Re: [Tier I] Indian Wells Pacific Life Open 2010

Press Conference: My first semi in a Tier 1. I'm excited, and not for my upcoming match. no really, i guess my win streak is coming to an end. but i will have fun trying to knock Justin off his throne. I wish we could have played a full match F-R-E-A-K. I didn't have practice either, my serve was not like it usually is. But all-in-all i want to look forward to winning this tournament, taking it one match at a time.

Re: [Tier I] Indian Wells Pacific Life Open 2010

Im on a 10 match winning streak if we include the pre-AO exo.

5 matches shouldn't be considered a respectable streak shouldn't it? especially between 2 tournaments :lol:

Re: [Tier I] Indian Wells Pacific Life Open 2010

Getting online now. my internet has been off and on for days so we might get disconnected. We might have to take it one set at a time.

ALG d. Chakvetadze 6-3,6-4

Good Match :yeah:

It seemed like I could get returns in to earn bps but when when the bps came I would hit my returns out or into the net even when I anticipated correctly.

Chakvetadze is a tricky opponent with more variety than probably every other player on tour so I never feel like I have a good rhythm when I play her. So considering the match up I think I played pretty well. I think Chakvetadze played well during the rallies especially on defense. She primarily struggled with the return. I'm not sure if it was because I was serving well or if her return was off.

Next up is drop shot whore Myskina

This match was the most fun. It seems easy win, and maybe it was for Justin, but I tried whatever I could to get Anna-Lena on the move. That's the best chance to win a point against her. Funny thing, we held serve easily to 3 all in the 1st set until I got a break point and didn't convert. Then Justin served, got break points and eventually broke me. A-L serve is so good. Our winner to errors ration are

It wasnt. I held serve a little eaiser in the 2nd set but you played well, especially in the 1st set. Fortunately I was able to hit a good serve when facing bps and captilaize on the momentum. You did a good job of moving me around. Thats usually the best way to win a rally against me. ALG is rather slow and Im not the best at changing directions. Our w/ue ratios were practically the same. It was the forced errors that made the difference.

I dont hit many aces but I hit a lot of unreturnable serves which is crucial to my game.
