played one this weekend and won the consolation draw (final) 3-6, 7-6 (5), 1-0 (6)
lost first set quickly because i was tired from the day before...second set looked to be the same. was down 3-5 and he had two match points and i saved them both to get to 4-5. my service game came to 15-40 at 4-5 and he had another two match points and i saved them both as well. brought it up to 5-5. went down 5-6 and was down 30-40 and saved that match point. i faced 3 other match points in that game and saved them. at 6-6 we played the tiebreak and it was all me...all i had to do was play consistently and vary my depth and it eventually threw off his groove. and 3rd set tiebreak he called 2 balls clearly in, out and had another two match points. i then aced him once and got a service winner to get to 6-6 and it kinda played it self out from there. anyways the match lasted about 3 1/2 hours. probably one of the hardest matches i've won but anyone else had a good comeback before

I lost the first set 6-3 and i was playing my heart out. Come the second set I got down 3-0, then came through and won that set 6-3. 10 point tie break, I hit a couple of winners and get cocky. I make 3 unforced errors, he serves and ace and hits a winner. I make a couple more unforced errors to make the score 7-2. At this point, I was getting mad at myself, so I went all out. I served 2 aces, 2 service winners, and double faulted once, making it 8-6. I rushed the net 3 times, won all three on pressure, and played a long rally for match point, where I hit the ball behind him after I worked him into the corner on an inside-out forehand. Final score: 3-6 6-3 10-8. First match i ever won in a tournament.

I recently beat a kid that pulled off the craziest comeback ever in a tournament where he beat me. This kid was down 1-6 0-5 who came back to win it, 1-6 7-5 6-1. Everyone was like WHAT?!

just this weekend i made a pretty nice comback even though i was playing really crappy i was down a set and 4-0 and won.
My best is probably down a set and 5-2 40-15, and won that set 7-5 then won 6-0 in the third set.

I just played the semis yesterday and I was 2-6,6-4,8-3 down and came back to win. The final score was 2-6,6-4,11-9. I had to save 1 match point at 9-8. Amazing first victory for me.
Unfortunatelly I played against a better opponent today and I lost easily 6-0,6-1. Im just happy I won a game!
