Tullyville

"It's like Disneyland on the tennis court." That was the sage comment of Max 'Tutor' Tuchman as he sauntered to the courtside bench at the conclusion of three whirlwind sets at the Yonkers Tennis Center this date. 'Tutor,' recently back from a jaunt to his Florida condo, had become accustom to geriatric tennis played in Broward County. Today, he was reintroduced to 'EBL's brand of "no point is ever over until I can't get my racquet on it" tennis. Your Titan paired with Bill 'EBL' Tully in the first set and rolled to a comfortable (6-1) pounding of 'Tutor' and Roy 'Mr Spin' Marzullo. TT had plenty of pop on the serve and provided Tully with a slew of easy put-aways at net off his serve. It was only natural that the 'bombastic blowhard' would move to the other side of the net to make for a more equitable second set. Not so. Titan, still exhibiting his "A" game - big serve, accurate placement, precision returns down the line - could not provide enough support for 'Mr Spin'/TT to make a dent in Tullyville. 'EBL' raised his game considerably in set 2 to make the (1-6) thumping adminsistered to 'Mr Spin'/TT seem comparable in its decisiveness to the previous set. It was not. The quality of points far exceeded that offered in set 1. 'Tutor' and Titan united in set 3 to face the onslaught of spins, droppers, overheads and all court dominance (0-6) exhibited by 'Mr Spin'/'EBL.' 'Tutor' and Titan waxed philosophically as they congratulated themselves at net for taking the bullet, "Titan, make sure the blog records 'Mr Spin' finally was on the winning side!" 'EBL' chortled, "perhaps next week we'll make it three against one, this way someone can cover the middle."
