Archive for Percy896's Tennis Forum This is a new tennis forum to discuss professional tennis, vote and create polls, and ask advice about equipment, fitness, or anything regarding tennis! Now with a new Fantasy Tennis League!
There hasen't been any discussion about this so far, but it starts tommorow!
Who do you think will look the best ahead of the French Open?
I think NEA will do well. He won in Romania, and made a fine run at the WS-Serena. I also think Tricatrina can make good runs as Child is not always at her best during this time, and Yodavitch hates the clay. If there's a time for Tricatrina to make her move, it is right now!
I have made the next part of my schedule aswell if anyone is interested:
Day 11: No Tournament
Day 12: Gaudio Grand Prix
Day 13: Coria Claycourt Masters
Day 14: No Tournament
Day 15: Henin-Hardenne Open
Day 16: Nadal Clay Championships
Day 17: No Tournament
Day 18: French Open
Day 19: No Tournament
Day 20: No Tournament
Day 21: Roddick Open
Day 22: Grosjean Grasscourt Classic
Day 23: Wimbledon

I dont remember my schedule, but I know I am playing in the lopez clay premier tomorrow.

I am playing the Tier III tomorrow, Indonesia I think, then Gaudio. A short break followed by Myskina, Henin and Nadal! Nice run to the French Open! Myskina Henin and Nadal may well define my season; I will hopefully finally prove my worth on clay, winning at least one of those, but I highly doubt it as of yet...

I never thought I'd see the day when dirtballer NEA ever played a hardcourt event after the clay season had started.
I can't remember my schedule off the top of my head (my grass schedule in the only one I have committed to memory, four events sadly).
PSALT
I got it now. I play all three Tier I's in prep for the French. That's all. However, if I have a bad transition to clay (as in getting no farther than the quarters) I will switch Nadal and instead try to defend my title in Kuwait that same day.
Agassi2000
At the moment here's my list for who's playing the best (as of day 10):
1. Child
2. Yodavitch
3. Stevos
4. NEA
5. Jbors
6. Dave
7. Jennacourt
8. PSALT
9. Aztec
10. Stroganoff

I'm going to be dropping one tournament (I didn't notice that three in a row). Depends on how my form is....

I see PSALT is currently leading the poll created by percy! V and I have 1 vote each, P has 2, I am sure it is only a matter of time before "Trinky" starts flooding in the votes...

Three in a row is fine, I do it all the time, and it hasn't hurt me. As long as you dont go 3 in a row, one day rest, 3 in a row.

That is what I am doing, I did it last season a couple of times too! It doesn't really make a difference unless you have SF/F runs at your tournaments, if I do I will pull out of one.

It doesn't realistically, last year you were picked for the Aussie and managed to get to the Final! Sometimes it does and it seems like you are jinxed, but really it is hard not to pick you sometimes. I certainly think you will have a massive claycourt season and I think you will get your first Grand Slam title at the French!
Vanessa seems to think you are dangerous PSALT!

I hope so. Selfish it may be, but I could not stand not being the second member with a Slam with all my finals! I'm turning into a Mauresmo! 5 seasons from now all of you will be successful 'Legends' and I will always be the bridesmaid, never the bride!!! that sounded really dumb!

Lol I doubt it somehow, I haven't even managed a Tier I but I am hoping both will come this claycourt season. Given my stats I am the best suited to clay but really it hasn't QUITE come to fruition yet!
It is tough to call because people just have random runs at Grand Slams and it is possible that another member outside of the "frontrunners" will take a Grand Slam title next>>>>I wouldn't be surprised at anything happening.

Even if Harriet won?

I changed my schedule. I pulled out of the Henin-Hardenne Open, switched from the Nadal Clay Championships in favor of defending my Kuwait title, and entered the Egyptian-whatever.

I personally would advise you to just stick with the Teir Is... you usually do well in them, and losing in the quarterfinal at a Teir I is practically worth more than winning such a low-level tournament.

I would as well, in terms of race ranking, get in as many tier 1's as possible! I changed from Myskina to Henin-Hardenne for that reason, it is very important.
Although of course I don't want you to beat me so by all means play Kuwait!
PSALT
I want confidence, I won't get it from a Tier I quarter. I am not better in Tier I's than any one else. Slams seem to be the only place that my level of play seems to rise.

Clay is my worst surface. I have only 1 win in 8 events. The win came last year in Golovin and was not even able to defend my measly points today.
My question is the following: If one enters events and only gets to only play one and out in each event, does this mean that after 3 events he must sit out for a mandatory rest? I mean it is only 3 matches...

OK, I should have said "recommended" rest. Anyhow, do you think it would be a good idea to sit out a couple of events if you just keep loosing in the first round, or enter as many events as possble in order to win?
Anyhow, I entered the Holland event which is hard court and I feel good that I get a W again

He won a title and got to the semis (I think) of a tier 1 or 2.

all that I could find was him getting to a Tier III final in Indonesia, on hardcourts.
stevos14
He won the Hewitt Hardcourts.
Agassi2000
He won a tier 4 I know, and he definately did well in a big tourny. I remember he beat Dave and someone else good in really close matches.

yes. I was talking about backing that up with another good performance.

Ok I don't know where dave is (he said he had been busy lately), but there are some articles which need to be written now, or they will be overly irrelevant. Stevos, could you take over for writting some article on Williams Series Serena and Child winning both? That is a really big deal and really needs an article.

No, he just wrote an article for WS Venus and Child defending, but winning both is much bigger news.
That's alright, I understand. Anyone want to try out writing an article?
I need to check what my next event is.
that sounded really dumb!
