Day 40 TournamentsIt's absolutely packed, the Vaidisova Grand Prix. Eight out of ten Top 10 players are playing. Here are the match-ups.
Jennacourt vs. Adelaide
x.doublea vs. Valkyrie
Agassi2000 vs. Phobe
PSALT vs. Yodavitch
J-Man vs. John Edelstein
N_E_A vs. Sheila
Dave vs. Ying-Chang
stevos vs. Vanessa Child
|
PSALT
|
I got a pretty good draw, but not easy by any means. Yodavitch could be tricky, as could Phobe.
The bottom half of the draw is mouthwatering though!

1) Jennacourt
2) Doublea
3) Phobe
4) PSALT
5) JoJo
6) NEA
7) Dave

Damn I got John in the first round

NEA said his Tier III final might be hard to defend, he was right. To defend those points he needs atleast a semi here, then he would gain three points. Dave really has a shot here to make a move, he needs to take advantage of it.

Oh yes, sorry

Yep, I think it is official now: dav PSALT and Phobe will be the three to make the YEC. Everything is all of a sudden stacking up against me and I ain't pleased! Phobe miraculously plays well? I feel like breaking someones neck...

Have fun here guys! I'm taking a break after my 3 in a row.

Dont feel bad, I got child! Im not as stressed though, seeing as it is impossible for me to get into the YEC. But I'd still like to do well nonetheless.

Well I'm not trying to admit defeat when I say this but it's going to be close to impossible for me to get into YEC.

I just realized, if I make the semi's I will pass Trinky for world #5. it will not happen however, so I will speak no more of it.

I will have to calculate tournaments now, or after 8:30. I think everyone would rather me do them now, so unfortunately I don't think PSALT's preview will be out in time.
|
PSALT
|
well, I was right, I lost to Yodavitch. I won't lose points however, and Phobe lost first round so I should stay where I'm at. Yodavitch is in the final though, so it wasn't a horrible loss.
I think NEA booked a spot in the YEC by making the semi's. I will now have a day off before I try and defend my final.

Well that was an interesting turnout for the books! Very unexpected. Still think dav, Phobe or I could all lose; PSALT is the only secure one. And I still think it is probably going to be me. x.doublea perhaps strengthened his cause and he may actually come out of nowhere to get into the top 8! This is really heating up now...

I don't think he will. I think you have a 200 or something lead over him. the only way is if he wins the upcoming Tier I.

I made it to the finals of Austria Tennis Trophy and lost 7-5,6-2 to Mollusk. That is a pretty good showing for me being my 3rd tournament in a row. I don't mind losing to the 12th ranked player in the World in the finals.
|

Well, a semifinal is not bad for my cause, but I can't believe I lost to the ranking-wise out-and-out Yodavitch!

I had match point against the world number 2, no shame there.

I have no idea how this rivalry can be so scrappy this early!

Playing the world #2 is no excuse for a loss stevos. I mean, I beat the world #1 and world #3....

I've had big wins too, beating Dave and PSALT early in my career, when they had considerable leads in training and experience.
Who'd you lose to today? The world #12. Thats what I thought.

I will use it all for Berlin, I was interviewing Dave, but it's been a day and I haven't got it back so I will interview someone else.

previews out. a longer than usual interview section, and I just despise the preview as a whole. it's both badly written, and badly organized. the next one will be better.

Me neither, since when was Yodavitch big headed?

I understood it to be great success followed by poor play for a long time. Yodavitch won the AO, then has won two tournaments since (I believe).

More than that. He has one at least three since his comeback before Wimbledon, and already had one or two previously.

Amazing... Yodavitch in another final vs. Bizet.
|
Not_Even_Amateur

Well Berlin was a boring tournament really. Yodavitch beat dav in the QF, putting the YEC in my hands rather than his, and Bizet beat leftys in the SF. Good to see leftys getting a bit of form and consistency at the end of the season; expecting big things from her next year!

Congrats Benchwarmer, PSALT and Yodavitch! PSALT your place is secure in the YEC and I would put you down as second favourite to win it behind only Child! It is now a fight between dav, Phobe and myself. We cannot include Trictrina can we?

I do think it is between you three. Doublea could possibly still sneak in there, but it would need to be behind performances of his life time in France and Canada.

I can still statistically get in..it'll be tough, but it's possible.

Shoot. Me. Now.
PSALT, I agree your preview wasn't your best work. Maybe you got overflooded with such great stuff to work with, because there was so much there for you to run with. I was expecting way more jokes at my expense, and I was dissapointed (seriously!).
And btw, Jbors is a complete liar when he says I cry in the phone to him. I have not called him at all since that text, and I can't believe he would make up such a phony story, just to bring me down.

When I say it was bad Stevos, your supposed to say "I liked it P!" or something along those lines.....
I was very flooded with the interviews. I had to use Dave's because too many of the question deal with passing NEA in the rankings. I had promised to use the Jbors-Stevos story, and I wanted to do Leftys so I can focus the last two previews on YEC chasers (NEA, ect.). I was also very tired when I wrote it. There it is though, my next one will be better.

Oh, I thought it was entertaining and good, but I also felt you have done much better too. Liked it a lot anyway

Great job to everybody who won today!

Okay PSALT I am confused, and I have already pmed you about this but that hasnt been working. I haven't been trained since day 38, yet I've sent training for 39, 40, and 41 all on time. This isnt fair because it should have gone into my tournament today, and could've made a difference. I'm sure it was probably an accident but I'd appreciate it if you could add those points please, my last three trainings are currently sitting in my sent folder, not opened yet.

Hey Benchwarmer! Nice title win to carry you into next season with confidence. Congratulations!
I am now officially the only member who is without a title. However, I rested today and expect to be in prime form as I am getting ready for the last tier IV of the season in Palermo Cicily. Leftys is seeded No 1 and I expect to meet her or Benchwarmer in an in all members final and come out a winner!!!
