G.Dimitrov def. tolsimir (Djokovic) 6/0 6/2 6/2

It wasnt a hard challenge for me. In the first set I beat him very easily. In the second set he started to play well on his serve. And on the third he had a good level, but it was too late.

G.Dimitrov def. polca (Djokovic) 6/4 7/6(4) 6/1

So it was a really good match! Polca was playing really cool! He was defending and attacking really well! Only he hadnt his serve.. You can see the stats below.

1st set: I broke him early on a game where he didnt make a 1st serve. Then I was playing great on all my serves so hold my advantage and won the set.

2nd set: In the first his two serve games I had some BPs, but didnt manage to broke him. He started to find his first serve, so it was very hard to play on his serve, but I kept my best level on serving. So everything was going to tiebreak. But on *5-6 I made some stupid errors and he had 3 consecutive set points! I saved them all with my 1st serve. Then he had again a set point, but I saved and this one and then won the set. In the tiebreak I started to guess some his first serves, before he was serving average 210 km/h second set greatly, so I manage to get it 7/4.

3rd set: He again started to have problems with his 1st serve, so I broke him after nice returns early and then again, so Im in the R16.

I want to say and that, that I really started to find Grisho's first good serve, after playing some matches with Tsonga. And the most interesting is that he said after the match, that when I served the ball became invisible. I think and someone else complained of this problem before. And he said that there was something with his auto-positioning. And the icing of the cake, that now when I watch the replay, I saw that next to his CRC there is a big red CRC INVALID. LOL, but it is the same that is in the CRC spreadsheet?! So I expect answers, thanks in advance.

P.S.: We are waiting for your real comeback Polca! I hope to see you back soon!

Uchiha Muss vs Ugadalou 3-6, 4-6, 3-6

I'm gonna rant in a while so I just want to give the praises while I can. I've defeated Ugadalou in some exhibition sets so my confidence was up in the sky. He played really good as he was Djokovic and even a God knows how SuperPowered djokovic is. Stroke back everything I threw at him. He did so many passing shots while I rushed to the net because I'm not good with baseline rallies. That's just not me. His baseline positioning is rock solid yet elastic and efficient. My accelerations were cleverly used as counter strike and I always had 2 bars less stamina than him. Long story shot I wish Good Luck to him. He will need them because his next opponent will be and we all know he's capable of or we can't even comprehend it. Anyway this match overall was satisfying I don't have major complaints although I have little minority reports.

WARNING!! If you've read my posts and had enough of my top spin serves crap don't read ahead. It'll contain sexually graphic and disturbing images. I repeat if you're a kid and still live with your parents STOP RIGHT HERE You've been warned.

This Ugadalou is arguably the worst cheesy player I've ever encountered. Before everybody jumps in bandwagon of "Oh no he's a good guy I know him, he's a veteran player" let me just explain what happened. I mentioned earlier that I defeated him in a practice sets. But little did I know that he's a completely different animal when it comes to tour matches. He wore a "long and black " socks to the game. So the horn was blown and coin was was raped by umpire and our extremely long awaited match started. We started exchanging games one by one and I started noticing something. Of all places I hadn't expected this to happen right there at that moment. What I noticed was that Legendary god damn, son of a gun top spin ALL THE TIME. 1st serve and 2nd included. I know it because I had played a practice with CPU Djokovic. I specifically looked at his normal serves and remembered an average height of that ball bounce. When it was the real deal with Ugadalou I interrupted the transition scenes with replays and IT WAS THERE. That stupid, thick, bastard top spin hurling at me in slow speed yet in Monstrous way. so he kept using that and I couldn't do anything. He was the better player and broke me once to wrap up the 1st set. Happy Days.

2nd Set: I tried something different and I did what everyone has been telling me to do. I stepped back. As soon as I stepped back he started dropshot all of a sudden. He's the guy who sticks to boring rallies. I was like Up until he never did a dropshot, he never came to the net. That's why I'm calling him and accusing cheesy player. He really is.
After a while I realized that this guy was playing more unfair than I'm. I only had 4 accelerated slice shots during a whole match and only won 3 of them. None of them gave me brake or anything except a free error from him. Didn't use banana shot or a short slice. I swear by Jesus and Zeus and Buddha because I'm transvestite of a religion.

