Managames Tour #1

Don't is Florian? Florian is Voja?

He was Tour #1 before 1-2 weeks(I don't know exactly time because, I didn't visit MG for a while. He was just winning and winning(when he is playing seriously) and maybe he got tired of that. So he retired from MG tour and he joined ITST for a new challenge and I think he will face it!

Just win my R32 match aganist Djarvik 6-2 6-3. I was Del Potro, he was Youzhny. Hard score for him but good game and from last match he improves his level. Hard score because he had many break points and 2 times he was 0-40 and i escaped with strong serves. I think that in Valencia there is no match between Del Potro and Youzhny, Del Potro seems to be a robot
here are the stats:

I am 0-14 BP in the last 2 matches Well played eliomelma, Valencia is a darn fast court, was hard to cope with you.

G.Dimitrov(BUL) def. El Croato 6/4 7/5

Very hard match!! He was playing GREAT from the baseline(attacking and defending), but here came my serve, volley and luck. We were playing a lot of long rallies on his serve and as you probably know Federer have better stamina that Dimitrov, so my player was very exhausted and I was making some very stupid errors because of it. So I was playing 95% of my serve games on the net(S&V) and I was making it really well, combinated with my good serve(maybe it sounds wired,because of my 58% 1st serve, but he had a lot of problems on my serves. ) It wasn't so hard for me on his serve, because his 1st service was 53 %. I'm glad that there was no tiebreak! And I think that 37 mins for 2 sets without tiebreaks is very long.

First set: He was serving first and to 2/1* we two had some problems on serve, then I made 4 aces in a row, winning the game for 10 seconds, maybe the shortest game in the tour. And after this game we two haven't got any problems on serve to *4-4, when after 2 errors by his side and one great backhand winner from me I had the first BP in the whole set and I won it after another error from he! On the next game the result was 30-30, but after my great serve I won the set!


Second set: In the first game I had 2 BP on *15/40, but I didn't broke him. On *2-2 I had three BP on *0/40, but I didn't take them again. On the next game he had his first BP, but I just played great on my serve. At 4/3* he had another BP, but you know what happened. At *5-5 it was the moment of the match, after he miss one ball and did one unforced errors, the result was *0/30 and I made one very lucky winner(noone can return this ball) after the ball touch the net and then it was easy so I won the match!

El_Croato is great baseliner! Maybe he can be better if he learn to volley good and to come more often on the net, because Federer is maybe the best volleyer after Llodra in the ITST roster. He is also great pearson! Good luck in everything El_Croato and hope to have another great match like this one in the future.

First I have to tell Aziz that this report have to be in Seoul's topic.
And second: A lot of players complain about that Aziz is doing a lot of drop shots, so maybe the tour hosts have to warn him or do something like this. Here are some recent provements:

iBullet91 : As well, Aziz's drop shots helped him out. I think at one point he did 3 drops shots in a row in one game. It seems other players find that he drops too much too.I don't know if Robbin and Elias found the same problem in this tournament with drops? Some drops are obviously ok...but I don't think so many are needed in a match.

Cerji: At some point in the match he did 3 drop shots and rush to the net in a row :/
They weren't so successful though I have the dmo if needed.

Indiantonike: Once again, Aziz defeat Indiantonike 76 64, using and overusing dropshot on hot moment.

[Aziz Ismail]

Really really happy to win the game vs Indiantonike ...

They are talking : im using only drop shots ..

Listen : This is my game i will play my games with drop-shots you cant woody on my game ..

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Elias]

Not only dropshots. (That he also did against me @ us open by the way, usually 3 in a row in the same game to break you at the end of a set, or in tie breaks).

I didn't reported my Kremlin match nor Robbin did because it was just awful for both of us, Aziz interrupting the game for 10 seconds or more in between every game (i mean every), from 2-2 to the end of the match (entering menus, or swapping to another application), wich is against the rules, a complete joke. So that complaints have been filled already.
