'''theFXexpert26 vs. dewmann''' would mark the first time that dewmann would not be serving and the first time that FX would be, and eventually became known as a match of legend due to the near flawless continuity of ideas, with concepts stretching the entire match undisturbed. Ashcrement at the time conisdered dewmann's Round 2 to be one of his best rounds.
'''theFXexpert26 vs. dewmann''' would mark the first time that dewmann would not be serving and the first time that FX would be, and eventually became known as a match of legend due to the near flawless continuity of ideas, with concepts stretching the entire match undisturbed. Ashcrement at the time considered dewmann's Round 2 to be one of his best rounds. Among what was continued were the various "REMEMBER THE STORY OF THE" ideas and the ending "WELL WHY CAN'T WE DO THE SAME damn THING" gag towards the end, along with continuing YTPMV segment and recursive repetition of a sign stemming from Round 1 which began at 3 frames and by Round 6 had climaxed at several hundered. dewmann during this match however would be criticized for editing too heavily and being a "showboat" in explanation for the support of FX's more reserved in presentation style used in his rounds, which some said worked better with the previous video without being visually impressive. Others claimed that dewmann helped the progression along better and thusly gave the match a more definite finish with Round 6, which was at the time the most intense round dewmann had ever made. FX continued to request extensions for school related matters due to it being the end of the school year with lots of projects needing finished, often making the match drag on. dewmann eventually did emerge as the matches winner, still gaining a majority of votes despite this, and the match is still looked upon both players fondly.

'''djninjalovemistake vs. sanemurzu''' was a retrospectively humorous match that made clear who still had the motivation to keep going and who didn't, as sanemurzu responded very sluggishly to each round that djninja put out, the serve of whom was greatly admired. At several points sane was gone from the site completely and seemed to forget that he was still involved. His Round 6, a 20 second video featuring a still of an old man lying on the floor with muted audio with the title of just "tennis". Clearly justified that he had no desire to continue playing anymore, essentially giving away the victory to djninja. sanemurzu satirically posted CDi Link in his "I WON!" pose in response to learning of his loss. TheChutley has retrosepctively found this last round to be hilarious, saying that "This is the greatest ending to any tennis match and nothing will beat it."

JacobketronCT found himself in a place he had always hoped of being in when paired up in '''JacobketronCT vs. theChutley''', and went into the match with just as great enthusiasm as he had done the match before. TheChutley responded to his often lengthy rounds in a very comedic way, at one point even countering Jacobketron's rapping session recorded with his voice in Round 3 by recording his own in his Round 4, in addition to adding his voice into many other parts of the video, which has since become a classic amongst the tennis regulars. TheChutley later reportedly suffered an injury in which a beer keg was dropped onto his foot and shattered, which required his foot to be elevated for a period of time, the pain making it hard to concentrate on working on the last round. After a point he stopped requesting extensions and became very late, almost being the last match to finish. In vote count TheChutley won by a landslide, but because of extensive penalties the win ended up going to JacobketronCT, who couldn't have been more satisfied with it in addition to the revelation of his next opponent. It wasn't caught until later that Chutley's penalty count actually equaled disqualification, which meant in trepmaws' words that Jacob "had the match in the bag before voting even began".

Two players who had previously played together in the [[Doubles Cup II]] now played against each other in the match-up of '''trepmaws vs. Gamebop,''' practically an exact duplicate situation of trepmaws vs. TheChutley following their epic match played together in the [[Doubles Cup I]], right down to the identical sets in which both couplets of matches happened and the fact that trepmaws was once again serving. Initially a very exciting match as many would have expected, Gamebop lost steam midway and intentionally uploaded a Round 4 that was only 8 seconds long, finishing out the match in conjunction with the declaration that he was no longer interested in playing and letting trepmaws have the win, which he accepted in respect. Thusly Gamebop for the first time received no votes after the end of the Set in order to honor the decision. '''Bloodis vs. metroid998''', which put the two players in the tournament with the most similar styles at heads with each other, marked some of the earliest usage of Pumkin in a tennis match, which is considered by a few to be the match's most entertaining quality. It received among the smallest of votes being of the more underwatched matches, but the winner of this match would eventually become Bloodis.

