BW survives Schewe 4-6,7-6(7-4),7-5.

KS poised for victory thwarted by BW's special day!  Success breeds more success - at least for BW this is true.  With a major professional certification achieved earlier in the day - what advantage KS was holding slipped away. Slipped away, but not without a fight!
Holding a 1-set lead, but down in the 2nd- KS surges to force a tie-breaker and try to end the match in straight sets.  Leading 4-3 in the breaker, Schewe just can't close it out!  BW fights back to take the lead and slams set-point with authority to win the tie-breaker 7-6(7-4). 
Now tied 1-set all - these two competitors continue to exchange blows! Down 3-4, BW gets a couple favorable netcords to fall his way and suddenly finds himself leading 5-4.  Although Schewe ties in back up at 5-all, he's starting to show signs of fatigue!  BW takes the next two, and with them the match!  BW fends off a formidable assault from KS.  4-6, 7-6(7-4), 7-5!!!
