Yea ... I would probalbly have 100% service winners and the match would never end. My serve is decent, but my return is simply awfull.

We are always playing against ourselves--that's why I'm thinking of taking up croquette, those people know how to party!

I have been playing against myself ever since the thread started and we haven't finished a single point yet as we are evenly matched.

Sounds like a Guiness World Record point. Let us know when one of you'zez misses.

I did not too long ago, the first set went to a tiebreak. It was 5-5 and it could've gone either way. I lost the tiebreak and subsequently the second set.

If we were playing equally well that day, I'd call it a draw and ask him to play dubs with me against my favorite opponents. I'd love to see how horrible my game is and who'd be the first to melt down. I already know my own game, so I wouldn't care about singles.

If I cheated me then I would cheat me back, then call for an umpire. Then I would foot-fault to gain an advantage and serve into my body. If the ump called me for foot-faulting, I would get me and me and shove two balls down his f'ing throat. Then me and me woud file a grievance and since it was two against one our team of lawyers would have a slam dunk and win $92,000 from our USTA section and form a foundation and go to Monte Carlo and give clinics to poor rich kids.

Not sure if I were playing myself that I'd like my opponent to read my mind.
  • Positive, he shanks a forehand when he sees the open court because he takes his eye off the ball
  • Positive, I know that hitting high one handed backhands gets under his skin .
  • Even, we both hate lots of side to side baseline rallies.
  • Negative, he knows that kick 2nd serve to the backhand is my money shot.
  • Negative, he knows that when I'll make a kamikaze net rush .

Ten hours later and still counting, we'd be tied 59-59 in the fifth set at Wimby.
