a sidestep and hit a winner. how can i improve my play against that if you are the only one!!! on the tour who can do that? wired and still ugly. end

[swifty512]

lol thanks for the compliment..

[Burna747]

youre welcome

OMG!!! Pure arrogance.

if you dont want me to step in on my serve, dont give me a shorter ball then!!!!!!

Stop acting like you are playing anything close to realistic. You step into no mans land after virtually every slow out wide serve, if its deep you hit it out of the air, if its short you take two steps up, wash rinse repeat. Now the reason why you can do this is because no one can really choose how to return in terms of pace and placement. You take full advantage of this in an unrealistic way. It was comical to watch you attempt this in topspin 3 But in that game every player had complete control of how they wanted to return, and every cheese serve first shot tactic could be SHREDDED!!!

If your going to lie...make it a good one...Seeing as I have never played you at ts3 considering i played it on ps3 and then VERY briefly on the xbox.

And yes i am arrogant, whats your point?

And is it unrealistic to serve and then step in after a serve out wide??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQK_m3TJW3s

Well your memory is shotty. In your "brief" time on Xbox we did play on the world tour a few times. I remember you rarely risk shotted while I did it frequently.

And is it unrealistic to serve and then step in after a serve out wide??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQK_m3TJW3s

I'm glad you showed this...see how federer waits til he sees djokivic is going to hit a weak return, then he steps into no mans land and takes the ball out of the air. You step in without even checking to see what the return is because you know the game forces weak returns 90% of the time on slow out wide serves. No need to check how they return when it's like that.

[swifty512]

nope, im anticipating a weak return hence why i step up straight away so that i can get higher up the court...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt...its a risk that I take and will always take. deal with it

[swifty512]

and the game does not force you to do weak returns...you just clearly aint good at it

[BrushedBigJJ]

Very cleverly said. Technically it doesn't force weak returns. But on a zero power serve its very difficult to get your player to hit the return how they are suppose to which is why they are banned. Slow out wide serves are just one notch up from zero power serves. In real life slow serves like that you can choose to punish them, and then your true "anticipation" skill would show through.

[swifty512]

Well considering i dont do "slow" slice serves and I also use power serves out wide, i think my tactics are perfectly fine.

Wait...I thought this was a friendly thread...? Burna was showcasing what he thought was a fantastic semi and it's turned into this?? WTF?
