March 5 John 6-0 6-4
Match time: 1:50
|
| John comes out strong, winning the first set 6-0. Don had points to win on his serve, and break John on his, but Dixie Syndrome set in. John goes up 5-0 in the second, but visions of twin bagels cloud his ability to pull it off, as Don wins 4 in a row. John finally pulls out the victory @ 6-4, knowing that if Don can take it to a 3rd set, it’s likely he will win the match. (Commentary by John) |

|
John continues to dominate in cold weather in this extremely close match. John just managed to hold on and serve out the second set, winning on his fourth match point after having saved 4 break points.
