Do you see a pattern?

TT was back on his favorite court this date (Aug.28) reverting to form. TT was paired with his former partner, "Slats" in the first set opposing "King Gene" and "The Kraut," Bob Kluge, dropping the set 6-3. Kraut's serve was a deciding factor in this set. Hence TT was 'traded' to make the next set more competitive! Ha! King Gene and TT served for the bagel before Slats and Kraut knew what hit them. Kraut had reverted to form and Slats always brings out the best in TT; ergo a 6-2 victory was not unexpected by TT. However,the Kraut pleaded his case and was returned to the other side of the net for set three wherein, he and King Gene were made to sweat out a 7-5 victory in the best set of the day. As I see it, the pattern is this: "King Gene" has been aptly named, and for that matter too, so is "Slats," just a support piece which is easily "broken".

In the preliminary match "Big Al" and "Happy Jack" were no match for Sab and "Slats" who cruised to a 6-2 victory.
