Metz - Moselle Open 2012

[C4iLL]

Semi-final, C4iLL vs MichaelD(Fed) = 2-6 ; 4-6.

MichaelD played a serious match (he plays around the level of Carlos), and on my side, it was a really bad performance : a lot of faults on easy volleys, a bad first serve percentage, bad anticipation, bad returns.. Everything suxed, especially during the first set and I had not the level/sensations required today during most of the match.

I was really far from my recent level, don't know why, but that's life
GG Michael !

Finally Inseedious and I could play. Thanks Moe for the understanding .
Robbin92 (Lopez) 6-2 5-7 6-1 Inseedious (Gasquet)

It was a good match on my side, a bit rusty due to some lack of playing but overal I had a decent level.
Inseedious had some trouble cause he had to play on another pc then normally.
Unfortunately I forgot to put the autorecord feature on, so I will tell something about the match here.

The first set was quick, I could dominate points and finished of with a double break.
The second set was going the same way, with me early breaking and going in front till 5-3. That is when I had to serve for the match, but I didn't got any first service in leading to Inseedious creating 0-40 and breaking back. In his next servicegame I had a matchpoint, but he played well and even managed to break me again and serving out simple: 5-7.
In the third set I could raise my level a bit, taking balls earlier and keeping iniative leading to a comfortable 6-1.
I have to make Inseedious a compliment for his outstanding passings. I really had to go all out from the baseline to win the match. I'm happy that my mental was good enough to keep calm despite missing my chances in second set.

Robbin92 (Lopez) 6-3 6-4 Algo4 (Murray)

I played a good match from the baseline. Algo passing play was awesome, coming to the net was deadly for me.
So I had to go for all out winners from the baseline again, what resulted in some unforcerd errors on my backhand side.
Algo was the first to break in the first set leading 3-2, but then I was able to win 4 games in a row.
In the second set I broke early and could rely on my service until 5-4. I could serve for the match again. The game had a lot of similarities with the game at 5-3 against Inseedious earlier on the day. My first service wasn't there and Algo created a break point. Luckily I could I got an ace on my second service. 2 points later the match was finished, so I was a bit lucky there.

Well done on winning your first title Michael!

Lost the final against Michael 6-1 6-1. First of all I want to congratulate you again on your amazing tournament.
About the match itself, I was playing really bad and couldn't adapt to the circumstances leading resulting in lot of errors.
I don't know what was wrong with me, but sometimes when I aimed to the right side of the court the ball went left, also couldn't find the sweetspot thus wasn't able to hit countershots.
Michael was dominant in each point we played, I was too late on every ball.
I'm disappointed my Lopez tryout ended like this, because I was just starting to like him.
Anyways, I'll upload the match in the mediasection.
