TennisTitan


August 26

TennisTitan had an experience today that has become increasingly rare for him... an afternoon of play in which he only sipped from the sweet cup of victory... Much credit to the high caliber of play by doubles partners "Big Al" in sets one (6-2) and two (6-4), and "George The Teacher" in set three (6-2). TT knows his play was decisive because he managed to avoid being broken in all but one of his service games...certainly not typical of the "man whose serve is always exceeded by his mouth." Making the victories especially sweeter for TT was that both 6-2 sets came against "Slats," a defensive stalwart whose hustle and stamina are much admired by TT, (even if his serve is not). If he ever gives me his 'true' home telephone number I will be sure to tell him personally, but as for now, he must read this bitter cup and continue to long for the days when he played along side TT. "Happy Jack Carey" ably assisted Slats but his shoulders were much too narrow today. Greatest kudos must go to the unbelievable level of play that our 80 year old Japanese friend, Sab, is able to regularly demonstrate over his 90 minutes of play... a remarkable athlete even if he has no shoulders to carry TT in future sets when TT reverts to form.
