Quiet Sunday for Week 5

Tony Palmeri eyeing the ball up.

Continuing to play at UWO for fear of deadly lake flies, tennis action was sharp and efficient in Week 5.  With only Jutdog and Tony able to play, the ensuing singles match was a showdown of hatred and disgust. 

Jutdog took Tony down 6-1, 6-1 for the win.

Meanwhile, the league office has determined that Bob Poeschl is turning into a pussy, having not played since the early days of Spring.

No tennis happened this week Wed.

Week 4 at UWO

Lakeflies moved this weekend's contest to the great courts at UWO.  And the weekend saw "regulars" Bob and Tony out of commission (congrats to Tony's fiancee Lori on her Masters in Urban Planning from UW Milwaukee).

Two new faces premiered this week in Justin Bricco and Stephanie Tschech.  For Bricco, this is the first reunion with Jut in at least 7 years, dating back to the days on Sterling, and the UWO Sociology grad's first return to campus in several years.

Bricco and Jut (Cargin hiding), Wright St era

Steph, a former solid high school singles player, completely redeemed herself by making it to the court after a prior no call no show. 

Jut and Michael rounded out the group of 4.

Opening the morning, Bricco and Jut quickly moved to 3-0, but a combination of Michael getting a few nice serves in and Jut's inability to hit anything made the set close, with the team of Justins taking it at 6-4.

Bricco and Michael teamed up next, taking the set 6-3.

The final set saw Michael and Justin crush the two newcomers 6-1.

Set tall for the day:
Bricco: 2-1, 13 games
Jut: 2-1, 15 games
Steph: 0-3, 8 games
Michael: 2-1, 16 games

The full 3 sets were considered 1 match, so the overall tally for the "league" nets Jut, Bricco and Michael with a win, and Steph with a loss.  Bricco concluded the day (paraphrase) "Jut, you're not such an asshole to play with anymore."


Final Overall Standings after week 4:
Jut: 4-0
Bricco: 1-0
Michael: 1-1
Tony: 1-2
Ian: 0-0
Alan: 0-0
Steph: 0-1
Bob: 0-2

Week 3 Old Time Showdown

Three years ago, tennis summer consisted of Jutdog V Tony on a normal Sunday.  Week 3 was a return to this old tradition, with Jut and Tony squaring off. 

Originally slated to game, both Bob and Michael came in the wrong gear, forgetting that tennis does not require hockey garb.  Upset at Michael's suggestion for the skates, Bob leveled Michael, instantly disqualifying Bob (unneccesary assault of another player) and Michael (being a pussy).

Bob levels Michael for telling him it was hockey dress-up day

Tony opened up the day with a 1-0 lead, with advantage Tony in the second game.  However, Jutdog came back to win 6-1.  Set two matched the first, with the win going to Jut (6-1, 6-1).

Standings for the day:
Jutdog: 1-0
Tony: 0-1

Overall standings:

Jut: 3-0

Tony: 1-2

Ian: 0-0

Alan: 0-0

Steph: 0-1

Michael: 0-1

Bob: 0-2

 

Next week tennis is slated for Sunday 9am.

Week 2 = Warm Weather

Bob struggles with an 0-2 start to the year.

The exceptional tennis weather continued for week 2, featuring Bob, Tony & Jut on Sat May 4.  The excited-to-get-back-to-playing Stephanie was a no call no show. Intimidation?  Maybe.  But the miss costs her an automatic loss.  Yet to play a game, there remains uncertainty about her game.

Forced to play 3 sets of 1 vs 2, the day began with Bob taking on Jut and Tony.  A lighting quick 0-6 set for Bob dampened any excitement he had coming into the day.  Jutdog was alone next, taking down the boys 6-1.  Last was the Palmeri, who fell 2-6.

The end tally was:
Jutdog 3-0
Bob 1-2
Tony 1-2

The full 3 sets were considered 1 match, so the overall tally for the "league" nets Jut with a win, and both Tony and Bob with a loss.

Final Overall Standings after week 2:

Jut: 2-0
Tony: 1-1

Ian: 0-0

Alan: 0-0

Michael: 0-1

Steph: 0-1

Bob: 0-2
