Played miami 09 in a match me using my new serve and volley player with 90 serve and volley. It was very serve dominated mainly because id hit a 140mph serve and have a easy volley lol and miami kept me pinned to the baseline mostly on his service games. we had two tiebreaks and i got some good returns in and took them with a couple of minibreaks 7-6 7-6 and i also equalled my ace record of 10. There was some great shot making miami made some great passes and lobs and i had to make some tough volleys count to win.

yeah but...heck, now i suck on ps3

i'm forced to play with a 360 layout now...so full speed...while many people on ps3 still loves 40 or 50 speed (actually, me included, but i felt like i was playing with a brick...my x360 character flies in comparison!)

Well i gave sim another try, and i still hate it. I do not like limiting stats. I lost to chederer 6-7, 6-7. I could keep my own on my serve, but in the tiebreaks all he had to do was to get one double trigger risk in to take it. I actually had more points than him and was suprised at that. I was 2 for 12 on breal points and that killed me. Probably because he alwasy serves outwide when he is in trouble. I hit more winners than him at 41 to 26.

Even thoug i dont like playing sim, we did have some great rallies. As i did my best to stay in most of them. Funny thing about this match was nobody could be consistent off serve it was all return.

Great match, chederer. i hope to get u in a 90 40 match. :twisted:

I had two good matches with my two good friends on this tour last night, Burgrflipr and Mathrebel , I lost my first one but won the second , but i am blaming Burgrflipr for my win over Mathrebel

hehe , i just needed to win a match at last !

I did get lucky over Mathrebel and i realise that esp today when i notice he won 6 0 6 0 in his match

Played 3 matches against Djarvik - great matches as always - Djarvik was playing with his SIM char, I was using my 90/90/90/90 char in the 1st match, and my SIM char (power90, speed80, for90, back75, volley40, serve50, return70, stamina65) in match 2 and 3.

I won match1 7-6,6-4, match2 6-7,7-6,6-4, match3 6-4,7-6 - I didn't expect to win the matches using my SIM char, as I played only 2 matches with a SIM char before - but I have to say, that I couldn't see so much difference to playing with my usual char (I only had to take a bit more risk on my backhand to score points).

i decided to give sim one more try with a 5 set with chederer. I lost 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 6-7. I was pissed. I dont understand i always win more points. this time i was 166 to 157. I always win more points but lose the match. I had match point in the rallie in the last set but he short sliced, and won the point. I had 64 winners to 21 errors. he had 51 and 37.

I am also confuse on how i have more winners, less unforced errors, and more total points, but still lost the match. Could someone please explain?

This was a great match, but i think nonriskers have disadvantages when playing sim, does anyone else agree?

i just won an epic match 3-6 7-5 6-3 against TWM-Fox.
The first 3 games saw long rallies with amazing winners, serving at 1-2 he got to 15-40 on my serve, i saved 1 b.p but he took the other. At 4-2 i got to 0-30 on his serve and again at 5-3 but both times he won 4 points in a row to hold, he won 5 more points than me in 1st.
In the second we both held easily until him serving at 4-5, i got to duece and got like 2 set points but he saved them both and held. Then at 5-6 i got to 15-40 but again he saved and got to advantage, but i fought to gain another set point/break point and took it for 7-5, i won like 9 more points that set.
3rd set wasnt as close, i was holding easily and getting to many duec's on his. I got some B.P at like 2-3 but he saved them, then at 3-4 i finally took my break point for 5-3 and served it out to 30.
Stats
1st serve In Me 71% Him 77%
Won on 1st Me 85% Him 70%
Won on 2nd Me 75% Him 58%
Aces Me 5 Him 1 Double Faults Me 1 Him 4
Winners Me 42 Him 51 Unforced Errors Me 4 Him12
Break Points won Me 2/8 Him 1/2
Points won Me 93 Him 77

You really want somebody to explain how you can have more winners and less unforced errors and still lose the match? :roll:

Dude that is the oldest story in the book, we have all lost matches like that, it's called "your opponent won the important points"

Was like Nadal-Djokovic yesterday.... Djokovic hit more winners and less errors and hit way more Aces.... still came up short tho.
