Week 9: The Day of Vincent and Michael

Mike says:  "I won, I won. Yeah!"
This Sunday (June 23) welcomed tennis alum Alan Siman - Alan even had a new racquet to debut.  A solid 6 showed up in total, including Bob, Jut, Tony, Michael, Vincent, and Alan.

Games started with Bob & Jut Vs Alan and Vincent, while Tony and Michael battled.  The doubles match was the tightest of the year, with ties at 3 and 5, and eventually heading into a tiebreaker.  Vincent and Alan stormed back for a 2-4 deficit in the tiebreaker to smack down Jut and Bob 7-6 (7-4). 

Michael, who was relegated to the Bush League for the day, took down Tony 6-1, 6-1.

Next, Jut and Vincent again faced each other in a head to head, while Tony and Michael teamed up to take on Alan and Bob.  

Jut, having lost 4 consecutive matches to Vincent in the week alone, had some confidence with a  4-3 lead.  But a strong ending from Vincent and a love of hitting the ball out by Jut combined to give Vincent the win 6-4, moving him to 5-0 on the summer.

Tony and Michael had no problem smacking down Bob and Alan, finishing it 6-1.

End results of the day:

Michael: 2-0
Vincent: 2-0
Alan: 1-1
Tony: 1-1
Jut: 0-2

  2. except that he is under 21, which imposes a significant legal burden to the drinking requirement.
