Sim-Pro Mixer Exhibition Test Tournament

I most likely won't bagel you - I just don't have the ground game to break serve consistently.

And yes, it's Rob ITST. My friends list was full, but I deleted someone.

The closest match I had was with Chederer, lost 6-1 6-4, reason: He wasn't overly aggressive like emate, anil, djarvik, and rob. Although the worst match I had would have to be with djarvik. Emate and anil simply muscled me off. Chederer was aggressive, but not as aggressive as emate or anil, so I could handle him to some extent. Rob, truthfully I felt like you were being "cheesy", lol, those serves are unreturnable. Your sampras should be banned from ITST. Djarvik beat me in a way that was so painful. I mean he muscled me off every now and then, but he beat me in a very belittlling way. All that slicing and bringing me in, I mean it was very demeaning. I would rather be rushed and muscled off than to go through what djarvik did. You made me so angry djarvik, lol. I don't care if I lose, but the way you did it was very bad, lol. You see you play the way I envision myself playing, so I felt like I was losing to a better version of me.

Lol, so this is how you guys welcome a new member, by serving him bagels? sigh. Anyway I'll mod my nadal tomorrow. It's not like it will make a difference anyway. I still need a ton of practice.

Hrm, I never thought I would be described as muscling anybody around, especially with 50 power... but I get what you mean. The players you mentioned are pretty much my favorite ITST guys to play against, so you're starting out against some of the more interesting game styles. All big supporters of the sim setups as well(maybe that's why you wanted to play them).

And Djarvik does that to everyone... He hits very few amazing winners, but whenever I play him I'm always running the wrong way or watching a fairly slow ball land exactly where I didn't want it. Really pisses me off sometimes too, but I mean that in a good way.

Don't know what to say about Rob's serve... I just guess a direction most of the time, and even when I'm right I still lose half of those points.

Played a match with Rob, and his baseliner sim tonight. I was able to win 6-7, 6-2, 6-4. He was using a new serve motion, different from his S&V, so i think that affected him, especially once we both got tired after the first set.

Rob may be know for his huge serve, but he has one heck of a return. There was not many free points off my serve today, had to work for all of the points. He broke early in the first set, but i broke back and he took the tiebreak. The second set, i got more returns back, and he finally made some errors, he played the first set perfect. The third, i got 1 break and that was enough.

I would say that i was proud to out ace him, but he was using a new serve, so its not the same ( 9 - 5)

I would post this in the exhibition thread, but im trying to beat that record :lol:

I think we should use stick serves only. Wouold be good.

So there won't be 90+ first serves in always?

good match hawkeye.....i like your set-up....its actually the most realistic set-up i have ever seen....for you just getting this game last week you are pretty good man.....

rob's serve is not cheesy at all---he just basically has the best serve of all time on ITST---that is his strength---you can not bash our #1 server on ITST---somewhat disrespectful----and hawkeye i very much enjoyed our match----you did not mention our first match---where i won 6-1 6-2....the second match i was trying to make you realize you dont have to risk every time....you just have to use LT with a low power guy like that---do not use the RT.....and you will get the hang of it soon....but, you definitely have to be more agressive off the ground....i did not play your karlovic guy.....but, i very much enjoyed the 2 matches. your nadal is very balanced....but you need more of a strength...nadal has a much better fh than 75...and has more power than 71...id say bump up the power a bit and the forehand as well and drop the stamina down to say 70 or something like that

OVERALL 75

by **Chederer** » Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:28

i think hawkeyes stats were something like this

fh75
bh69
srv60
ret70
vol50
pwr71
spd83
stm82....correct me if im wrong.....but, up the fh and pwr and drop the stm and he should be fine...something like this hawkeye

fh82
bh69
srv50
ret70
vol50
pwr79
spd90
stm70....try that hawkeye....you will see a big difference you still have plenty of stamina you will have a better fh, lesser serve a little more power and definitely you will have more speed

There are 6 people who Voted: Bad, Very Bad and I don't like SIM rules.
It would be nice if they would speak up. Everyone was asked to vote after they play SIM matches, so the people who voted must of experienced something they didn't like, what was that guys?

19 votes 13 matches played. :roll:

...now who is a smart *** and votes against or for something without experiencing it?.....people, that is how we vote for president in America, surely ITST SIM rules deserve more attention and discussions then some lazy presidential election! ...show some respect dammit!

by **Chederer** » Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:36

GOA probably voted against it...and he has never played the sim-pro

by **djarvik** » Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:39

GOA probably voted "I don't like SIM rules. " ....which is fine with me.

I am more curious of "Bad", "Very Bad".

People who voted, explain why please.
