John-Dim - BlackyM 6-0, 3-6, 6-1
Just LOL...I defeated myself in third set...how did I won that 1 game in 3rd set will remain a mystery...because I have no idea...
But also...my shots were all ending up in the middle of the court, that is problem that I always have when match is very laggy. My serves were unprecise, and mostly my drop shots were the funniest drop shots in the TE history. Some of them looked more like a lob than drop shot!
First set
We started yesterday, and it was unplayable...I lost my 2 serves for 0-3, and then we stopped, and agreed that we'll today.
After we continued, lag was almost the same, game was slow, it was hard to serve good, specially to move good.
He broke me again, and won set easily.
Second set
We started with my serve, he immediately had 0-40, I saved all three BPs. Next game I had BP...but couldn't convert. His very next serve I had 15-40, and took it for a break. After that my return play just crashed tottaly, movement was somehow started to be impossible, returns were always, I mean always in the middle of the court. But I kept my serve, without giving John BP, and took second set.
Third set
And here story really starts. I cannot say nothing more, than I'm an idiot, that always defeats him self, when opponent can't do that. Very first game, my service game, I missed ball for 0-15, then next point I pressed WRONG BUTTON, and made slice first time in match, and had to go to net first time in match, and got first volley in, but then missed slow ball again for 0-30.
The he made good point for 0-40, ace saved me one BP, but on the other, I missed ball again on easy return!
On his serve I couldn't do nothing, I won 3 points (2 in last game) I think in whole 3rd set, barely could move properly, I couldn't switch sides when running. Continue missing balls. Total number of MISSED balls in 3rd set for me is 8...8 freaking times!!
Only game that I actually didn't sucked was last game...when I had 0-15, when I missed ball again, and again! I made 3 errors in that set, 2 in last game.
