Ethnic Humor in a PC Sport

Your TennisTitan was not disappointed - nor did he disappoint - with regard to today's play at the Yonkers Tennis Center. Titan and 'EBL' Bill Tully paired against Roy 'Mr. Spin' Marzullo and Max "Tutor' Tuchman in 90 minutes of intense doubles action. 'Energizer Bunny Legs' was true to form with his magnificent coverage of the baseline as did 'Mr. Spin' on the other side of the net. 'EBL'/Titan dissapated a break-up, 4-2 advantage in the only set played to completion due to the tenacious defense displayed by 'Tutor/'Mr. Spin' in games seven and eight which they captured at the sixth and fourth deuce, respectively. Down 4-5, having lost three long games in a row, TennisTitan held his service at love to halt the hemorrage. The sides exchanged holds until 'Tutor' was broken in game thirteen enabling the Titan to serve it out sealing their (8-6) victory. The second set was halted at 1-1 in games as the exhausted quartet gave way to Mitch's instructional group. 'Tutor,' who had suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of the Titan on Tuesday groused as he left the court, "Titan, what's an old Jewish man to do? On Tuesday I lose to you with an Irishman, on Thursday I lose to you with an Italian?" TT rejoinded, "Max, I'd love to play with your Saturday group... then you and your buddies would have another reason to go to the Wailing Wall!"
