FLavia Pennetta def. Krisztian Jakab 57 76 64

OMG it was a thrilling match!
In the first set every my serve's turn was a fight, while he held it easily. When we were 5-4 I had a set point on his serve, but he made an ace. I suffered the weight of that set point so I lost my serve and the set.
In the second set he broked me early but when i was losing hope, I re-broke him. Then i saved 3 break point in a row on 4-4 and the set was decided at the tie-break. Here he made a mini-break, but i draw the score and then we both had match or set points. Finally i won the set after an hard fight.
The third set was decided by a break when we were 2-2. I held my serve easily, except in my last serve turn, when i saved a break point.

I'm happy because it's the first time that I suceed in going up after losting opportunities.
I have to say that Krisztian Jakab was unlucky, and that he was a great opponent.

Thanks Flavia
Good luck for the tour

reserv match Q. finals

K Z def. Hakanamokou 6/3 7/6
All I can say is that the lag didn't help us (600 ms) I almost broke my PC
Both of us have the Demo version , so we were in the obligation to play 5 matchs to determinate the winner
Hope I will never play a match in that cond itions

hi Flavia Pennetta, congrats on making through 1st round. I added you already on MSN. Let me know when you can play. See ya!

I cant agree in the match time with KZ from Sunday.

First I asked him to play in Sunday , and he added me on MSN. He wanted to play at afternoon, but I had a football match ( not online ::) ) so i said tomplay later. Later we nearly agrred, but he asked me about a program hamachi, to have lower ping. Firstly I did not want to download it, because I never had problem with ping in tournaments, but after I downloaded it. He said better to play on Monday.... On Monday he said again the ping is too high, whether i had the hamachi program installed on my computer. He said his mother wants to use computer, so we cant play later.
On Tuesday i did not find him on MSN . I could search him after 18:00 because of my work ( i told him this before ), but not find him, so i wrote a mail. He answered he will try, but he has swimming after 19:00 .....

While the written above, he also played 2 reserve matches...... It was not really fair I think, but now it would be easier for the tornament if I retire.

So KZ def. Nikko ( ret. )

This is the second time in a row I have to retire. I hope next time I will have more luck.

Have a greta time, I wont play on tours in the next few weeks because of theese circumstances.

Forgive me K.Z. not to say good luck....

Well . Exuse me Nikko , I really wanted to play with u but the the circumstances wern't agree
I am connected all the day and u can ask whoever u like
and I told u that I cannot connect at night in some days bkoz of trainings ( to say smthing , I think we lost our own occasion in the first day when u didn't want to wait for your football match )

NW, I am really sorry for this unfortunate situation and hope It'll never happen again

Semi: Zuzana Ondraskova (USA) [3] def. K Z (Algeria) 4-6, 6-1, 7-5

This was a really nice match with some great shot making and momentum swings. But it was really marred by desyncs. We need to come up with some uniform policy for dealing with them, because there were a lot of times where K Z and I saw different things, and it occasionally became sort of contentious, which is unfortunate because he is such a nice guy.

I don't know what the policy should be, because it's tricky when people see very different things happen, but there should definitely be one...

i think shelbaea can confirm we don't have news from jose abanto castro. it's thursday and the first round isn't finished for them.
will he get a wo?

i don't have news from tsonga neither.

YUGIOH i'm ready to play.

Mars : Szavay

Yu.gi.oh def. Flavia Pennetta 76(2) 76(5)

You have been too solid in the two tie-breaks. No breaks in the rest of the match. You are very tough.
But I'm proud of the level I reached in this tournament!

Good luck for the rest of the tournament!

Yu.Gi.Oh def. Flavia Pennetta: 7-6, 7-6

She is pretty good at her serves! Her tactics caught me by surprise. Have the potential to upset anyone! But fortuately, most my service games held at love. Good game! Now, I will just sit back and watch tog win this tournament.
