Scintillating Doubles Play

TennisTitan paired with Roy 'Mr. Spin' Marzullo in a well played match against 'EBL' Tully and 'Big Al' Diodati. Only one set was played to completion due to the extended time many games took because of the long rallies within most points. Indeed, "Deuces were wild" today! 'EBL'/'Big Al"' prevailed in that one hour set, 6-3. Set two ended at 3 games apiece and was again maked by continued fine play among the entire foursome. Titan noted that 'EBL,' feeling the effects of a recent illness, did not play his usually aggressive net game, instead holding fort at the baseline and engaging in groundstroke and lobbing forays with his opponents. 'Big Al' held his own at the net during the contest and was often the deciding factor as TT & Mr. Spin played back throughout the match. 'EBL' showed himself to be an admirer of Boris Becker's diving for balls in the final game of the match. The Energizer Bunny managed to get his legs tangled lunging for a ball to his backhand taking him off the court and onto his backside; the result, a scraped shin and and twisted wrist. At least that pain took his mind off his ague.