{{VidCaption|IgaR0oW6PXc|CorruptionSound vs. superkoffee, Round 2}}
 
 
'''CorruptionSound vs. superkoffee''' in the idea of itself was absolutely mindblowing, and many people anticipated the start of this match upon its announcement. CorruptionSound's serve used a large variety of sources, which superkoffee used to create a conceptual round based around a source roulette, that would switch and announce a different source with a brief cutscene in koffee's trademark 'microgame' fashion, employing different editing methods for each, some of which were unusually light. The Angry Video Game Nerd sequence in particular actually came with a "mini-game", using the bunny that bursts through the door in corruption's original video as a template for several different characters heads that would appear on it in the style of a comical beauty pageant that he dubbed "Cute Man Con 2012". They were as follows Patrick Stewart, Hulk Hogan, John Madden(estimated), Vegeta, and a character reminiscent in appearance to Filthy Frank. It then shows all 5 of them on one half of the screen with a window below reading "WHO WAS THE SEXIEST?", with AVGN on the other half in mid-spit take. In one instance the square with Patrick Stewart in it slides left and a 6th square appears in red, assumed to be "Chef Goldblum"(or Jeff Goldblum in a chefs hat), which is where one would find this rounds secret chroma-keyable image. Hulk Hogan wins the pretend contest which provides the natural segue into his part of the round.

Hulk Hogan wins the pretend contest which provides the natural segue into his part of the round.
 
CorruptionSound responded to this with a highly musical round 3 that was impressively technical, at which point koffee became completely stumped on how to respond, and eventually dropped out and for a short time was hidden from view completely, privating every one of his videos. This prompted Corruption to request a replacement, at which point Luioigi made his official reappearance into tennis.

{{VidCaption|kZhCTwm0hCs|CorruptionSound vs. Luioigi, Round 2}}
 
 
The match restarted with the original serve, now '''CorruptionSound vs. Luioigi'''. Round 2 was naturally a dramatically different interpretation, done in his trademark ophios-like slow and ambient style which had been very much a favorite of players like ChrisGendo and Gamebop. The two of them had played before through a Shuffle Lineup in 2011 so there were high expectations for this rematch. Unlike the match previous however Luioigi seemed to under-perform in the eyes of some, and the voting results ruled CorruptionSound as the match's winner. Luioigi would mysteriously retreat once more, only reappearing to post rounds for other matches he was involved in.

Originally Set to be '''BSP666c vs.''' Silverstreak, the absence of the latter led to the reappearance of '''MycroProcessor''' to the competitive field, in a match that now would be much more anticipated. Mycro's rounds were at this point not to different from the style that he had come to following the diminished attention of the Three-Way Tournament, and in this match his rounds seemed to pick very curiously at everything that BSP's Rounds provided for him, resulting in highly experimental material. Round 4 was notable for starting with and being made up of very large amounts of black space accompanied only by serene music, an approach that BSP worked hard at emulating in his responses. Mycro was reportedly intimidated by BSP's Round 5, a techincally impressive buildup in atmosphere and progression that is often singled out as his best in the match, claiming at one point that he might very well win because of it. Mycro's last Round was a very slow and etherical round that Ashcrement described as having "lulled him into the eternal bliss of an intoxicating seizure". Popular Opinion would eventually rule in MycroProcessor being the winner of the match.

'''CorruptionSound vs. MycroProcessor''' saw CorruptionSound finally realizing something of a dream in gaining the opportunity to finally play his new opponent, whom was the player that inspired him to enter into tennis to begin with and very much inspired his style throughout 2009-2011, and kicked off their match with a serve that Mycro was very impressed with. He continued in his experimental fashion of editing, introducing databending and computer glitch techniques for the first time in his round 2, which caught the attention of even people who previously dismissed his work. The two of them continued to play in an impressive battle of wits, both being incredibly skilled in their technicalness, at one point Corruption presenting a round done in a Wild West Film title-card fashion announcing the players of the match, the number of the match, set, and name of the Tournament and who they were hosted by. Recognition was given to the humor in the bit that read "I DO NOT OWN THE SOURCES---NIETHER DOES HE".

