7-Flags Fitness Center, Clive Iowa - BR goes undefeated as he easily wins his 2nd TowerTennis Championship! The Climatic Event of the 2009 TowerTennis season almost never happened. Reservation mix-ups placed the final match in jeopardy... but with the help of the 7-Flags Tennis Director the match was held as scheduled.After the logistics were secured: BR finds himself down 3-1 in the 1st-set when suddenly he pops a string! Normally, this would be a death sentence, but when BR borrows SV's extra racket... he can't be stopped! BR takes five unanswered games to win the first set 6-3. In the 2nd-set SV leads 2-1. SV is serving and poised to take a 3-1 lead when called for a foot-fault! SV's game then seems disrupted. Late in the 2nd SV pops a string, and recalls his borrowed racket from BR. BR is then forced to play with a backup, but is unaffected by the change in equipment. BR takes five unanswered games to win the match in straight sets 6-3,6-2. BR demonstrates that he can overcome adversity by enduring three racket adjustments during a match, showing that he is a true champion!
