Played an exo with Holla Itz Mike tonight and i won 7-6, 7-6. It was a good match and he is a great server but i was able to use my returns to get breaks in the tiebreaks.

Played the most even match I ever had against Picachu tonight. He had 24 winners and 15 errors, I had 26 winners and 14 errors. One weird stat in the match was that each of our percentage of points won on 1st serves was identical to the percent won on 2nd serves. I've never seen that from one player, let alone both players.

He's definitely the best returner imo, giving me almost no easy volleys, and zero aces - and that was with me serving about as well as I possibly can.

And still straight-setted me. :D
I was pretty happy to see you hitting no ace, even though I did not get one break point at all.
I probably went too much on my 2nd serve. :lol:

I gots a big dilemma, i dunno wether to use my SV'er or my attacking baseliner for the grass season. I'd much rather use my SV'er but its so hard to play with factors such as lag and against big players i'll probably lose, so dunno wether to use him for early rounds and smaller tournaments then switch.

well if i were doing the grass season i'd say use S and V, but im not so
i'd say use baseliner, maybe play 2 wimbledon warm up tourneys, 1 with serve and volley the other baseliner and see which is better for wimbledon :wink:

Thats true i have my sim-based SV and My out and out SV player, the Out and out one i think lost 6-2 6-2 to you? But lag was playing a part even u missed a lot of easy volleys in that game, and when it worked i was having some success even on the clay. I need more practice with him against big names i thinks.

Played Rob in a clay court match. I won 7-6, 6-7, 7-6. It was a very close match. Rob did have 6 break points which i defended off, but i did not get a chance to break and had to rely on the tiebreak. Total points was me, 124 and Rob, 123. He had 20 more winners than me at 56 but i had less errors and he ahd 3 more aces at 6.

I'm still trying to figure out how you had more total points. Like you said, 6 break point to 0, 20 more winners, 8 more errors, 3 more aces, and a higher win percentage on 1st and 2nd serves. I guess you had more 40-0 games, and I had more 40-30 and deuce games.

1 return in the 3rd set tiebreak was the biggest difference though - you won 1 point on my serve, I won none on yours. :(

I have just played against callofduty44 and lost 3-6 4-6. Won 7 games, although i haven't played a single online match in the last 8-9 months. Pretty good, don't you think?

Ill be honest, i guessed outsides serve and got lucky and was able to hit a crosscourt return winner, that was all a guessing game. Of course your serve is soo good, i just have to guess.

About the total points, i have no idea what happened, i'm pretty sure that you even had more 40-0 games. Maybe i forced more errors.

Had another match with Rob last night and won 6-7, 7-6, 7-6.
It was another tight match with just a couple of returns deciding the outcome.

Played against Hamburgerboy last night at the WT. Terrific match! I played some of the funniest rallies ever.


We should play again man!

Lately I've been having real great matches with swifty.
Since we play so differently, you can always count on us to offer great rallies. I guess that happens when both of us have mediocre serve and great return. :lol:
Anyway, I wish I could record some of the rallies we had. It's nice to see how we grow so much as players. :D
