Since you ask Petrelli, here is a full report

SoundfSilence (Gray) Vs v_x_m (Lightman) - 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-2
1st Set:

I haven't played against Lightman before, but when I use him I serve & volley. v_x_m though was using him from the baseline and impressively! v_x_m went 3-0 up (with one break), really taking the initiative, coming up to net, hitting strong forehands. He really outplayed me. I clawed it back, playing aggressively, managing to get it back to 3-3.

Eventually we got to 6-6. v_x_m probably had more breakpoints, but I managed to scramble through. In the tie-break, my backhand was coming in to place, taking an early break 1-0. Eventually it was 6-1 and I thought the set should be mine. I took it 7-4.

2nd Set:

The set got to 2-2, both of us holding. I was getting a groove now, especially with the single handed backhand. v_x_m though played some amazing volleys! At one point, I hit 3 L2+R2 risks at him, he got the volleys back and won the point... My stamina was beginning to suffer, but I don't know why, I played better

I felt I was able to read his serves and so hit some nice returns which resulted in me breaking twice.

3rd Set:

I had the momentum behind me, and tried to keep the points short as I knew if he could take this set, I could be in trouble due to stamina. The score was 6-2, but really it should have been closer.. v_x_m never gave up.

Hi.

I am marlon Brando.

Well i was opposed to a Kuma newbie on the tour and just too fresh player.He played with Bashmakov and rushes at the net with a little bit inexperience.But certainly he will improve.

Now i'v a

battle with k-par in the next round

The_Hoff78 def. PuttuPuttuu 7-5, 6-3, 6-2

Very tough match from the get go.

Puttu was very hard to hit past. He ran down almost every shot.

Almost every game went to Deuce, the scoreline didn't do the match justice. It certainly didn't feel like straight sets. I had to fight all the way.

Great performance from Puttuu in his first match on the PS3 tour.

With a bit more practice with the PS3 controller, he could be a danger.

Glad to get through a tricky match.

Maximo def Pocho. Match report please.........

by **maximo** » Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:26

maximo def. pocho 7-6, 7-6, 7-6.
Finally i decided play with bashmakov, nakamura is the best returner for me, and is my favourite player, i used him against coke and alex but i think that pocho´s cannon would have destroyed me in rallies, every forehand stroke was a winner, really has not had story, serve and winner shot ,he had 0/3 in break points and me 0/7, I believe that the difference was that i returned better than him, but , I had to use risk shots in 99 % of my returns, summary: 90-40 match, I do not want to say the only way of winning against cannon or bashmakov is to use cannon or bashmakov but I believe that is the only way of playing of equally to equally.

by **maximo** » Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:30

maximo (nakamura) def. patko(nakamura) 7-6, 6-4, 6-3.

it was really difucult break his serve,(he made 10 aces in first set), patko has a terrible service and i was lucky, 2 breaks was enough, i had 2/9 in break points and he 0/1 i think. In the first set i had only 1 bp but he saved it and in the tie break a couple of risk return gave me the set, in the second i broke with 5-4, really i was thinking in second tie break, but patko made some mistakes, and in the third i put more pressure in his service, he saved two 0-40 in the first games of the set, but finally I could break and won my services without many complications. Well played patko :!:

marlonbrando (fussman) defeats k-par (gray) 6-3 6-2 6-3

Was a good match.No questions.I felt k-par plays with much sensibility to the back of the court.But i wa really consistant et makes him much more rallies he was exepecting.And the stamina made a really hard difference.

When i take the first set (pretty close) that was a big option.No defense of break points on my serve and take 5/6 on break points on his serve.I was serving pretty well with much slice and kick on the backhand out wide and anticipates for the shot to the opposed.

And well he really tried to kill my backhand and put pressure but i tried aand with results to take the ball really early without power for dont give him any pace to shot his winners.

Next round against Kiiuji
