Week 12 = Return To Action

Ruby either mad or looking to eat his racquet.
July 10 was the evening of Dave Ruby's anger, highlighted by a tossing of his racquet over the fence.  The night of games at UWO saw a showdown including Michael, Dave, Jut, and Tom.  Without recollection of scores due to too much drinking, you just get the finals:

Tom: 2-1
Michael: 0-3   =  0-1 for the night.
Dave: 1-2  = 0-1 for the night.
Jut: 3-0  = 1-0 for the night.

Week 11 in Delay

DC showdown with Jaybird and Jutdog
Week 11 featured the week of July 4 - always a good time for tennis.  I suspect something of a match happened in Oshkosh, but I was absent.  Visiting the old Door County region, Saturday July 6 saw a massive showdown between Jut and his brother Jaybird.  Jut opened uncharacteristically with a solid 6-1 beat down of Jay in set one.  Somewhat miraculously, Jaybird pulled through to take set 2 with a nice 6-3 showing.  The last set wasn't to disappoint either, with the duo facing off at 4-3, Jut with the slight advantage.  Jut added another game moving it to 5-3, but Jaybird came back to win another.  At 5-4, in multiple deuces, Jut pulled it off when Jay hit the ball 2.5 inches out.

Without knowing if anyone else played, the week was a quiet one.  Jut pulled the non-conference win over Jaybird, moving to 14-6.  If any of you played, just let me know.

Standings at the end of week 11


Vincent: 7-1
Bricco: 3-1
Jut: 14-6
Michael: 8-5
Alan: 1-1
Dave: 2-6
Tony: 3-9

Ian: 1-2
Steph: 0-1
Jessie: 0-2

Week 10 End = Michael Revival

Michael goes 2-0 for the day
Sunday, June 30 proved to be Tennis-Lite, with only 3 players showing up.  Michael, Dave and Tony showed to battle, with Dave and Tony teaming up against Michael first.  Though a good fight, Michael was able to pull away with the 6-3 win.

Tony, being married, is now only allowed 50 minutes away from the house each day, so he had to promptly depart after the match, leaving Dave to take on Michael.  Michael didn't seem to struggle, taking Dave out 6-0.

On the day:

Michael: 2-0
Dave: 0-2
Tony: 0-1
