2007 Winter Season Tennis Scores
(spring equinox to summer solstice )

These scores really don't have anything to do with Spectrum's business - they are the scores of friendly matches played between Don and John in an attempt to stay reasonably fit.  The season winner earns a lunch at the local Chinese buffet.
Commentary by Don unless noted.

Spring 2007 matches:  John 19  Don 4  


Note: Hover on Bagel () or Virtual Bagel () icons for more information about a specific bagel.

June 21  John  6-3  6-4    Match time: 1:40  

John closes the season with another win as Don couldn't find an answer to John's power.  Don was up 3-1, but John came up with a virtual bagel.  John even won the optional third set...

18-4

June 16  John  3-6  6-3  6-4    Match time: 2:45  

John wins again in what was a high level match (for us).  Both players were made excellent gets and were placing the ball well, but Don missed a couple keys points in the third.

17-4

June 14  John  6-2  7-6(7-5)    Match time: 1:45  

Don saved 4 match points to get into a second set tiebreaker, but couldn't close out the set as John pads his 4-1 ratio with another win.. 

16-4

June 11  John  4-6  6-3 7-5  Match time: 2:30  

John attains the dreaded 4-1 ratio after Don drops a match point on a Dixie error.  Both players were making excellent gets throughout the match, but in the third set John hit running winners from each side on approach shots Don had placed going away in the corners.

15-4

June 8  John  6-3 6-2  Match time: 1:15  

John makes short work of Don with blistering forehands and slice shots on a tee that gave Don way too much time to him them into the net...

14-4

June 6  John  7-6(7-4)  6-4  Match time: 2:10  

John ekes out another win as the flying flip flop circus on the next court destroyed any chance of either player staying focused.  Don did pretty good tracking down John's overhead shots, saving a total of 4 in one particularly long point that ended when John's fifth overhead went into the fence.  Not long after the triple f circus departed a park visitor suffered a seizure requiring an ambulance...

13-4

June 4  John  6-3  7-6(7-5)  Match time: 1:45  

Don was in this match all the way, but John racks up another win cracking big serves, backing them up at net and basking in the warmth of benevolent net cord gods.

12-4

May 25  Don  6-2  3-6  6-3  Match time: 2:10   

Don won the first set easily but John came back to take the second and go up 2-0 in the third before Don got back to business by winning five in a row (John saved a point for vb)

12-3

May 23  John  6-4  4-6  7-6(7-4)  Match time: 3:00   

John stages a comeback from 1-4 in the third set to force a tiebreaker.   Don had chances but couldn't put it away.

12-3

May 21  John  6-4  6-4  Match time: 1:45    

John dealt better with the distraction of the three ring circus on the next court.  John used all he had to close it in straight sets and would have been easy pickings if Don taken it to three.

10-3

May 18  Don  6-4  6-2  Match time: 1:25    

Don recovers from a break down in the first set to finally stop the runaway Mace train...

10-2

May 14  John  6-4  3-6  6-1  Match time: 2:10    

John wins again despite a good showing by Don in the second set.  Most games in the first set went to deuce multiple times and several had 6-10 deuces, but John came away with the first set on the strength of the only service hold.  The third set was all John and his magic self-aiming overpowered el-mondo grosso racquet (somehow, the wind seemed to be at John's back no matter which side of the court he was on...)

9-2

May 9  John  5-7  6-4  6-2  Match time: 3:00    

Don saved 11 set points on the way to a come from behind virtual bagel in the first set, but John (aka Mr. Net-man) held on to win yet another match, this time without the wind to help...

8-2

May 6  John  7-5  7-5 Match time: 2:20  

John continues his string of straight set wins as Don continues to struggle with the Dixie syndrome and the wind factor

7-2

May 2  John  6-2 6-4  Match time: 2:00  

John wins again in straight sets as the wind was once again his friend (somehow the wind always seemed to be mostly at John's back, no matter which side of the court he was on).  Don made a mini comeback from 4-1 to 4-4 in the second, but all for naught

6-2

Apr. 27  John  6-1 7-6  Match time: 2:00  

John wins again in straight sets on another very windy day.  The first set took much longer than the score would indicate as both players made excellent gets resulting in long points and long games.  Don served for the second set but John was antsy to get on the road and stepped up his game to break.  At 3-3 in the tiebreaker Don hit an overhead that John half volleyed from the baseline for a passing shot winner, after which it was all John...

5-2

Apr. 17  John  6-1 6-2  Match time: 1:35 

John takes a commanding lead in the spring season after powering his way to another win on a windy day.  Don showed a few signs of life early in the second set, but couldn't adapt to both the wind and John's power,

4-2

Apr. 10  John  3-6  7-5  6-2  Match time: 2:45 

Don controlled the match to take the first set and go up 5-2 in the second.  On his first match point (serving at 5-3) Don made the mistake of playing a ball that was a little long after John made a jaw dropping get.  Don gave up another match point overhitting a put away, and next thing you know John had won the second set and was swinging free.   John easily won the third set by overpowering Don (apparently his racket helps aim the bal, according to the literature..).

3-2

Apr. 2  John  6-1  6-4  Match time: 1:30

John made short work of the first set on this very windy day.  Don had points for 5-5 in the second, but John used the extra power of his new Flexpoint to close out the match in straight sets.

2-2

Mar. 28  Don  4-6  7-5  6-3  Match time: 3:10

We played two sets on Mar. 28 before John had to go to jury duty.  John too the fist and was up a break in the second, but Don realized he could go all out in the second because the third set would be delayed.  Don came out strong on Mar. 30 to take the third set.

2-1

Mar. 27  John  6-4  7-5  Match time: 2:00

John wins again in straight sets.  Rain delayed the match early in the first set, after which Don went up 4-2 only to see John win 4 in a row to take the set.  Don was up in the second 4-2 and even had a set point at 5-4, but John prevailed.

1-1

Mar. 25  John  6-2  3-6  6-1  Match time: 2:00

John easily wins this relatively short 3 set match as Don's bad habits reasserted themselves in force.  John won 5 in a row after Don took the opening game.  Don made adjustments and came back to win the second set, but John dominated net in the third set to go Hawaiian (5-0), coming within two points of bagel.   

1-0

Mar. 22  Don  7-6(10-8)  6-4  Match time: 2:30     

Don takes the first match of the new season as swirling wind befuddles both players.  Don saved 5 set points before finally taking the first set.  John went up 2-0 in the second before Don ran of 5 in a row.  John saved virtual bagel and got back in the second set before Don closed it out.  If you missed last season's results click here...
