Well-played Vik and it's only a matter of time until you break through and pick up some big wins to reach 2000 and higher! Your opponent clearly adjusted strategy to playing more defensively and steady in the last two games after your blocks and twiddling caused him to make several hitting errors. If I knew you were about to face anti-spin that morning I would've been happy to help warm you up too. It's awesome that you're traveling to different tournaments and gaining lots of good experience so that you become more and more prepared for all styles of play! -Kyle
Thanks Kyle! I think I got caught up in the heat of the moment, especially after going up 5-2 game 5--I was shocked that I was doing that well and wasn't able to think super clearly about Vinay's tactical adjustment. I think as I get more experience and confidence that problem'll go away. I know I didn't warm up with you that day, but I have you to thank for most of my anti spin experience, Kyle!
Thanks! I'm using tibhar Grass dtecs ox right now. I think you're right--I was a little too hasty trying to finish the match, and should've kept my cool and played more patiently.
Vinay is not a #1 anti spin player in the US, Dan Seemiller probably is
does dan seemiller still compete? I was thinking currently active players

Much more exciting than I expected despite the rating disparity. Well done.
