AVEZZANO TOURNAMENT...LOST AGAIN THE FINAL, BUT I COULD WIN!!!

Some weeks before the tournament:
After the bad "C" category I would like to "leave a sign" in this wrong season... and I can do that if I really want to react!...Now I have to find the right stimulation and demonstrate to myself that the tiger is still not finished.... I have only few weeks in order to prepare well this tournament where last year I lost in final and at least I want to do the same result....go go tiger, believe in it!!!

Avezzano Tournament results:

13/06/2004
This match has been the reasume of all my season... I had the possibility to win, but in the very important moments something incredible happened to me everytime.... I could say that someone in the sky didn't want my victory because I really was not hable to do an important point. In the first set the score was 4-4 (30-30), but I failed the possibility to win the set.....in the second set I was winning 4-1 and I had 2 ball to win 5-2, but also this time I was not so aggressive and lucky.... It is hard to lose 2 final in 2 years... and also this time I had to leave the 250 euro and win only 130 euro....

I'm not happy about my play and also about the racket... I think for this year I cannot recovery the right condition both psicological and phisical... I will play the Avezzano tournament day by day but honestly I don't think I can do a miracle... I miss something that is possible to find only playing a lot of hard matches. The only positive thing today is the service....I sterted to serve with some slice and I was more regular.
M. - Alberto Iarossi = 7-5 6-1

Today I played for the second time with the new racket Head intelligence... It was not so bad...it is easy to menage but I need to be always very concentrate because with the light racket needs to hit the ball very well... The only bad thing I have with this racket is that I'm still not able to serve very well....I need to put a lot of strenght....the next time I will try to serve in slice....Today I was concentrate and angry... I want to win the next tournament for many reason and I want to prepare it well at least under the psicological point of view.

Last Friday finally I bought the new racket...I chose the Head intelligence.. Today I tryed it with Valerio....but to be honest it didn't convinced me to much... it is to light...it seems like a toy and I have to be always very concentrate to avoid mistakes...and anyway the ball doens't take a lot of speed....maybe I bought the wrong racket, but now I have to forget this and try to do the best in the Avezzano tournament.
M. - Valerio Antonosante = 6-4
