Date: January 16th, 2018 11:38 PM Author: motley sneaky criminal hospital never played 5 setters, but my instinct is that losing a 4th set TB when you're up 2-1 has got to be gut wrenching.
50/50 you either win a closely fought match and go into the locker room, or you lose the TB and go into the 5th set with the momentum against you.
in a 3rd set TB when it's 1-1, the winner goes up 2-1 and the loser goes down 1-2. major momentum switch, but there's still a lot of match to play.
in a 3rd set TB if it's 2-0, it's not so much of a big deal if the leader loses. |

this happens a lot in the women's matches. a chick will win the first, and then be serving for the match at 6-5, only to be broken and then lose a tight tiebreaker. now she's gone from being points away from winning to almost being behind, and certainly behind in momentum. |

Date: January 17th, 2018 11:41 AM Author: motley sneaky criminal hospital i think it's got to be way worse in a bo5 than a bo3, although i've never played bo5's. in bo3 there's a huge momentum swing, but in bo5 you also have the physical aspect of it bc of the imminent 5th set grind. in bo3 you just figure fuck i have to play another set.
