I think the -4 experience traumatized you! By the way, it's Spieler (which simply means "player" ), not Speiler.

Speaking of Graf... I don't understand why she didn't make it into the game, maybe she didn't give her OK.

Or maybe they reserved her for GST2... same for Agassi, Connors, Del Potro, Davydenko (I miss more russian players), Soderling (?), Cilic (?)...

it certainly did traumatize me.....but its ok now knowing that I accounted for around 25% of all your losses in the end!

There are a lot of pros missing but forget davydenko he is a poor mans agassi. Takes the ball early but has a worse serve. He isnt up and coming and after his melt down against fed is in no danger of winning a slam soon. Not sure soderling should be included think he will prove he is just hitting that purple patch like verdasco last year or tsonga the year before.

I know but if they included Kei Nishikori (marketing purpose, I know), Tsonga or Murray without win ANYTHING... they could include some other top10. At least Davydenko won the masters cup!!! =)

Had 3 very dramatic matches with JGMeeto, they went by so fast. Why the disconnects????

Epon........what can I say?? The first match, you have to admit, was funny.......same old story!
The second was tougher, but what happened in the 3rd??????

Well, Cmon, the first match: as always. I'm leading 2-0, matchpoint. You break. Then 2-1, another matchpoint....2-2, Of course I lost the match after these happenings... even if I wasn't THAT angry this time.

Second match: I went more to the net, remembering the very successful Spieler matches against you. Everything worked fine, 3-0.

Third match: Grrr, it was ended by the most stupid thing in GST: when you let your player run to reach a ball, he suddenly stops, both feets parallel together, then a short jump. Of course the ball has already passed you then.

I'm content with my performance. You're so incredibly agile and you hit extremely angled topspins from wherever you are, baseline or midcourt. It's just not possible to defend all of them. Maybe rather with Ivanovic than Roddick.

Endless and exhausting matches, Vmoe. Even more than the matches against Cmon before.

The first match was still nice (for me...), but in the following ones you were almost unpassable! I'm used to that when playing Cmon or laggers, but not against a German Roger! Aaah, I HATE that. Everything so slow and... just not the game I like.
I desperately dropshotted at the net, but it didn't help. Intended passing shots while you standing at the net... winner for you. You play like... Unterhaching, hehe. But ok, I am the one who has to develop ideas against that, but everything I do is becoming impatient and angry. Well, 2 wins for both of us.

Actually, I'd be interested how Roddick works against you, but then I switched again.

AbbeyRoad24 makes me even more angry now. Sent me a " " after I've quit on him. He serve bugged me yesterday, that's the reason.

Then MaMog from Italy... I know he quits when you win the first point. So I tried to play cautiously, let him win the first point. Then I accidently hit a cross court winner from the baseline. END OF THE MATCH.

What, like Unterhaching? You cannot be serious! If am playing like Unterhaching than you are just playing like Leverkusen: Brilliant at offense, but in the rankings they always end up being (active) no 2, because they lose against Unterhaching .

Really, I would like to play in a different style against defensive baseliners, but hitting crosscourt and inside-out flat forehands simply doesn't disappear from my to-do-list . There was a short moment when I was hitting them against Cmon and I have been scoring points this way, maybe I should ask Cobras for some advise!

The good thing about allrounders is that you can play each style with them, so I am mixing it up (I did attack quite often, there must have been someone at the net to get your passing attempts). Your strengths are definitely at offense, so I have to do something against it. I tried to attack in the first two games of our first match and you thrashed me. My attacking style works against other players, but not against most defensive baseliners (it worked quite good against MightyBison, because he is too defensive, unlike Urigan or Cmon).

Roddick, well, prepare for some slices!

Hehe. Well, indeed, playing defensively is probably the only possible way for you. I think more patience is needed on my part. I sometimes thought maybe you're handicapping yourself playing the slow Federer. But at least in our matches you're able to compensate his slowness. Maybe I would even prefer you as an offensive baseliner.

The problem with player switching is: you choose someone, play really well against every opponent you encounter, think "wow, he/she is the right choice for me", but then against you or Cmon for example you begin to doubt again. Maybe Hewitt would be the best choice for me, playing as him I managed to enter the top 100 with 0 losses, but I need the variation and challenge.

I wonder who is better between Hewitt and Roddick: S.. Roddick beaten so incredible and most awesome service! Hewitt pretty good at volley, fast yes but less powerful stroke and a horrible service!

I play with Roddick in another account and it is sick I think

It's also easy to volley as Roddick. Whereas other players stop and you can't move them any more, Roddick can still run and you get closer to the ball. Very weird. Unfortunately his backhand seems not THAT strong in my eyes - I like having a good backhand.

Brouche is back with -3. Cmon now third!

But forehand of Roddick is good Serve awesome!Volley very good!Flat Shot very very hard!Backhand is ok but other quality of roddick is very good

Roddick or Nadal?Roddick is very very better,I beat every Nadal with roddick And you epon,you play with roddick perflecly no?

Brouche is back :O
Fedal -3

Old player difficulty

Thanks to his serve and power I get in a more aggressive mood than with other players which also makes me more vulnerable to anger, more aggression and thus a worse performance. Maybe we'll play a Roddick vs. Roddick match soon, although I just played as Serena.

Venus is great?
