Had Sim Exhibition with coke, he prevailed 7-6, 7-6. I was Bishop, he was Thompson. Really close match. First set he broke immediately going 2-0 up, but I managed to break back immediately too to go 2-2. Lots of break opporutnities, but both of us managed to dig deep and save the break points.

Both tie-break was only 1 or 2 mini breaks in it.

Just lost to Josenylund 6-2 6-4 in a Cannon vs Cannon match. I had 5 break points when we were 4-4 and I could've served the set out :evil:! I've given up on being safe and trying not to risk but honestly it's made me worse off, 2 of the 5 break point chances were wasted on dumb return errors. And when he was up 5-4 he began returning really well and I couldn't keep up with him at all.

lost a couple of time by maximo.he used bashmakov both time and I used bucci and lopez.he won easily.
to me,it's very hard to play with him.his 90sv+90pw make him unbreakable for my return...on my serve,rallies are very fighted..he is a good defender too.
:?? I need more practice with u maximo!!!

i know it petrelli, if u don´t return well with bashmakov is dificult win the point, we will practice, i liked play with u.

i have played too against josenylund, i won 6-3, 7-6, but i think that he had a problem with his controller, i´m not good enough for beat him yet.

Just played maximo and i lost 6-4, 6-4. I had trouble breaking his serve, on the baseline I just felt overpowered, however at the net i had the advantage.

1st set was nearly equal, he dominated his servegames with his serve and baseline play, I held my own with tricy serves and volleys. One break was sufficient for him to win the 1st set.

In his opening game in the 2nd set i managed to break him, but he immediately broke back and made the deciding break at 4-4. That was a huge dissapointment for me, especially because i had trouble holding serve, i couldn't use my usual strategy. And to break the bashmokav serve is rarther difficult!

GG maximo, we play again soon aye :wink:

you have to extend the rallies against bashmakov....if the points end quickly they will usually end up in Bashmakov's favor

I found the same when using Bashmakov. I had to end points in 1-2 shots or I would lose them. But he's also good at ending them in 1-2 shots.

Very much like a typical big guy with powerful strokes.

Just beat Apathetically in a one set practice match 7-6 (5) He was Lopez I was Cannon. Pretty close match up until the tiebreak at 5-5 on his serve I took a risk and it went in and I served it out.

Lost to Josenyland 6-4 6-7 6-2, we were both Cannon, happy to see the gap between me and the top players is closing in a bit, even though the second set was a bit of a fluke :lol:. I was able to break him when he was serving for the match at 5-4 and the tiebreak came and I won it. Throughout the third I had trouble holding my serve and I had chances on his serve but he was too good and I couldn't convert them. Very fun match!

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm :P

I beat petrelli 6-3 6-2 today, he was Nakamura and i was Tompson

I broke immediately and went up 3-0, but after that it got closer but i was comfortable in my lead the whole set and served it out.
In the first game of the second set I got 15-40, he went for his shots and made them and held. In his next service game i got 0-40 but again he made some huge shots and saved the b.p. and held, at 2-2 i got 0-40 again but this time i broke. I then broke again and served at 5-2, when he got 0-30, i made it 40-30 but got his first b.p but i saved it and held.

Some stats
Me 80 1st serve win % petrelli 54
Me 35 winners petrelli 25
Me 9 Unforced errors petrelli 10
Me 3/9 b.p petrelli 0/1