3rd Set: I came back to my initial position after having experienced a horrible return games. Guess what happened? He increased his poxy top spin and almost started lobbing me from other side. At that point I was done. I just rolled the ball and he deservedly in his opinion won the match

Seriously I bet anyone is fairer at serving than Ugadalou. They don't use top spin ALWAYS IN EVERY SERVE POSSIBLE. This guy is a hoax.
P.S. I call this match the worst and bullshit. I don't demand anything I don't care. I've made my point.

[Ugadalou]

GG Uchiha.You were the better player.

[polca456321]

Congrats to Dimitrov my opponent, who played his Dimitrov very well ! Especially in backhand, taking the line on each point, and you can trust me there was no chance in that He deserved his victory, and is able to play awesome tennis ! The Mutant is in RG for sure

I'll make clear this "invisible ball" point. In fact, when he served, the ball became invisible before bouncing on the square, then it appeared. So for his 3 first serve games, I took aces aces aces I don't yet know where did this problem come from. And about auto-positionning, when he told me after the match that I should have stopped it because of this problem, I told him that I found a way to go on most of his serves : I just looked at my player and pressing a button when he served, and then guessed the direction regarding my player's automatic movement, due to auto-positionning.

And the icing of the cake, that now when I watch the replay, I saw that next to his CRC there is a big red CRC INVALID. LOL, but it is the same that is in the CRC spreadsheet?! So I expect answers, thanks in advance.

Indeed, from the replay polca crc is 12646267, thus he played with 1.13 Djokovic. Wich means he overwrited his profile .ini with 1.13 .ini and didn't reloaded the character after installing 1.14.

=> viewtopic.php?f=1047&t=17700

Using an old ITST.ini with a newer mod version can lead to several issues/bugs, with interface icons but also ingame textures etc (the ball disapearing issue he had may come from this as well). To keep the key mapping the clean way, always create a new profile manually, and only copy/paste the [keys1] or [joy1] section from your old ITST.ini (i feel sounding like a broken record ).

[inseedious]

inseedious (Federer) def. Sedas (Djokovic) 3-6 6-2 7-5 6-4

As always, my draw is very tough, having to face Sedas in R32 and AlexJasmin in R16 :S
I'm in the middle of the last exam session before summer, so I'm not playing except to play tourneys, so I didn't start well, really starting to play in the second set. I had to get used to Nole's white shorts, making the ball almost invisible in the first moments after the swing. Since the beginning of the second set, I always felt to have to control of the whole match, despite some little blackouts in the 3rd set, where I wasted a *5-4 40-30 easy set point. He played a good match, his tactic was strong, guessing lots of time the direction of my acceleration, winning some almost lost points. But he used the same tactic during the whole match, while I changed mine lots of times to confuse him a bit, varying a lot with some nice down the line backhands and turning around my bh to hit huge inside-out/in forehands.

[C4iLL]

C4iLL (Djokovic) vs Woowhat (Gasquet) = 0-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2.

Very though battle, that Woowhat could have won in 3 or 4 sets as I was not very confident and I struggled a lot with my positioning, my reflex, my eyes etc.

First set : it seems it becomes a classic syndrom, the same as vs Richie in a final recently or vs Butcher in second set of Nice --> I join the match and I don't know how to play anymore lol. And in front of me, i've a warrior : result 6-0 in 10 minutes maybe.

Second set : I began to play like a top30 maybe, and Woowhat decreased a lot his level, I was able to surprisingly lead 4-0.
He came back to his normal level and mine was still very fragile with missed balls, easy points lost etc.
I won this set 6-4 and it was like a miracle regarding my level. Shame on Woowhat for this ^^

Third set : I think he broke me early and I never had a chance to come back, the score could have been harder. I was still not confident.

Fourth set : 1-1 but he was still dominating, the game crashed. We were equal in stamina so it didn't make a difference (two bars left for both of us). I began to play better anyway in this beginning and this broke my rythm.
At the come back of the match, I lost my serve, he led 3-1.

