point-ending shots when Don was serving at 5-6
to earn the only break in the third set.

John 10 Don 4
May
22 John 6-2 6-2
Match time: 1:35
 |
|
Don usually does well in a morning match, but
today he could hardly hit a ball without
succumbing to the Dixie reflex - needless to say
John had not trouble keeping Don on his heels.
(Commentary by Don) |
John 9 Don 4
| May 19 John 6-1 3-6 7-5 Match time: 2:40 |
|
John overpowered Don in the first set, but Don
found found his rhythm to take the second.
Danny thought Don had the upper hand due to the
fatigue factor, but John unloaded on
key point to earn a break at 5-5 in the third.

12 John 6-1 7-6(7-5)
Match time: 1:53
|
|
Don restrung both of
John's rackets just before the match, but John
only needed one to dominate the first
set in 37 minutes. The second set took
1:16 and could have gone either way, but John
played more aggressively to get the first and
only mini-break in the tiebreaker at 5-5

John 7 Don 4
May
10 Don 6-1 6-3
Match time: 1:45
 |
|
Don comes away w/ a easy win, on this
partially windy afternoon match. John once again
breaks a string, and has to use Don’s spare
[which he did well w/ last match]. However, it was all Don
this match. Don keeps John on a string, running
him side to side, not allowing him to be on the
offensive. And when John did try to end the
point by coming to net, Don came up w/ the goods
w/ crisp passing shots, or lobs just out of
reach for John to put away. Danny Cam was there,
and he said it was best he had ever seen Don
play, which John concurs.

John 7 Don 3
May
8 John 6-0 6-3
Match time: 2:05
 |
| John shakes off his last two losses by steam rolling Don after a week and a half of rain. John broke a string in the second game, but didn't have his own spare racket - Don feigned reluctant to offer his own spare racket since the last time John borrowed it produced a similar thumping. Don is almost hoping John stays with the oversize lightweight racket... (Commentary by Don) |
John 6 Don 3
| Apr. 27 Don 6-1 4-6 6-1 Match time: 2:15 |
| Don wins the 1st set easily, and was up 4-1 in the 2nd set, before John got in his groove, winning the next 5 games to take the 2nd set. Don then wins the 1st game in the 3rd set, denying John’s VB. The remainder of the 3rd set was a “Don Highlight Reel” as he was [channeling Agassi] dictating the points, painting the lines, and running John side to side. (Commentary by John) |
John 6 Don 2
| Apr.
24 Don 6-1 7-6(7-2) Match
time: 1:40
|
| Don wins in straight sets in our 1st morning match of the season. He earns the coveted hula girl for going Hawaiian (5-0), despite John trying his best to derail him. The 2nd set was hard fought, w/ Don denying 4 set points that John had, to take it to a deciding 3rd set. (Commentary by John) |
John 6 Don 1
| Apr.
17 John 6-4 6-0 Match
time: 1:30
|
| John storms back from his loss, winning easily despite a promising warm-up and first set from Don. But Don could find no traction in the second set as John dominated with controlled aggression. Don had four break points when John served for 5-0, as well as a couple game points when serving to avert the bagel, but John decided he wanted a real bagel more than a virtual bagel with a side of hula girl. (Commentary by Don) |
John 5 Don 1
| Apr. 11 Don 6-7(7-4) 6-3 7-5 Match time: 3:15 |
| Don finally gets on the scoreboard w/ a win! He premeditated his best chance of winning by treating John to a buffet right before the match [knowing John’s weakness for grazing]. John takes the first set tie-breaker in the wind fest, but Don comes right back taking the second 6-3. The third set, and match was up for grabs to whoever had the wheels and focus to persevere. Don saved 4 match points @ 4-5, and John saved two @ 5-6, but Don gets the win on his third match point. (Commentary by John) Editor's note: Don says "Nobody beats me 7 times in a row." |
John 5 Don 0
| Apr. 5 John 6-3 6-7(8-6) 6-3 7-5 Match time: 2:55 |
| John wins again in another long match. Don saved 5 match points in the second set (3 on John's server at 5-4 and two more in the tiebreaker), but John was able to move Don enough to take his legs before losing his own (a whole lot of running was going on). (Commentary by Don) |
John 4 Don 0
| Apr. 2 John 6-2 7-5 Match time: 1:45 |
| John wins the first set easily in gale force winds. Don had chances to go up in the second set, but couldn't hit through the wind with enough power to keep John off the net. (Commentary by Don) |
John 3 Don 0
| Mar. 31 John 3-6 6-1 6-3 Match time: 2:55 |
| John wins again on a windy day as Don runs out of gas in the third (John was close to cramping, but managed to conceal the pain in the closing game) (Commentary by Don) |
John 2 Don 0
| Mar.
24 John 6-2 4-6 6-4 Match
time: 2:35
|
| John came out firing big as usual, taking the first set easily and going up 4-3 in the second. But Don found his rhythm and took the next six games for a virtual bagel and a 3-0 lead in the third. Faced with the imminent specter of Don going Hawaiian or even full bagel, John found the energy to pull out a win in the third. (Commentary by Don) |
John 1 Don 0
| Mar. 22 John 6-3 6-2 Match time: 1:45 |
| John starts the new season with a comfortable win. Don had many opportunities to break John throughout the match, but John denied them all with power in control, winning the first set on a single break (usually the first set is a breakathon). (Commentary by Don) |
