03/17/07. Super Saturday VRB Match: Big DL vs. Doc MM.
Scratch Auditorium, Moore Lake LTF. Court 6. 1430-1545.
Format: Best out of three games, first two games up to
15, tiebreaker up to 11, don’t have to win by 2 points.
Doc MM came out flat in the first game
and Big DL’s punishing front court killshots and zooming deep passes
were too much. It didn’t help that Doc MM double faulted twice. Big DL
takes a big early lead of 9-1 and never looked back.
Big DL 15, Doc MM 4.
In game number two, Doc MM
finally got his offense warmed up and blasted winners left and right for
an early 6-2 lead. Big DL turned on his offensive machinery with deep
missile rips and lethal front court reverse pinch killshots to tie it
all up at 14-14. However at 14-14, Big DL crushed a photon drive ace and
game? No, Big DL called a foot fault on himself! Wow! What a fair man!
Doc MM won the next rally and then served and shoots a down the line
succinct backhand pass down the left sidewall to win 15-14 to take this
to a tiebreaker! Doc MM 15, Big DL 14.
In the tiebreaker, it was
Big DL from beginning to end with deep serves and deep shots to pin Doc
MM deep and Big DL rolled out front court shots like hot cakes at a
birthday party to win easily 11-2. Big DL 11, Doc MM 2.
Cindy Kitchen: What happened
Doc MM?
Doc MM: Two things happened
CK, first, Big DL played extremely well and second, I was flat, a
combination that I can’t overcome on a Saturday afternoon. I will go buy
some Aleve cold and sinuses like Big DL recommends and I’ll be ready for
another showdown in the TC Tuesday night at Moore Lake.
