Togtdyalttai(3) def. Novak Djokovic 6-0 6-0

I have to say I pretty much pushed the ball back into play. He was making error after error after error so it worked fine, but that's not really how I want to win.

I wish I could defend like you. I'd be a 100% topspin wall that would drive everyone insane.

It's way too easy to defend now IMO. Before it was fun being able to defend like no one else could.

S.Williamz, we play. I'll be on all day tomorrow. If you want to take off this week and enjoy some above freezing Finnish weather, it's cool.

Eronakold d Algo 6-3 6-1
really nice match, we had a never ending game on my serve on the second set, like 8 tb's points for him before he could broke me, a lot of long rallies throughout the match too. I think I'm starting to like this new build as I'm getting more used to it :lol: but I still do many errors, and some of my shots aren't working as they did, but I think is more balanced and competitive, which I think was the idea with this build

tati cornet def. vanessa child 63 60

well, the score doesn't say anything!
in the first, i had a break point on his first serve game but lost it. she broke me to lead 3-2 but i came back and won 10 games in a row.

but firstly, the points were very hard to win, she defends really well. and secondly, she made several errors from 0-0 to 3-0 in the second. after that, she had game points, even on my serve.

she saved a match point and try to defend everything. fortunately, i did less faults in the second (4, it wa s12 in the first).

vanessa, will be good soon. :d

It was a nice match, he's a good player and didn't make it easy for me. The new update didn't make this easier, I'm still struggling with it.

It really was a much better match than the score indicates. Our first point was a classic 36-stroke rally that ended in dramatic fasion. I started off well and broke Tati, but unfortunately got broken back right away. The next break though was unfortunate, considering I double faulted twice using safe serves. Manutoo, I know you love this update, and I like a lot of it too, but there is something with the serving. Please investigate this, because sometimes it seems impossible for one of the players to get a first serve in, and sometimes even a second, and other times it's normal.

Second set I started off poorly, but the rest of the set was good. Every game was pretty close-I had break points as Tati mentioned, but in the end he won the crucial points. It's funny because I played much better in this match against him than in Indian Wells when we played, but the score is more lopsided this time. Tati is a great player and I wish him luck!

R32: Maria Sharapova def ManuTOO : 6/1 6/2
ok this time, although our levels weren't too much different, I got a opponent who was clearly a inch better than me... :)
We played the 1st set last night, with some terrible pauses, lasting several seconds, till I wasn't watching the screen anymore... This morning, for the 2nd set, everything was fine, except I'd need to improve a bit... :sweat:
