Seeming to be raring to go, GreatBritishTurd uploaded the match's serve, "The Great Exterminatus of Baker Street"(2012), almost immediately after the Set 2 lineups were announced, days before the set was officially scheduled to start. It was however rapturously received, particularly winning over AshcrementVII himself, as it fully set the tone for the direction the match was to head in and represented an unexpected, complete departure from the style for which GreatBritishTurd was best known for in tennis. While there are select elements of visual editing that are present and built upon, much of the match is based in a more classic style of exchange, with many quick joke edits and source additions along with sentence-mixed wordplay traded between the players including the repeated sentence-mixing of each other's names. ChrisGendo declared this match her favorite of the tournament at the time<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/31-completed-games/103748-greatbritishturd-vs-ashcrementvii-done-vote/1</ref>, and it has subsequently been considered as one of the best and most memorable matches to have come out of the Tennis Cup 4. GreatBritishTurd ended up winning this match with 11 votes to 4, which was commended by AshcrementVII through a separate video upload, "Victim of a Great British Turding"(2012), acting as a coda to the match and a celebration of it taking place. | Seeming to be raring to go, GreatBritishTurd uploaded the match's serve, "The Great Exterminatus of Baker Street"(2012), almost immediately after the Set 2 lineups were announced, days before the set was officially scheduled to start.
