Tuesday was shit but i had a good session today.
Started playing a match with little warmup with a Chinese Veteran. very tricky because he was putting heavy spin in all his balls (topspin or backspin) and had some really good serves. But he was not good at receiving and his attacks were easy to counter and block; I won the 1st set easily, but then I undersestimated him, he won 3 the next one, and then 3rd one with momentum. I then played more calmly and increased my focus to win the 4th easily. But then, the hour slot was finished and he went home.
I continued with a friend, he's a decent player but doesn't train much. I won 3-1, then said I wanted to do only BO3. He won 2-0 and i told him we'd better stop here, but he insisted to play again, I finally found the right pace and started to move much better, and i won the next 8 sets, playing better and better...
I was finally ready to play a classic LP chopper. He got me 3-2 last time, but i knew i blew it and i could win him. Today i felt in good form and this time, i was very focused, made little mistakes, won 3-0 (9, 7, 4). I was really good at stopping the ball short (one topspin, then a dropshot, but really short and with backspin, he suffered a lot against that...) my serve + 3rd ball attack was working also well. He wanted to play more, so i said ok for BO3 and won 2-1 again, he felt powerless against the same tactics even if he tried a few times to attack a bit more which earned him one set.
More than the results, i liked how I managed to play against players 1 or 2 levels below, not just winning but playing good TT, trying to attack from the start (return or 3rd ball attack) but when not possible, just control well the ball, and how i recovered after each shot and try to always move.
