Pretty boisterous crowd, with both sides having vocal supporters.
After dropping the first set 6-1, did Valpo just win the second 6-4? Or is it only 5-4, with a longish break between games there? Went to 5-5, where it maybe still is...
I watch very little tennis, and don't play. But, the enthusiasm of the crowd is infectious.
Valpo seems to be playing aggressively at times, with two guys up on the net during volleys. I'm surprised they don't run back at all when they get lobbed - maybe the lob shots are moving faster than I realized.
Valpo made a fight of it, at least. Falling 6-1, 7-5. (I really don't understand the scoring... had to win that decisive set by two games, I guess?).
