Very similar thing happened to me one time,
After I won I felt like I was on top of the world
Came back from 0-5 down to win a set

I once played a match at the center court of my clinic in the quarterfinals. There was a huge crowd, all rooting for me surprisingly, because my opponent was a dick. After saving numerous match points, I ended up winning 7-5 in a deuce. My opponent then smashed his racquet.
It was a total Rafa Nadal fist pump moment for me.

Well I'm not an adult.
But the most recent match I played, I feel I just have to share.
My opponent was like a mini Ivo Karlovic on serves, with decent groundstrokes, although nothing particularily flashy. He served up ace after ace, and I couldn't return them. After a particularily slow start on my first service game (two double-faults and two horrible unforced errors), I got uncharacteristically angry, and the emotion clouded my judgement. I played similarily to Haas in the fourth set against Federer at the '09 French Open.
Match Score: 0-6, 0-5
On the changeover, serving to stay in the match, I thought to myself if this was how I wanted to end the match. And happily enough, I managed to calm myself. After a routine service hold, I moved on to the hard part: breaking Mini-Ivo. Playing calmly and collectively, I saved two match points from 40-15 to go to deuce, and managed to get the break after missing three opportunities and saving three more match points. After that, the set was as good as over- my opponent was the one who got emotional, and I won it 7-5.
My opponent as good as gave me the second set, so I decided not to waste my opportunity. After hold after hold, we went into the final third set tiebreak. I managed to get the minibreak early, and up 6-2, gave up two points on his serve. Another double fault brought the score to 6-5. As I stepped up to the line, I stopped for a moment and wiped my mind of all emotion. Then I served the flat heater up the T to win the match!
Biggest turnaround I ever played.

I choked a 5-0 lead before but I managed to win it 7-6.
One time I played such a high quality match and the other guy aced me about 16 times in this match but I managed to win it in two tie-break 7-0 and 7-1!

I have lost the first set 0-6 and come back to win the match before.
My fave set though was coming back from down 0-6 in a tiebreak to win the tiebreak 8-6.

I saw that happen in a match between 2 Spaniards probably 2 years ago. I think it may have been Robredo and Ferrer.

I had to eat my first bagel the other day too. It came very close to being a double bagel (0-5 in the second set) before I managed to scrape out a few games and salvage a small shred of dignity.

Recently had a match where we came back from 0-4 in the first set. Won 6 in a row and took it 6-4.
Then came back from 1-4 in the second set. Won four in a row to get to 5-4. Ended up 6-6 and we won 7-1 in the tie breaker.
Talk about a momentum swings! I guess we just like drama...

I was almost on the wrong end of one of these comebacks in my singles league.
Playing pro sets, I was up 5-0 and proceeded to lose the next four games.
I just hit the wall, warmed up too long before my match started and I was spent.
I somehow put together enough to win the next three to win 8-4, but for a while there I thought I was going to have a "match to remember that you don't want to."
