Harmon Park, by Steve England; ESVN (Fair and Balanced) - Curt started this match with impressive ferocity! His serves were explosive, his ground strokes were devastating, and his volleys were like bullets! Curt clearly has a superior game to most players in the tournament. Unfortunately, CD's thermostat limits his time on the court! Curt started showing signs of discomfort early in the 1st-set. Tied at 3-3, CD believes he has a 40-15 lead, when he doesn't hear KB call a shot out! When KB questions the score, the crowd confirms that the call was indeed out. This seemed to be a turning point in the match! Curt never wins another game after this setback! Curt struggles with his discomfort, both taking a medical timeout, and cooling off in air conditioning between sets. Unfortunately, his core was too hot---exasperated by KB running Curt around the court, and after errant balls---CD is forced to retire a mere 2-games into the 2nd-set. KB defeats CD 6-3, 2-0 (retired).
