BlackyM - Kyuuji 7-6 (6), 3-6, 6-3
What a stupid match, ping was jumping all around, its supposed to be around 100, but it felt like we are playing on 300-400...only 3rd set was in normal conditions
First set
first I saved 0-40 in first game, then very next game I broke him for 2-0, at 3-0 I had another BP for another break, but he saved it, and immediately broke me for 3-2.
Then at 4-4 lag was getting worse so we agreed to continue later ot the other day. That was 2 days ago.
We finally continued today, and he won his serves without losing a point, while I was struggling, but I managed to get it to tiebreak. Then we won all our points to 7-6 for me....so now he had 14 points on his serve won in a row...and then finally he made a mistake and sent one ball in out, i doubt that I would be able to win any point by myself, so this was huge for me, and I won first set 7-6 (8-6)
Second set
Lag was getting worse yet again, all culminated at 1-2 and my serve, where I saved few break points, then we both agreed to try little bit later. In one moment game just stopped for 20-30 secs, and we both were missing a lot of easy shots.
Half an hour later, we continued and each one of us won one game for 3-3, then I rehosted again, for 10th time, and then game finally got better. And immediately I had 15-40 on his serve, but he saved it. Next game I had 40-0 on my serve, at 40-15 he went in completley wrong side while leaving me open court, I only needed to hit ball inside of it, but I sent It out. After that I couldn't make first serve, he took advantage of it by making 2-3 return winners and broke me for 3-5 lead.
Third set
I opened much better, and found my self ahead in 4-1 lead, then as I always choke I choked again, and let him to catch a rebreak. But then I played really good game on his serve and broke him again for 5-3. In my last game I concentrated on my serve but that almost backfired me, when I had 40-15 lead. by making 2 double faults in a row for Deuce. Fortunately for me next 2 of my serves were aces and I won a match
