Thoughts on the shot by shot system:

It is a TON of dice rolling (I joked that I gave myself tennis elbow just rolling the dice for the endings of 12 games, plus a full 10 point tiebreaker, but hey, I wanted to see at least one epic match under this method, and dang it, I got just that.

Performance Chips played a huge part, in both extending points (both players had them available to convert missed returns into successful points), and ending them (Turning a garden variety return into a shot that auto-wins you the point 2/3ds of the time on Nadal's 3-8, slightly less than that on Hewitt's 2, 4-8,, so having the abilities is still utlra important even in shot by shot mode.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to put some ice on my dice-rolling elbow.. *laughs*