At that moment, I don't know how or why but I suddenly began to play far better and to be far more relax. I obtained the break and came back 3-3. But he broke again the game after.... 5-3 he served for the match.

At that moment, I just began to play a real good level of top15 maybe. This allowed me to debreak, and even really near winning the set 7-5. But he played a great tennis too at that moment so it was not possible.

On the tie-break, a big battle began and I mentally won it with a level maybe slightly better.

Fifth set : I was totally relax, playing near my best level, hitting extremely power shots from both sides, going more to net etc. He quickly lost his service and his level decreased while mine never stopped increasing till the end of the match where I painted the lines almost constantly

Globally, I think Woowhat should have won, but he lacked of something sometimes (second set mainly, and maybe the service at 5-3).

Stats : I hit as much winners in the two last sets than in the first three.
Me -> 87 winners, 81 UE ; 6/11 break points.
Woowhat -> 72 winners, 67 UE ; 7/20 break points.
Globally, he won 3 more points than me ^^

pigrosofo (Federer) def. G.Dimitrov (BUL) 6/2 4/6 6/3 6/3

I just did too much errors, stupid errors! He was playing great as well. But I had my chances. He had luck too. He made something like 15-20 net clips and maybe I 4-5. So if you see the stats below, u will see that my only problem were my errors.

1st set: In the 1st game I had 2 BPs, but I didnt succed in broking him. In the next game he broke me. :/ My serve was just terrible in the 1st set. I made and too much errors and on the other hand he was attacking really cool. So he won the set on my serve.

2nd set: I broke him on the start and then I managed to hold my serves, I started to defend better and pigrosofo started to do more errors. So I managed to win this one.

3rd set: He broke me early, then I rebroke him, but again he broke me. The rallies started to be more long, but I still was making too much errors.

4th set: He broke me in the most important game (for the books of tennis), when I was serving on *3/3, he broke me again and won the match.

I want to congratulate pigrosofo for his really great play on clay And I want to wish him luck! I'm really sad that I lost this one. I will try to win AEGON Championship now. I'm expecting and Davis Cup

P.S: Elias told me that in his match pigrosofo done 5/6 a shot will a strange depth, so he done it 5/6 times and with me and I lost some important points.

[pigrosofo]

thanks for congratulations, dimitrov still congratulations to you too cause for me we played both a good match and the difference was made by a bit more consistency by me on returning on some crucial games of the match; in particular on the 2nd set, that I lost, I managed to gain the deuce from a 40-love for you and maybe I had also a break point then, I would have recored the deuce and maybe win the set, for a probable 3-0 , before you managed to keep thanks to an ace and others good first serves
About the "strange depth" shots you and Elias talked about, the situation is not the same and it is not so strange ad maybe you describe it
with Elias it happened, then, maybe 5 or 6 times that in order to defend from his good and deep accelerations he made when I hit short (losing metres of court), I ran desperately some metres out of the baseline trying to recover the ball with normal slices that can be good counter shots but in my visual I finished to see my player almost out of the screen like Nadal on return 5 metres out of baseline attached to line judges and for the pressure I had on to recover the ball I made sometimes mistakes with my pad and its directional arrows, creating strange shots in the middle between slices and lobs; of these 5-6 occasions, 2 or 3 times the point was won by me for Elias' errors, sometimes the point went to him cause this strange shot went out
In our match, instead, dimitrov, the strange depth shots you talk about are not the same; they're simple counter shots that I made sometimes with normal shot, other times with top spin shot, other times with acceleration, but in every case shots made simply with a timing on the ball such that the ball returned deep forcing you to go behind or to make mistake, and you managed, I saw, to adapt quickly to these so I don't understand to wich 5-6 shots in our match you refer to
However, a great match and I hope someone will have the willness and patience to see it

I know really well what is a normal depth shot that sometimes go on the line, but you hitted sometimes shots that was something like lob, but they landed 2-3 meters from the net and when I was running to them to hit a winner, I was going to much with my player in them, so I hitted them in the net. Strange depth, Im talking not about shots on the line, but shots 2-3 meters from the net, coming like free balls, but close to the net.
