Anyway played a burns vs burns vs Villa earlier, 7-6 3-6 4-6

I got lucky holding onto the first set, villa was returning into the net alot, but in the following sets he managed to get more in.

My problem was my first volley which was often too weak, and I was punished a few times by villas 1handed DTL, but its just so nice to see you almost want it to happen lol.

All I can really remember is in the 3rd set he broke me early on, and I broke back at 4-3 to make it 4-4, but got broken again and managed to get a break point but Villa saved it and volleyed to victory.

Still got some work to do but volleying is awesome 8)


maybe ill start volleying im tired of getting bullied like a little kid in rallies :(
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm :P

Very good match. Being as for year i've been trying to SV well and you've only been doing it a little bit you're very strong. Bit more depth on the 1st volley would have been major difficult for me. I was so annoyed at myself for blowing so many BP's in the 1st but you stormed the tiebreak. My BH was working very well today and hit some nice ones, although shot of the match i'd say was how you got to my volley in the 3rd set, it was almost a exact copy of Gasquet-Murray in wimbledon 2008, where murray is off the court from a volley and hits a pass. it was so far out alex was off my screen lol but he got there.

One stat that amazed me was how i managed to hit 102 winners out of about 118 points O_O never come close to that before!! V good game

Played djarvik in two games against his fussman, One as burns the other as striker, is lost 6-7 5-7 and 3-6 4-6. The burns game was fun, we traded breaks right at the start and it was close all the way up to the tiebreak, and we exchanged minibreaks and both had set points before i got passed. the second set the returns just got better and better until i was broken. Striker wasn't really competitive at all, defence was too good from the baseline and i struggles to hold serve and didnt really make a dent on his. But both games were fair and fun. Need to work on my return though, hitting the ball way too late.

Yeah fun stuff.


Coke yesturday beat my Fussman for the first time, so Fussman is beatable! :lol: 6.7 6.1 4.6

He kept his concetration while 0-2 down 15-40 down on his serve and railed back to win it.

Djarvik beat me 6-3 7-6 I was Bishop he was Fussman, I broke him in the very first game but than he broke me back in the next game. And than at 3-4 me serving he breaks me and serves it out. The second set was filled with 20+ shot rallies which was so fun, I ended up losing but I put up a fight in the end when he was up 6-1 in the tie break won the first 2 points on my serve and got one of the two mini breaks back, but in his 4th match point he went all out and hit a huge forehand to win the match. Well played Djarvik as usual.

Just played Nitoflament.
I was House and he was Bucci.
Lost 2/6 4/6.
He is really a very good player... during his service games i sinceresly was able to do nothing at all... might have won 3 or 4 points in the whole match.... should work my returns better...

still plenty of work to improve and became one day a decent itst player!

Lost to Djarvik 6-7 7-6 7-6! The first and second set were pretty much the same us holding serves until the tiebreak! In the second set I finally got a break served for the match and choke badly made two stupid unforced errors and he hit a huge passing shot and before I knew it it was 0-40. I saved one of them but yet again made a dumb error to lose that chance. Went to a tiebreak and lost it 7-5.
