After losing 7 matches in a row (the last 2 against Mack, trying some new charakters (they sucked)), I finally managed to win a match again - 7-6, 6-4 against Tantsupalavik - good match with nice rallies, IMO he is playing the strangest style here on ITST!

played jr3930 last night and he showed me how to be a true power player.
It was 6-1,3-6,6-3. He seemed to get power on every shot, even the double risk slice at the ankles. i had no coubter for it, especially in the first set. The second i wore down his stamina and was able to get lucky on a couple of shots. In the third he got n early break and i wasnt able to get back.

Good match Jr.

maybe ill see u in the second round of the french challenger.

I have played him after you and won 4-6 7-6 6-4.

All I got to say that he is great, really a top 20 material. His improvement is very drastic, he will surprise many here. The consistent power was amazing, he was able to chase down a lot of my shots and actually send them back with great power. One other guy that comes to mind, that players at similar level is Joesixtoe. Had a match with him yesterday 6-7 7-6 4-6. Joe looks great on clay, Clay may just be his best surface.... it helps his already fantastic movement. Look out, he will have a great clay season, I am sure!

Looks like Joe got his upper hand again, at one point I started winning him on a regular basis, but I did loose our last 2 encounters.

Joe - I am coming back for you! :wink:

both were fun matches and i really enjoyed them. Ive improved alot since when i first started couldnt generate as much power before. Maybe playing anteros15 a couple of times helped me

.

I played Djarvic again today against his new char. I beat him 6-3 7-6. Only difference in that match was serve.

hope we play many more times

I really enjoy playing you.

played ag coolhand Texas .won 7:6 very close Match with Matchballs of both sides.hes a very strong player

by **Coolhand Texas** » Mon, 02 Mar 2009 02:16

That match i used a player less powerful than my itst player, but this one had more speed. During the whole match u used nothing but double risk return on every serve, there was no good rallies. Match point he won on one of those double risk returns.

i know wat u mean, coolhand, thats exactly how he played against me and it is very annoying, if i did get into a rally with him i was dominating him, now that i am getting my game back i would love to play u again pfernch

I played a lot of matches today, both for itst and exhibtions. Played djarvik twice and both matches were great fun, in particular the second one. I was down 3-6 3-5 before turning it around and winning 3-6 7-6 6-3. Really some great rallies in that match.

by **djarvik** » Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:58

Yes! That second match Mack was truly epic. I am thinking of getting a recording device just to show people how much fun it is when both opponents know each others game so much. It really takes the game to the next level!

Just for the record.... Mack the "looking for serve guy" is officially one of the best servers on ITST. No joke.

Had a match with Holla Its Mike, 6-7 7-6 2-2 we didn't finish it, but was a very intense match. He has a very complete attacking game, defends very well and has a "unique" serve. Smart player.

I saw the comments here about jr3930 but I didn't know he was t going to be that good lol. I beat him 7-6 6-7 7-6 but as the scoreline suggests, it was very close. In fact, it was one of those matches where his statistics at the end of the match were better than mine - he was winning more points of his 1st and 2nd serve, less errors and won 5 more points over all than me yet still I some how won. I don't think I've played any one who can turn defense into attack as well as he does. jr is definitely one to watch and a player that none of the top players will want to meet early in tournaments :wink:

I play him 1st round in the tournie of this week.....

by **Coolhand Texas** » Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:43

yes jr's defense is simply some of the best ive seen. You think you might have a point won then in a matter of seconds he has the advantage. With his 85 speed and amazing power to groundstrokes, you'll be lucky to outpower him

his defense had me throwing evrything when we played last night, simply frustrasting :lol:

Ive been playing some TS3 lately. If someone wants to practise a bit with me then add me

Yes, indeed a very close match. Your angles are wicked and I had to change my game plan in the second a little. Got a bit unlucky in that tiebreak. Fun match, hope we play again soon.
