Togtdyalttai(1) def. JHON-DIM(11) 7-5 6-4
This was a really high quality match. There were no breaks in the first set until 5-5 on his serve. He had had set points in the previous game but I came up with some good shots to save them. I think the break points for me in the penultimate game of the set were the first of the match for me but he had quite a few before and didn't convert. I didn't have much trouble serving out the set after that.
Then in the second set I carried my momentum through and broke him to start the set. Although he had a lot of chances again, he wasn't able to break me. I had a couple match points at 5-3 but couldn't convert them, I was a bit tight at that point and gave up some points I shouldn't have, but it didn't matter. Then he had chances to break when I was serving for the match, and I was a little tight again, but I stepped it up when it mattered.
I was just a little better than him in the crucial moments, but this match really could've gone either way.
