I expect with all the money he can hire a nanny or two

no worries man, i didn't mean it as a rip or anything, just that im not sure how to predict

On a side note, I've faced some pretty good people in exhibitions, played clean and well ( This one guy i was really impressed with, alpator i think), that i then invited to check out ITST, but they never do Need some mind control techniques

Maximo's Bashmakov def. Brgerflipr's Gray 7-6, 7-6

Bashmakov's 90 power & 90 serve were too much. Even w/ my 90 return, the 75 power is not enough to overcome. If I even got the return back, the lack of power was an easy put away. He was never threatened on serve at all. Both sets went to TB's, 1 or 2 risk returns later and I lose.

Boring match. 90% outwide serving, a lot of risk slicing. No rallies on his serve. My serves were all struggles. Sorry Maximo, no disrespect to you, you won fair and square. And you're a good player. Just not exactly a very fun match for me. Congrats and good luck.

Bashmakov hs got to go from PS3 tour!

[brgerflipr]

The point of the SIM tour is to "simulate" tennis. Right? Bashing & gaming is reserved for the WT and 40-90 tour. Perhaps I need to learn a little more about the SIM style play and how to counteract certain players, but it seems like Bashmakov doesn't really simulate a real tennis player.

To me, and of course I could be wrong, he seems a little too powerful. Especially w/ the ease of PS3 movement, he's not slow at all. On top of that, his 76 on return is perfect for a few risk returns to steal a TB.

I understand there should be a power server/hitter on the player list but if we all use Bashmakov it is exactly the same as 90-40. There should be more oppurtunity to break in SIM imo, or you should be rewarded for serving well, not just because of your stats, I mean you do not even have to be very accurate when you have all that power in SIM.

[brgerflipr]

Fedfan - exactly. Well said.

[fedfan]

BTW has SIM thrown anyones 90-40 game off. In SIM I have to be more patient but when I played 90-40 I did the same out of habit and got slammed, it really reminds me of the difference there should be between tours.

[maximo]

i agree with you guys, i said in other post, 90- 90 is too much, is true, i think i play clean, but with this service u have a lot of adventage, and yes, matches with bash are bored, really i thought play with nakamura but i am not good enough with him yet.

[brgerflipr]

Again, not taking anything from maximo. He played a smart match and was definitely the better player. I gave him no trouble on his serves and he almost broke me many times. If I were to steal the match w/ a few lucky risk returns, I would not have deserved it.

I didn't mean to take anything away from maximo, it was more commentary on the bashmakov character. Maximo, I'm rooting for you to win the whole thing!!! This way I won't feel so bad about the loss.

[maximo]

i understand u, i know that isn´t for me and it´s about ,bashmakov´s character, i have played against bashmakov and isn´t sim match, and i think the same about cannon, i think they should be modified or eliminated of the list.

[RV_Cobra11]

neverrrrrrrrrrrrr i love cannon

[alex13090]

Im considering just using bashmakov against others using him. Don't see why id put the extra effort, the match will be boring regardless.

[Apathetically]

Me too possibly. I'm not sure if Cannon can match Bashy, He has more consistent wings with power, greater return, superior serve and more or less same stamina, speed and volleys.

if u don't like play with Bashma,simply don't do it.
u say that playing with him it's boring...so don't use it.
if u begin to play only with nakamura u'll improve fastly...and u'll enjoy

If we do that, then we can all save ourselves some time and just play TB's. Whoever gets the first risk return in wins the set. So fun! I'm on board too guys!!!
