R2: Mario (2) - achraf federer 6/6 4-3
It was unplayable for both of us(lag ratio over 10 %), we had to re-host like 10 times to even get to the tiebreak and after 4-3 in tiebreak the game just didn't work anymore so we both agreed to do RL.

Reserve Semifinal: Mario (2) def. Naastooo (4) 4/6 6/3 6/2
Considering this was my first match in months(+ new settings) I did better than expected. I returned really well and I don't think he aced me a single time in this long match(+ I served pretty well).
First set I was break down from the start I was still struggling with gameplay and I couldn't get into the rhythm. I started good in 2nd set breaking him early and keeping my serve till end of the set. I got used to the game much better and I pretty much dominated final set. Broke him twice and finished match with nice long rally. Good game better luck next time...

Reserve semifinal #2: Mario (2) def. Sorana Cirstea 6/3 6/0
I played some really good tennis here, especially in 2nd set. He's good player, just needs to work on his return and he might challenge top players. Good game better luck next time.

Reserve Final: Kuga (1) def. Mario (2) 6/3 6/2
He was totally dominant from the start till the finish. I didn't serve very well and he kept hitting deep shots which I couldn't control. I also made little bit too many mistakes and might have won few more games but for the first tournament it's not that bad. It's obvious to me I'll have to change tactic for next tournaments because he always had more stamina than I did and even though he played counter he still had very powerful shots. Good game, congrats on the title & good luck in australian open.
