I feel your pain. I'm the king of losing a 4-1 lead to let the set slip away, and the master of being on the losing end of a 16-14 tiebreak.

Congrats, though, on your high level of play!

Thanks. I think part of my issue is how usually in USTA .5 above or below is not much. I can play a 4.5 guy and hold my own and not go setless. 5.0 - whole different ballgame. I'd need to quit my job or at least play 3 times a week to eventually get just a set. The pain was that it was there, I could taste it, and then I became the Fabrice Santoro to his Roger Federer. Not going to happen. I saw it in his eyes and his concentration. He was saying, he isn't winning this set. I said back with my eyes, you bet I am.....then it just unravelled. Someday I'd like the accolades I got from the audience to mean that I at least took him to 3 sets. Just give me one damn set

Glad that others relate.
