Yes I have, and it was a whole different game to me. Once again its not only the technique that won the game by the defender, I also said that the attacker was good even with superior overall technique, but he lost it mentally. So what exactly is your question overall? cause you are constantly...

I never said that ... please let us dont get too excited over terminology the question is not valid but I will answer as precisely as I can. First of all one must define technique and difficulty level. But even then some players will find it "easier" to defende because they have a natural...

Yes exactly, "people" (hehe:P) misunderstood and thought that I was considering the defender as a whole to be inferior which I didnt. I was commenting solely on technique, he played smarter with more patience and varied the game more so he deserved to win. I never said anything less or anything...

One of the reasons I appreciate you and CArl is that you always refer/name the person you disagree with, providing arguements. It does not matter who is right or wrong but to get into a creative discussion

well 10 years isnt a couple of years is it ? :P and certainly the comparison does not mean much because 10 years before the old player maybe was a great player . The young player's mentality was playing its part. he missed several easy balls that he wouldnt have missed if he wasnt so pissed of.

Well for sure he oursmarted pitchford in the 3 sets that he won. Pitchford underestimated him and didnt vary his tactics, the defender adjusted very well after the first set which he lost rather easily. Overall I would say he won because of his tactics, his technique especially after the first...

It's so sad that "people" forget that the forums are for discussion and not for pointing fingers or downgrading anyone. Just because I said his technique is inferior doesnt mean that he doesnt have good technique. Can you spot the difference "people"? My mistake was that I was not 100 %...

You didnt read all of my posts :) if you did you would notice that I analyze some of his strengths as well. And please guys, its boring and funny when someone talks about "people doing that and that" I was the only one here that criticized his technique as inferior, Im not "the people" so...

ok I just watched the 2 sets again a few times. But this time I replayed some points and focused only on the defender. He finds it difficult to control slow spinny loops with his inverted rubber but his BH chop with the pimples is pretty sick. In fact its so good and low that he made 3 net...

Great insight but ok chechetinin is an established player and he managed to beat some of the top names in Europe, its not an accurate comparison. His serve might look simple but it isnt , just because it doesnt look flashy as ma long's doesnt mean its not a good serve. I would consider it...

Yes let me be more specific , I was only focusing on the attacker. The defenders technique as long as the ball is slow and not spinny is very good, he keeps the ball low and in spots that are difficult to attack. But as I noticed when the attacker does not mess up and hits a good spinny FH...

Izra, forgive my style of critique I know I sound too stiff sometimes but when I see a player play, I always focus on his technique aspect only and then start to wander about the psychological aspect. For me as a "wannabe coach" is always a challenge to try to find why a player with a good...

hahahah no hard feelings. on a bad mood that defender would have crushed me easily it happened so many times so far I lost count. Pimples always need a different approach and readjust your mindset to play them

The facilities issue is purely psychological but can also have an impact at the top players. The greeks didnt like it at all but after the first day they tried to forget about it and focus on the game

Lol I didnt blaim the facilities for boll's defeat But not everyone is affected the same. lebesson is way under boll's level . I wasnt surprised that gauzy won but lebesson even if his serves are illegal is no match to my eyes. Anyway lets see, I want to see timo for a 2 years more or so

He seems very slow after the recovery from his injury. I think its definitely downhill from now on, age, too many injuries will take their toll. I also hope Im wrong though , good thing is that he will retire if he realizes he cant play competitively anymore. Its not a good spectacle to see...

The facilities and the field are pretty crappy. many complaints by most players. the floor has some inclination lol.

damn he always bh loop like that?his finger is almost out of the blade even persson's grip wasnt so extreme

Yeah he really seems calm and composed, just get the ball to the table and let the other guy handle his psycho issues.

lol he lost the match with a net match ball. it was hilarious how much he was pissed off.
