It was hot at 5/0 last set !!!

Its when you need to be really focus.
Hopefully, you stayed cool, you didn't play the mcenroe card !

Struggled much more than on the Sand court above. Was 15:40 behind in the last game.

@malko & turrican3: Do you play the same way or differently?

[john4p]

Haha, yeah that would've been very frustrating if I had lost at that point.

Per se, yes.
Then, most of the time, you have a slightly better cross service than I have, meaning that you have more space for your next cross return

[malko]

It's closer, but still not...

[john4p]

Whoa, almost there!

Thanks for the feedback.

Not far from what you do.
I'm thinking about doing a youtube video too.
But i never did it.
I know i'm old now.

[john4p]

^Hope you'll do it.


Cleared the US Open now:

Nice John ! !!!

Looks like "tonight IS a good night !" as I finally got it !
Come' on baby !

6-0
6-0
6-0

"Malkette" is the Queen Of " Bâle's tournament " !
and is joining "Turricannette3" on the podium .

With the exception of the second set, at 1-0, where the duo in front of me had the advantage thrice, and where I scared myself a lot before finally winning the set (the mind is very important in sport ), it was a dream game for me.
Many short exchanges and an almost ideal placement every time .



We are waiting you on the podium "Johnette4p"

[john4p]

That's crazy - we'll done!

Doubt I'll be able to do this with just one week left.

[malko]

One match per day (or more if you have time) and I am sure you will defeat the duo played by the computer.
(look at "the beating" I got in my first play : 6-0, 6-1, 7-6. Nothing to be proud of after winning against the computer 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 in single's match on all surfaces . But after a week : tadaaaa )

[john4p]

That'd work. Unfortunately I'll have little time next week so I guess I'm going to just settle for 183 points.

[malko]

OK. Hope you will nevertheless give a try and let us know your score

[turrican3]

congratulation
you did it, i hope more will do it too.

Hope so, but... let's see

[john4p]

Restarted multiple times until I finally won the first game. But after that lost everything:



Not worthy of my own Uber Challenge. Heading back to Azeroth - that feels like vacation.

[turrican3]

You have to change the way you play to beat them.
2 vs 1 is different, you have to adapt your game.

[john4p]

You're right but I'm both too lazy to figure out what works and I also don't think the remaining time is sufficient to get good enough to beat them 6-0 6-0 6-0.

[malko]

Just a small tip "@Laura Robson" : Try it in the middle
(and no reference to the fact that there is one woman and two men in the game )

[john4p]

Hahaha.
Okay, I'll have another go in the evening.

[john4p]

The middle is the way to go. Still lost almost every game.
