I didn't do that great in competition, i had really only two or three wins i can really be proud of, some defeats i can be proud of as well like going to the fifth when i was a huge underdog, or losing to a youngster who won the tournament. nearly every point was awesome and had applause from the crowd alas i didn't make a movie.

in training matches however i had some really good wins. i remember one going down from 4-10 saving 6 match points against a guy who was really good, i still don't know how i beat him ! same scenario against another guy playing with anti rubber...

or beating some very good guys i had never beaten before. or 2 weeks ago beating this youngster (who's still better than me) 3 nil landing all attacks, blocks and counters on the table... that was awesome. no movie alas !

I feel like I play better than i ever played ( thats the least i can expect after spending so much time and money with those head to head lessons). i just hope to see more results in competition and win some spectacular games. because i don't play only for just winning, i like to win nice rallies , play tricky shots as well. :)

Sometimes winning from a big deficit feels like more of an achievement than beating a higher level opponent, doesn't it? :)

One match this season I was 2-0 , 10-6 down and somehow won. It is a fantastic feeling.

i think the 1st guy in question was better level than me. i played above my average level this day, and i came back with my serves only. then as i came back he started to panic...as it was the last set. he was still young so a bit fragile mentally.

for the guy with anti rubber our level was closer, that was actually only the 3rd set. i had lost the 2nd quite easily. once i got this set, he really collapsed mentally and i felt really confident, i crushed him in the 4th to win 3-1.

i think it was this year, not last (not 100% sure...), where i got my worst defeat, beaten something like -5 -3 -0 (!!!)
not that i played THAT bad, the guy was just too good for me, and several levels above. and i couldn't convert the few chances that i had to even score a point in the last game. the guy just didn't make any unforced errors, played a step back from the table, and was blocking, fishing, attacking...anyway he just crushed me.

I came back from being down 2:10 couple of weeks ago at US Open (still lost the match :mad:), but that's something to remember.

My best win was in the unsanctioned teams tournament against the guy who's currently ~2100 in our league - came back from 2:8 and 6:10 in the 5th.

I had some nice wins, but nothing spectacular. The biggest win is getting from ~28% win ratio in league last season to ~72% currently (beating some players I never won against before). All thanks to training camp in denmark during summer break (B75). Didn't have time to practice a lot after that, so there is no other explenation.

I had one "great" loss before summer agains young kid from Poland that is top300 U18 in ittf ranking. I managed to take him to 5th set and he even congratualted me and said that we need to play again because he "can't leave it like that" :D
