Olivier Mader (2118) vs. Yosmeli Vadillo (2437)

I think Olivier's defensive skill is really good. But he needs to develop the twiddling skill.....

@wlwlwlhk The difficult part is to know when the right moment to twiddle is.. I can twiddle very well but if I twiddle at the wrong moment, I can get caught by surprise having the wrong side of the racket in front...

I have improved since that match and last time, I almost beat yosmely.. Lost 11:8 in the fifth last year.. I'm now playing stronger and am in the mid 2200's...

There certainly is nothing wrong with Olivier's "game"--the other guy had 300+ rating points on him. The other guy is EXPECTED to take it to him. I saw Yosmeli last year dismantle the former 6-time U.S. men's champion, Danny Seemiller. So, for Olivier to even give him a game is more than what 99.9% of all people could do.

Amazing how once he figured out what your racket was doing to the ball he had no trouble with you....I wonder what that means about your "game"?
