Why not arrange matches in this thread, before it fcuks up after the second page.

Epon, (or anyone else) I am available to play tomorrow between 630pm and 8pm! gmt+1.

Showtime offered me a match! Here's what happened

We played 3 6game sets.

Utter nightmares, each of them!

I must be getting old/burnt out with this game. I find it virtually impossible to concentrate properly for long periods of time against the best players. I have flashes of inspiration but they just come and go, I get so frustrated too easily, play nervously and then get pisssed off.

First match I lost 1-6. I had a break point at 1-1 on his serve, got distracted for a SECOND by something in my flat, then lost the next 5 games in a row, easily.

2nd match. Much more even, although serve bugs for him meant I was gifted a few points back which helped me to win games. When I broke his serve to lead 5-4 , it just felt inevitable that he would break me back. I really fought for that game, had a match point, but he broke me in the end.......and he went on to win 7-5.

So far so Ping pong.

3rd match, I was utterly depressed. I broke him easily in the first game, then got killed. I was down 1-4, 15-40......then a sudden calm came over me. I stopped screaming everytime I lost a point, played more positvely, reacting to each point in the same way, win or lose. He broke me to lead 5-1, but I didn;t mind, I felt better than I had during the previous 2 matches. Suffice to say, I came back from 5-1 down to beat him in the tiebreak 7-3. Finally!

Serve bug affected the matches in horrible moments however. But it was nice to finallly play someone who didnt take advantage of it.

In contrast to the Brits we Germans are punctual.

Brilliant idea to arrange matches on this incredible forum!

Anyways: You have James' mail address, Epon. Should not be impossible to find a date and time on which both of you have time. Both should try to be punctual, but showing some patience is always a good idea.

EDIT: The "edit trick" has worked for the third time - just edit your message one or two times if it doesn't show up.

I didn't go offline at 7:03, I wasn't online at all because I didn't expect him to be there.
