So Nadalesque def me 6/1 6/4, and first of all congrats on the title im sure it wont be the last
Now the point of this is very simple, and i created this not just because of this last match cuz this feeling inside of me has already been growing for months, and i have even talked with some guys about it.. Said that i just have one question to ask- Who here feels, that in this last months has been unfairly defeat by someone just because there connection has high ping? (my connection isnt great but it allows me to play with almost everyone with a ping below 170/180)
Now if u notice the guys becoming the top players are the ones with the worst connection, and i have discussed this with several people and they agree..i mean before to be the best u needed the best movement and to have a varied game, using spins, slices, angles, net and accelarations.. Now what i see is in some players just hit accelarations, and then an angle cross court which is impossible to reach with high ping, other just net, and others just net and spin.. Plus returning a winner is impossible cuz the outcome will problably will be and error..
So i wonder WTF happen? i mean yesterday i beat Crete which is the best all rounded player at the time and today i can´t even take a set at Nadalesque that cant barely move?( im sorry dude but ur movement isnt that great, but this applys to almost every player with high ping who are in one side of the court and then appear on the other side hiting a winner)
Concluding i just remain with the thought, whats the difference of us winning with LR and losing against some (used by months or years of practice) to such a connection?
I think i said what many are thinking but didnt had the courage to say
Anyway congrats once again Nadalesquece and GL..
