I predicted 11-1, was close Dima looks like a lot of fun

 

[TT_Rogue]

ohh when did he learn what he did on the last point

 

[LucasMcCaine]

i dont even care of the score ,it seems like Dima is such a cool guy ,and of course that last point ,posing?awesome

 

[LucasMcCaine]

this should be a permanent thing ,i mean inviting a pro to play maybe interview him later ,but first play ,what you guys think?

 

[Tinykin]

Dima was lucky. If it wasn't for that edge ball, Dan would have made a better comeback.

 

[Matt Hetherington]

At least you got in a quality counterloop haha tricky serves though he has great variation disguise.

 

[Thomas Jeffcott]

thanks Dan (and Dima of course !), I am so happy! It will look nice with my red Dima's shirt

 

[Boogar]

Dan you let me down...

 

[Shuki]

Dan you let me down...

yeaaaa, I really was hoping Dan would be the one to get a net or edge ball or two. I guess what they say is true, the better player gets more nets/edges.

 

[Baal]

Those elite guys are insanely good.

I was only joking but thanks anyway man haha the second two "??" were meant to be a winking face emoji but system must of changed it oops

 

[Archosaurus]

As the edge ball shows, Dima just got lucky. He should be glad Dan was taking it easy.

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Well, you know the old saying: "Even a broken clock is right two times day!"

 

[Smash or be smashed!]

Yes, Dima seemed a very nice guy and took it more seriously than Waldner when Dan played him. Nevertheless, the postures he takes at the serve start are truly scary...

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

only 2 points ??? hey Dan, you looked like you didn't want to win, you were pushing quite a few times while you had a chance to attack....

 

[Dan]

Agreed, he is a very nice guy and is always laughing and joking around.

At least you got in a quality counterloop haha tricky serves though he has great variation disguise.

Haha that is exactly what I thought! He is so dam good!

thanks Dan (and Dima of course !), I am so happy! It will look nice with my red Dima's shirt

No worries at all Vrael, congratulations! So you already have a Dima tshirt? You have done well

Those elite guys are insanely good.

Its ridiculous!

Completely agree Dima got lucky on this day!

only 2 points ??? hey Dan, you looked like you didn't want to win, you were pushing quite a few times while you had a chance to attack....

I could have attacked more looking back but this was not an easy situation to play my game in I don't think Dima let me play, his placement and variety was so disguised.
