Tennis "bagels" (continued)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

Love-and-love.  It sounds so nice.  But it's a tennis player's nightmare.  The dreaded double bagel job, as Harold Solomon used to say.

Some names are linked for all eternity.  Antony and Celopatra.  Gilbert and Sullivan.  Spahn and Sain.  Death and Taxes.  And in tennis in the '70s, there was Dibbs and Solomon--Eddie Dibbs, the battler from Brooklyn, and Harold Solomon, the local-boy-makes-good from Silver Spring.  TV commentator Bud Collins, in less politically correct times, dubbed them the "Bagel Twins."  And he did this not because they were Jewish (actually, Dibbs is Lebanese), but because they seemed like the same player, the same person.
---"The old 'Bagel Twins' are still holding court," WASHINGTON TIMES, 17 May 1997, pg. C1.

Like Harold Solomon, his longtime friend, Dibbs is a tireless back-court player, getting everything back all day and all night, if necessary.  Unlike Solomon, Dibbs does not mind coming to the net.  He has consistently done better than Solomon on tour as a result, although they are still constantly linked as "The Bagel Twins."

   My guess is that is was Harold Solomon (not Eddie Dibbs) who coined "bagel."  There's an easy way to find out, though.  Someone can just ask them!
