ITST

How did you find out about ITST?
Playing network games on TE 2013, I kept seeing ITST and I was wondering what it was. Googled it and here I am!

Why did you join ITST?
After googling and finding out what ITST was, I loved the idea and thought it was amazing to have the opportunity to play real online tournaments with fellow gamers/tennis fans from around the world.

GAMING

Story behind your Gamertag: I came up with a random Swedish sounding name for fun. There's not much thought behind it.

How many hours do you usually spend playing video games in average and what game you are currently enjoying most:
I am a tennis fan first and a gamer second, so the only game I play at the moment is Tennis Elbow 2013.

After a tough loss, have you ever broken a gamepad, cursed God or beat your sibling: I have broken a few siblings.

PROFESSIONAL TENNIS

Favorite ATP player (current): Roger Federer, Juan Martin Del Potro and Dominic Thiem

Favorite ATP player (all-time): Roger Federer and Xavier Malisse (who made me fall in love with tennis in the first place)

Favorite WTA player (current): Serena Williams, because it's a pleasure to be able to witness her rewrite tennis history. And Timea Bacsinszky.

Favorite WTA player (all-time): 3-way tie between Lindsay Davenport, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva.

Federer or Nadal: Who's Nadal?

Favorite tournament and surface: I would have to say the Australian Open, because it's the first slam of the season and I get excited like a kid in a candy store. Also, being from Canada, the AO takes place during the second coldest month of the year over here. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching tennis players sweat it out in 40 degree heat while I'm sitting on my couch, wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of hot tea, while it's minus 40 outside.

Favorite surface would have to be hard, as it's the only surface I've ever played on. I've played on green clay once or twice. I'd love to play on grass someday.

Greetings all!

Kontrah here, reporting for duty.

How did you find out about ITST?
From the Tennis Elbow game lobby.

Why did you join ITST?
The base game always bothered me because of the ball physics. They're kind of ridiculous. I played for awhile because it was the closest thing I could get since Virtua Tennis 4 (lol) shut down. As a real tennis player, ITST fills the void during the winter months (I don't play indoors), it's damn near perfect. I can never go back to the base game!

GAMING

Story behind your Gamertag:
Contra was a phenomenally difficult 2D shooter/platformer from the SNES days. Also a word meaning "against" or "opposite". My name's a spin on that. It reflects my love of very difficult or challenging games, and the facts of life involving some kind of struggle.

How many hours do you usually spend playing video games in average and what game you are currently enjoying most:
10-15 hours a week. I split my time between ITST (when I can find a game) and StarCraft II.

After a tough loss, have you ever broken a gamepad, cursed God or beat your sibling:
No, because I don't have a gamepad, or a sibling, and I blame myself for losses - not anyone else!

Federer or Nadal: I hate having to answer this question! They're both animals. I favor Rog but you have to admit there were periods when he could not beat Nadal.

Favorite tournament and surface: Might be the Laver Cup at this rate! Hard Court.
