As you see the second half of the draw is full of walkovers, but not in my side...

Second round was against a big serves, who had a good backhand as well, but not really good movement or forehand (he was really tall), and I trying to move him side to side. Eventually I won 6/3, 6/3, but I was wasting like 12 match point (4-5 of them being 5-2 up). The match, specially the 2nd set, was closer than the score tells, REALLY long rallies

Hopefully the good weather holds in Dublin and we can play quaterfinals on Tuesday/Wednesday

I played doubles as well, winning first round 2-6, 6-0, 7-5. Second round on Tuesday!

Singles draw:

Good luck on your next match.

Played 3 matches lately.
On Friday I won 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. I really played really well ... my drop shots worked well, forehand was very solid, also my (usually horrible) backahand was pretty good. Service was so inconsistent

I even made 5 DFs in one game and throw away this game. But overall it was good match.

Today I played against 2 oponnnents. With first friend we played only one set and I won it 7-6(5). It was chokefest.

I got an early break and I was serving for match at *5-4 and *6-5 but got broken both times (first time to love and second time to 15 -.-).

In tie-break I was really tired and made so many errors at start.

So he went up 5-2 but I made an comeback and won next 5 points.

Against second oponnent it was really hard for me beacuse I was really exhausted (I have no stamina at all

). But I started to play really good and went up 3-0 with double break (in my service game I saved 4 break points too). But later I just couldn't run anymore, made way too much errors, actually I just played bad (also because of tiredness).

So, he won first set 6-4. In second set I actually broke him in first game but then lost next 6 games. My service was Camile Pin style in that set.

hellas719 · Apr 30th, 2012, 02:06 AM

AYUMI-GOAT · Apr 30th, 2012, 06:48 AM

Played against my couz again yesterday.

Won 6-3 3-6 12-10

In the first 1 set I wasn't serving that great as I changed my motion again

But still was hitting some winners.

Second set, a think I hit an ace, hit more winners, but overall too much UE and was being overplayed.

Third set, leading 2-0 to 2-4

Down 3-5 I just started to be a pusher

Thats what got me back into the game, what was so frustrating though was that in the third I served for it everytime but just got broken back..

MaSharp · Apr 30th, 2012, 07:48 PM

This morning I played with friend for the third time (third time I play tennis for the points) and lost 5:7, 0:6.

I play average according to my tennis skills wich are still pretty bad. In the first two games I just won one point and even this just becouse of double fault from my opponent. Really terrible start. -.-
But then I started to play better and my friend was pretty bad.

I broke him after two fantastic drop shots on his serve and then won my serving game. We were winning our service games until 5:5 and then I have 40:15 on my opponent serve, but of course wasted all. -.-
My opponent was started to play better and better and won 8 consecutive games. -.-

Pretty ugly end for me today but in general I'm very satisfied. My serve was really better as in the last two meetings and during the game I got many more balls through the net. I even made about three winners.

I have still a looot of work with my serve, forehand and especially movement but I'm sure I will soon make a progress in my tennis game!
