For the spectators at the Daskalakis Athletic Center, they are getting quite the show as three of the six third-round matches went to a seventh set.

In possibly the most thrilling match of the day, Sean Lonergan (1-2) pulled off a seven-set win over Tahl Leibovitz (0-3), after trailing three sets to one.

In the final set, the score was tied 9-9 before Leibovitz was called for a questionable fault, which caused some fans to question the referee’s officiating.

In another excited match, David Zhuang (3-0) avoided the upset and came from behind to erase a 3-1 set deficit to beat Adam Hugh (0-3) in seven sets (12-14) (11-8) (10-12) (10-12) (11-9) (11-7) (11-5).

“He didn’t beat me, I beat myself,” Hugh, one of the fan favorites said.

Han Xiao (1-2) upset Yinghua Chen (2-1) in seven sets (11-8) (8-11) (8-11) (13-11) (11-7) (6-11) (11-4) to pick up his first win of the round-robin tournament.

After the first four sets were all within three points, the average point differential by the winner in the last three sets was over five.

Eric Owens (2-1) had little trouble in defeating John Leach (1-2) in straight sets (11-6) (11-2) (11-6) (12-10).

In the most anticipated match of the round and a battle of undefeateds, Mark Hazinski (3-0) beat Khoa Nguyen (2-1) in six sets (11-6) (10-12) (9-11) (14-12) (11-4) (11-9).

Yu Shao (1-2) beat the Philly fan favorite, Razvan Cretu (2-1), in just five sets (11-4) (11-7) (11-6) (3-11) (11-6), ending Cretu’s winning streak at six, dating back to yesterday’s qualifying tournament.
