If you're a fan of the series, you'll enjoy the episode, but in my mind it wasn't nearly as funny as usual. Bob has his heart set on winning an office tennis tournament, which consists of mixed doubles where the partners are drawn from a hat. Howard and Emily wind up being included, and in a stroke of fate, they are chosen as partners.

Bob has splurged on new tennis apparel and a new racket, and some jokes are made of that.

When the tournament comes, Bob analyzes the brackets and explains why they should win through every round, including beating the short, pudgy Tupperman in the first round. There is some hope since Emily has taken several lessons. It doesn't turn out well, and the best punch line in the episode is Bob's last physical action. :-)
