DarkPaladin87 (Lopez) defeats patko7 (Nakamura) 6-4 6-4

1st set was very close, i managed to break patko's difficult serve once, he hits the lines very nice. I faced no BP's on my serve, my volleys were also spot on during the match.

2nd set was more interesting as patko returned much better than in the 1st set. However i broke his serve immediately in his opening game but at 2-1 he broke back due to great baselineplay and smart returning. Then at 4-4 i got to deuce and broke him eventually via a cross topspin FH, and i could serve it out on my next servegame.

tone:
I dunno if thats what its called in english, in france its university, or "faculté"which we all call fac. I always chuckle when I hear that . (I'm that mature)

Coke4(Tompson) def AndyMachine(Bashkamov) 6-2 1-6 6-4
1st Set-I broke straight away and held for 2-0, i then broke and held again for 5-1, he held then i served it out.
2nd Set-We both held for 1-1, then with me serving at 1-2 he got 0-40, i saved 2 bp but he broke to 30. He broke again to love at 1-4 and served it out easily.
3rd Set-After a tough opening game in which i saved bp, i then broke and held for 3-0, with me serving at 5-3 he got 30-40 and broke, but at 4-5 i broke him for the match to 30 when he hit a slice wide.

I played more defensively than usual and i only attacked when the time was right, I also still feel that Bashkamov is wayyy to strong

Was an interesting match , very up and down and nothing felt consistent, but congratz Coke

Brisbane-brgerflipr v. Apathetically
alex13090 v. voldermortlord

Doha- Petrelli v. Darkpaladin

Brisbane-Brgerflipr v. alex

Doha:

Very tough call between jose and djarvik. I'm gonna go with jose, he's really mastered his gray. Those returns against rogers 52 serve will hurt.

Final: Jose vs Coke

Brisbane: Another tough call, maximo is improving every time we play, and I havn't played a full match(or set) with brger in ages so its hard to evaluate how good he is right now in sim. Whoever wins i think it will be a close match.
If i get past voldemorts bashma i'll be happy

Yea man, sorry about that Alex. I think I am the worst person to play friendlies with because I always have to go. Apologies to you and all that I run out on. I don't know how Fed balances tennis and kids.
