The Exhibition Thread

[Rob ITST]

....thank you Rob! You took the bait Now I know who should I talk to about returning your serve ohhhaahhhh

Me and Joe have a deal: He doesn't tell anyone how to return my serve, and I don't give all of his opponents walkovers in ITST tournaments.

I had an exhibition match with Anil. a day ago. I won 7-6 1-6 7-6.

Wonderful match! Lots of rallies, I even hit a number of winning volleys and drop shots!

Anil. is scary, in the second set he was returning all of my serves and if you played me, you know I am a decent server and mix well.
That was the only weakness of Anil's game before, and now it is gone!

Even thou I won, it was because of a 1-2 important points in tie break, most of the match I was holding on.

I got to give it to you Anil, you have the most effective attacking game on the tour, and by far the most consistent attacking game. Not complete game, not verity - but just shear baseline painting! A very solid server and now, a good returner. Add to that a solid movement and defense.

I think you should stop playing, you becoming just plain unfair.


Good stuff dude!

I've decided im never going to play Anil ever again on TS3.......

I want to keep my winning record against him
(excluding ITST matches)

coolhand texas and i played the other day and i won 6-2, 6-3.....it was a good match

I've just played my best match so far. It was against SoundfSilence.

He was playing his Agassi character, I was playing my John Doe baseliner character (not serve&volleying for a change). Both realistic setups (FH/BH/Power 80/80/80 vs 90/70/75 and both decent speed and stamina).

I took a quick 5-0 lead (well... 2nd game took ages) but then he really upped his game and fought back to 5-3 before I took the set 6-3.

Then in the 2nd set I took an early break, but halfway the set I lost my serve. It ended up in a tiebreak (after him having a setpoint on 5-6, my serve), in which SoundfSilence took a 6-2 lead, but somehow I managed to comeback to 6-6, only to go behind 6-7 again. Then took the point to make it 7-7.
In the next rally I slightly had the upperhand, but with a magnificent forehand he took the point to get his 7th setpoint. Again he didn't convert it. And then I went on to take the set and the match 6-3 7-6(8.)

Great fun, lots of rallies, the balls just kept coming back as we both only occassionally used risk.
Serve-percentages were even realistic, both between 50-70%.

Really great fun to play with those setups!

BTW - there is a case of beer (or a nice bottle of wine) for anyone who can give Rob a "Bagel"!

Anyone want to split a case of beer?

[TomBs]

That attitude will take you far

well ive found that in real tennis it is important to be confident, so why not on this tour.....haha

when i go into a match thinking im the underdog on ts3 i play stupid.....

i dont mean to come off as cocky, just confident .....

and i know that im not close to being the best, but u never know wat practice can do, especially on topspin 3
