Deja Vu All Over Again

"Well, Titan, it's my second term" chortled Bill 'EBL' Tully at net who had just replicated the results from last week's meeting of the foursome of 'EBL,' 'Tutor' Tuchman, 'Mr Spin' Marzullo, and TT. Titan/'EBL' dominated the opener (6-1) with TT serving big and 'EBL' barely breaking a sweat in the 22 minute set as he gobbled up put-away after put-away at net. Set two again saw TT/Mr Spin win but one game on TennisTitan's serve (1-6) as 'EBL' eased into full running mode and thwarted some excellent returns by 'Mr Spin' and the Titan that prolonged this agony to 29 minutes. More significantly the quality of points again was uplifted, even if the results do not bare this out. And finally, set three. The complete blow out. 'Tutor'/TT were badly overmatched (0-6) by the all court play of the 'Energizer Bunny' and the rejuvenated 'Mr Spin', who for once, could comfortably remain at the baseline and not worry about covering for TT or 'Tutor.' Roy hit his lobs concistently beyond the tired Titan's reach and his dinks spinning away from a flailing Max. Titan reminded our "Mayor of Tullyville' at net, "Billy boy, unlike last week, when Max and I didn't win a game when we started that 4th set, I started to impose "term limits" today 'cause the pop on my serve won the opening game of set 4 today." Max cautioned Titan, "TT, the exit polls were not good, we were down 1-3 when we were bumped from the court.
