Feb. 24 John 6-1 6-7(3-7) 8-6 Match time: 3:15 |
| After nearly a month of cold weather we decided 40 degrees was warm enough to play. John took the first set easily but Don worked his way into the match in the second set after being down a break early in the set. Don had points for 3-0 in the third, but John took the game and four more to go up 5-2. Don saved 5 match points while winning 4 in a row to go up 6-5. For some absurd reason we decided to play games rather than a tiebreaker (even though both of us were dragging). |

Jan. 27 Don 6-1 2-6 7-5
Match time: 2:45
|
| Don went Gonzo in a good way (footwork and hitting to the corners) to win the first set and go up 2-0 in the second. Then Don began channeling the old Gonzo (over hitting) while John settled down and picked up his net game. The third set was up for grabs, but Don managed to break at 5-5, retrieving an overhead smash at net with with an overhead block-shot lob to the corner to get to break point. |

Jan. 4 Don 6-4 6-3 Match time: 2:00 |
| Don comes away w/ the win on this first match of 07. His serve has picked up over the last few matches. Also, his ground strokes are deeper w/ more pace, keeping John from coming to net as much as he would like to. This combination is leading to longer points, rallies, and games. Both players agree that we played our longest point, and longest game in this match [longest point was not in our longest game]. Don seemed to have “extra hustle” today, getting to balls John thought were going to be point ending shots. John knows it’s going to take more than new shoes this season to have a edge on Don.
