NO!

I want you to use your normal setup. I want to see how many games I can take off you. That's the best way to test. I will look for you when I get home.

[Rob ITST]

Played Rob in 3 (? i think) three-game 'matches' today.

He took it unbelievably easy on me because this was like the 2nd time I've ever played somebody online.

I still went down in flames.

1-3

1-3

1-3

I now see what everybody is talking about regarding Rob.

I was very impressed with your movement and shot making. If you can figure out the serve, you'll be good at this game. The returns will take a while to get good at, they're just tough.

than i m before match start the looser. i cant win than.
you ask why?
when we had a close match,or when i loose its a shame for me
when i win it means:oh is clear that your best setup player wins about realitic setup player.

so in both cases i loose

but generelly , you are welcome to play with me

just beat SlicerITST 6-3 7-6 it was great match lots of slice rallys that went on & on lol thank god it was hard court otherwise on clay it could last forever haha, i came to the net frequently & that tactic seemed to pay off!

[Mack2300]

Finally I got my first itst win with my realistic player and quite the scalp it was too with beating Norberto 7-6 7-6 Strange match in that his stats after the match were much better than mine except for the unforced error count where he made around 10 more than I did. In fact pretty much the story of the match was me trying to run down every ball and keep it in play until Norberto would get impatient and go for a risk winner and miss, hence the unforced error count. I imagine my pusher tactics must be annoying to play against

[andman666]

I just won to Brgerlip 6-2 in a 1 setter
Was actually very easy

[djarvik]

Had a match with Cro yesterday night.
I don't remember having so much fan in TS3
Won 4-6 6-3 7-6

I used my Stepanek (see stats above).
Great rallies, volleys.
Thanks Cro for match and fun.

I recommend anyone who is looking for a good, fun match to approach Cro. Bring your realistic setup, you are going to need it.

I came across ghost today in WT. I won 3-4, 3-1, 1-0. It was a close match and produced some great rallies.

Then lost 6-4,4-6, 7-6 to chederer. I had match point in his serve and had him on the run then while on the run he hits a doubel risk shot that goes in, come on, how lucky can one guy be. Then in the tiebreak he just risked every return till he got one in and that was the end of that. Ill never let him get that lucky again. ( i really shouldnt say lucky becasue he did play really well, it was an intense match, he earned it)
One thing you should not do verse chedere is let him hit is double risk forehand down the line, its powerful

One thing i dont understand is, is when u double risk slice low at their feet and they hit with tremendous power how do u do that? My opponents do it to me, but i can never do it to them, i always pop it up, how does this work? Really could use the help on this

Great matches Chederer and Ghost

I played Rob in 3 exhibition sets tonight...

4-6
7-5
4-6

The last match was pretty hilarious because I only won 2 points TOTAL on his serve. One was his only double fault of the match, and the other was a risk return that just happened to stay in. I was really trying my absolute hardest to figure out a way to return his serve and basically tried everything that I know from my limited experience with this game. Nothing worked He also hit some insanely good volleys that I didn't even really know were possible in this game. I don't really know how I managed to win the one set that I did, I had a few kind of lucky passing shots I guess. Anyways, good matches Rob you really impressed me, you should have seen my face when you hit some of the volleys you hit, I honestly couldn't help but laugh

man....everytime we play coolhand its sooo close.....i always seem to get the heart palputations and the sweaty palms...i always have to hit that one extra shot...i was pretty lucky on that risk shot on the run though.....but, i guess i could say thats my signature shot---or forehand down the line.....i still think as of today you are a better player than i am on the consistency part.....and an answer on your slice at the feet question:#1 you have to wait on the ball an extra half second or get in better position joesixtoe BASHES my slices(so therefore i am scared to hit a slice against him)or you have to back up a little either way you have to wait a little longer before you release the button or you will "just pop it up" then you can say GOODBYE point!!! hope to play you again soon(not in a tourney of course)

It seems that when me and chederer play, we always bring out the best in each other. Ive never had to work hard so hard to hit a winner and chederer your groundstrokes are very powerful. I love playing with you, the the mathces are always tight and there are those one or two impotant points that seem to last the longest. We play similar styles so the rallies are definately full power rallies with both of us having to hit more than one winner to get the point.

[Coolhand Texas]

Well i played Mack, in probably one of his last TS3 matched for a while. He won 1-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (8. Mack played a wonderful match. He played with a realistic setup and had trouble early on with timing but got it back in second and third set. He hit 5 aces and 49 winners with 102 points. My mistake was getting into crosscourt rallies with him, bad misake.

I really hope Mack will come back after a short break.
Great match Mack, its nice to go out on a win

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

i had also 2 Nice matches today with mack. (cant remember results) .
i hope really mack played forward itst.
mack ,make your way!! your own way to feel good
you are welcome

[Coolhand Texas]

I played with a new sampras, which nobody wants to play. He has powerful sreve, with upgraded BH and FH. He has power of course. No way to beat this guy. he returns your serve perfectly and then seves perfectly, hope you dont get him, your screwed.

I lost 6-7, 6-7. He risk in the rallies and rarely misses, has no weak wing.
How do you get back a serve when he is hitting 139 MPH pretty consostantly?

I think Rob is the man to beat now, he is now my pick for Roland Garros. come on Rob, win it all

The only thing i cant take fromt he match is i tied him with aces, with 4 and made less than 5 unforced errors, but i still lost.

[Rob ITST]

has no weak wing.

I have 60 on backhand with 80 power. I just waited for the right chances and got lucky on a lot of risks. And for some reason if my character is named Sampras, I hit RT+LT forehands with good consistency (I think I missed 1) - must be a mental thing. The clay kind of helps me too - it gives me more time to set up.
