And then, the fifth set. Oh lordy, I thought I’d lose my breath watchin’ it. It was neck-and-neck the whole way through. They kept fightin’ like wildcats, neither one givin’ an inch. And finally, in the tiebreaker—my stars, it went all the way to 10-7 in favor of Ben Shelton. He pulled out the win after three hours of some hard, hard playin’!
