[Likos86321]

Atlanta Tennis Championships (MS) Final
Likos collects another title in expense of Kifkaka 6-0 6-1



Good match overall with nice rallies. Kifkaka is a fighter, he never gave up despite the score and pushed me to get his breaks back.

Im going for vacations next week so no more tourneys for me until the U.S open. I hope i can keep up my form after the holidays but thats going to be a challenge!! See you guys soon!

Winston-Salem Open (MS) QF
Likos scrapes past Zooloo to continue his run for the title 3-6, 6-3, 7-6



One of the biggest matches i ve played so far. Zooloo is becoming a top 3 player in my opinion so dennie, godzin, swifty and mikefare you should be extra cautious when playing the great Zooloo!

The match of course was a blast, i wished i had a recording device to give you guys the pleasure to watch those matches. Its better than the real thing .

P.S: check out zooloo breakpoint conversion ratio! its lethal!

Yes Fabada is a good player. I had a very frustrating game against him lately. First set I played like crap losing 6-0, after that I got to my game won 2nd set 6-2. In the third I come to 1-0, after that I had I weak period and came behind 4-2, I picked myself up again and went to a 5-4 lead, after that he really really stroggled to keep his serve, in which he succeeded, followed by a love game from me, another very hard serv game for him, and after that I tought I'll get him now in ti break, 8 points later I lost ti break 7-1....

Looks like an amazing game m8 I know 'Master' Zooloo has gotten very good, last time I managed to beat him but he already kept me from Wimbledon title WS before, it is 1-1 now, if I can beat BOB-L-EPONGE at US Open I have to play him in the early rounds.. what a stupid draw lol hope I can beat him again

[DennieFR1908]

Well to give you some details about the match against bob, first set I won 7-5, 2nd and 3rd he cheated with his DS Artist Skill using about 50 Drop shots and won those sets 6-1 6-3, after 3rd set I said him to play normal, he listened and won 4rd set with 6-4.. I was still dubbing a little bit if I would continue on the tour but this was a true eye opener again I'm glad I'm quitting.

US OPEN WS Quarterfinal :

Sick match, Rodger7 versus Zooloo, first set was an ace and 3shot rallies fest for Rodger, while i held serve easily with longer rallies but feeling very safe. I luckily won the tiebreak with only 1 minibreak in hands.

Second set Rodger changed his tactics in return games, going for long middle balls to prevent me from attacking and force me to give him some short balls, and got an early break. After that i ve been able to hold my serve but it was way harder than first set, and it was still impossible to find a solution to break his service games.

3rd set was epic, once again he got break early and i thought i could never recover. i kept fighting to defend my serve wich was still very hard (i got to learn how to counter those damn long middle balls , i think he got break points again in later games but i managed to save em. but there was still no way to break him, until 5-4 his serve where i finally found a solution to break him twice in a row and win the match.

GG Rodger, great match with stress, skill, and fair-play

Congratz man great match.

Btw watch out voor BOB-L-EPONGE next round in MS tour not only is he very good, he also cheats since he has a new setup with DS Artist

[I_Zooloo_I]

did he dropshot you to death?

did he dropshot you to death?

First set went normal, I won 7-5, after that he did, yes. There was nothing I could do about it, after the 3rd set I was angry and said him to stop, and strangely he did, so only the 4th set he won fair, altough I was very anoyed and couldn't get to my best game anymore.

same happened to me i won the 1 set then well, he used the defensive dropper , idont mind regular dropshots but ones on the run are annoying

[Murmeltier88]

I am so sad, I lose everything and I always have to fight hard against other players....I dunno what I am doing wrong. I am desperate....

Everytime I play someone here of the ITST-Tour, it is so hard and I don't have easy matches at all.

I think my player is quite good and I have Thomas Madr as a coach but somehow everyone can blow me off the court during rallies....

I just had a match against BrokeAddict and he easily beat me 6/3, 6/3 and I cannot understand why I am not capable of doing well.
I mean, I am the Number 8 of the World in the World Tour mode and I am winning there a lot and I always thought I am good player but now, since I am here I have the feeling I am nothing and eventhough my stats are well evenly distributed I am not in control during rallies...

What can I do beter??
