Alex is a great player, he is a scientist in the field

[VillaJ100]

The scariest thing was like he was playing with no weak groundstroke, they was both equally as strong and accurate.

[Likos86321]

AEGON International (MS) Final

Likos gets through Corrbuster 7-5, 6-4

Very aggressive match, i had to adapt to corrbuster's style of play in order to win my second title this year. Most of the match was one two...maybe three shots and looking into the bright side of this match, i practised my risk returns and shots!

[Otlichno]

Nitoflament def Otlichno 2-6 6-4 6-4. We were both Bucci.

I think I may need some mental help, only an idiot can blow as many chances as I did. He began to play well in the second and third and all his double risk returns went in, but I was playing well until 3-2 in the second, I had two break points but when I failed to get them, I totally collapsed! In the first set I was timing my shots perfectly and hitting them all so cleanly, and my defense was great so his risk returns didn't affect me as much as they did in the second and the third sets.

I don't know whether I should be happy to nearly beat a Grand Slam Champion who is ranked much higher than me, or sad that I lost my biggest chance into getting in another semifinal and beating a very inform top ten player.

[nitoflament]

was a great match, very tight and hard. There are games where you have to use all the resources to move forward, always within the rules, you also use the risky returns, I think it was a clean game. You have to be happy, you've played at a high level

[Otlichno]

I didn't call you cheap, I was just amazed that you were able to consistently hit all then risky returns in, it's hard to do. You're one of the cleanest players on tour!

This was my biggest chance to beat a top player in a long time, but we both played very well and it was a very hard contest.

[nitoflament]

I never thought bad, just gave my opinion, I was lucky to return that way, you were a wall that returned every ball, i did not have many options. You are going on the right way

[Andymachine]

As Coke says seeing as not many people report matches much anymore i thought id do one that i really enjoyed tonight
MS Mercedez Open
Andymachine def Chillacriz 67, 64, 76

I had played him before and won in straight sets and on clay i thought id have an easier ride but this was not the case , we both kept holding serve in first set and rallies were like lightning speed lol, and i was up again in the tie break and then lost it with double faults and nearly cried

2nd set i stayed firm and went for down the middle returns for a change and it paid off as it took his angles away perfectly and i just stepped in to put the reply away

3rd set he got wise to it and broke me but i broke right back but he had match point on my serve so i changed serve up with a deep topspin one and it threw him , and on tie break was lottery i just went for my returns and it paid off

Great match Chillacriz

p.s I glad to be back on clay again

[calvkln]

Campbells Hall of Fame Tennis Championships (sim)

QF: Likos def Calvkln 6-7, 6-3, 7-6

I thought that I'd try to keep the reports coming as well....

Tough match, lots of rallies with many winners from both sides of the net. Breaks were few and far between. Likos kept many of his service points short which worked well for him, I felt that when I was able to keep the rallies long I could force an error but it was difficult as many of the balls hit from his forehand wing were coming at me like lightening bolts. I tried, but was denied the win. Good Job, Good Game.



P.S. on another note, I want to mention my prior match against Coke, although I got through in straight sets he was a very tough opponent who saved many breakpoints with his great serving. He always is a tough opponent no matter which tour he is playing on