The voting results for this match were incredibly close. CorruptionSound only ended up winning due to a sole penalty that Mycro accumulated for his late round 4, who otherwise beat him in votes.

dewmann was greeted with a second rematch in '''Bloodis vs. dewmann''', of whom the two of them at the time were very close and thus were very happy to play each other again. The resulting match featured almost exclusively sources of Hatsune Miku music videos, the serve of which gained bloodis a lot of new attention within the tennis community. dewmann changed up his pace from the previous two matches for this match, playing to something more akin to the ambience and techincality combination popularized by ChrisGendo and also being used to some influence by Bloodis as well. Every Round was done in a very AMV like fashion with background music being constantly present, being a non-Miku song on only one occasion in Round 2, when it was "With a Little Love" by Level 42. Votes for this match were also very close, dewmann only managed to advance by one vote.

'''djninjalovemistake vs. GreatBritishTurd''' was a match that was watched in earnest by many of the older tenniers and was positively noted for its complete hybrid of both effect and humor based techniques in a very fluid way. Starting with puns about being a "porpoise" and later becoming "tortoise" and featuring an abundance of NINJA CHALLENGE references and dreamcore-esque musical segments, it was equally challenging battle on both sides. GreatBritishTurd would eventually come out on top as the victor with his rounds having a bit more texture and energy than that of djninja's, and it was at this point that GreatBritishTurd seemed to be near unstoppable.

jacobketron's unprecedented run would now take him to the match '''JacobkrtronCT vs. trepmaws''', the last tournament host standing who had won more matches than any tournament he had played in before. And unbelievably, Jacobketron would come to win yet again because of trepmaws eventually coming to forfiet after not being able to respond with Round 6 on time, though he has still promised to eventually deliver the final round when time allows it. Because of this, The match thread sits alongside ChrisGendo vs. MycroProcessor vs. Moogle outside of the completed section, awaiting its conclusion that has subsequently become just as uncertain.

In yet a third rematch taking the form of '''CorruptionSound vs. dewmann''' (they had played him in a doubles match alongside TheRazorEdge), dewmann recalls being on vacation in San Francisco when they first recieved CorruptionSounds serve for Set 4 of the Tournament. Upon returning home they would enter into one of the most intense matches that they would ever play, describing it as "opening EVERYTHING" in order to respond back to CorruptionSounds rounds which had returned to something of the more technical calibur of his older work following the matches with Luioigi with MycroProcessor. The match would ultamitely serve to be a profound inspiration on players such as Sid1325 and HerpyWhooves. dewmann describes the match as a "real Emerson, Lake, and Palmer moment" for them in which they went considerably above and beyond the average presentation of a tennis round, making some of his most highly/advanced editing that he had done within his round 2 and 4, with CorruptionSound responding in somewhat of a lower-key, focusing more on source addition at some parts. dew's last round was a deliberate retraction from the pace of the two rounds before it, due to both a strain on time and general exhaustion from the effort put into the earlier rounds, and started for them a period of more basic editing practice within future matches. dew here would finally bow out from the tournament, reaching only one level before that of their previous one. Out of respect for his opponent, CorruptionSound would later state that he beat them by only one vote, disregarding the penalty that dew recieved.

They would also accumulate their first late penalty due to being locked out of their computer via password(an early example of family abuse they had not yet recognized), and requesting through another computer an extension that he was denied because AshcrementVII did not believe his situation was genuine. His resulting last round was a deliberate retraction from the pace of the two rounds before it, due to both a strain on time and general exhaustion from the effort put into the earlier rounds, and started for them a period of more basic editing practice within future matches. dewmann here would finally bow out from the tournament, reaching only one level before that of their previous one.
