Midwest Sports Charity Open: Day 2 Results (Evening)

The evening session of Day 2 featured some of the tournament's most stirring moments thus far.  Needless to say, there was some exquisite tennis on full display.

Leading off the evening, Snoopy overcame a slow start to defeat Ziggy, 5-7 6-2 6-3.  With the first set on Ziggy's favorite surface, Ziggy raced ahead, demonstrating his nimble feet and sliding prowess on the red clay.  Once they transitioned to grass, however, Snoopy's dominance emerged.  Apart from saving two break points early in the third, Snoopy was never seriously challenged in the final two sets, as he secured the victory with one of his signature aces.

In the nightcap, Mickey Mouse stirred the passions of the Centre Court crowd with a heart-pounding 6-3 7-6(5) victory over Spongebob Squarepants.  After Mickey wrapped up a routine first set with solid play from both wings, both players settled in for a legendary second set on grass.  As Mickey and Spongebob exchanged holds, the tension built, and the shots became more daring and extraordinary.  The crowd was fully appreciative of the spectacle.  In the tiebreak, an exchange of mini-breaks left the score at 5-5.  Mickey then won the match by taking the next two points, the first on a scintillating backhand winner down the line, and the second on a well-disguised dropshot winner.
