Week 6 enemy showdown: More hype, less battle

Overheads killed Michael all day, hitting only 1 out of 7

The long-anticipated showdown between Michael Hoefferle and Jut Mitchell - two opposing enemies who really can't stand each other in any way - was set to occur the Sunday of Week 6.  Bob Poeschl continues to be relegated to the minor leagues, as he isn't ready for Oshkosh Tennis Smack.  Palmeri is in Vegas getting married, and there weren't enough additional players to make a doubles battle.

The day started out in shining fashion for Mikedog.  Two quick points in game one, with an eventual 3-1 lead.  However, Jutdog came back tying it for deuce.  Michael fell 0-1.  Then 0-2 and 0-3.  The fourth game was service break for Michael, bringing it to 3-1.  Jutdog won the next two games, taking a solid 5-1 lead.  Michael pulled out two unreturnable serves in the seventh game, closing the gap to 5-2. Jutdog finished the last game in 4 straight points, sealing the first set.

Michael, looking to do better in set two, was not better in set two.  Overheads plagued him all day, as did most shots requiring hustling.   Michael lost the second set 6-1.

Final score of the day:  Jutdog wins 6-2, 6-1

Jutdog: 1-0
Mikedog: 0-1
