How do you make 32 unforced errors?
I don't think I've ever gone over 10 before, even in my longest matches.

It's just part of the extra danger on every shot. I usually don't hit more than 10-15 on a really bad day though. And the way you play is actually pretty steady but hard as hell, which is very challenging in rallies.

whaaaat!!! 32??? that's nothin, i've hit more than 50 on this game.
besides, my character is the lovely Venus, I wouldn't do her justice without hitting a few errors here and there.

My character is Safina and it took me so long to master the art of not DFing.

but that's just the type of playing Watson is, tracking down everything, angles, everything is thrown at me and i want to end points quicker. And when i think about it, I just played to stay in the rally for most of the match, i didn't decided for force my game continuously until the third set.

I should make a pre 2008 Dementieva then, given the state of my serving abilities.

Another disappointing loss to Justin
P. Kvitova def. V. Williams 7-6 7-6
I saved 5 match points....Had 2 break chances in the first set...couldn't do anything. That lefty serve smh. I played better than I thought i would, I moved my serve around well and that basically how i got my games. When we were in a rally, i won most of them. Justin is so good at serving and returning that he hardly needs to hit more than 3 balls to win a point. Stellar serving from the both of us, though the match lacked many rallies. :lol: we played hard court tennis on clay.

Re: [Tier I] Roma - Internazionali BNL d'Italia
I dont feel like I played well apart from my serving. My return in particular was rather bad at points in the match (I was missing returns off of weak returns even when I knew exactly where they were going.) My play in rallies was also unusually mediocre. Im usually good in long rallies despite my poor movement. Fortunately DMG was fairly predictable on the big and I knew where Venus's serves were going. I wasted 3 mps at 6-5 in the 2nd set but figured I would get 1 or 2 mini breaks in the tiebreak. My tiebreak record in duels is rather horrible but in tournaments its 5-1.

Most of them were won with drop shots with the occasional cross court angled winner. You may want to go to the drop shot a little less. It worked a lot in the match but it cost you about 2 points in the 1st set tiebreak.Another disappointing loss to Justin

Nope, i love my drop shots, they just don't work on Watson. I only hit about 8-10 dropshots. i just like to throw different shots in a rally.
