A day of tennis is ALWAYS a good day.

TT joined his compatriots for another wonderful afternoon of tennis. TT enlisted the services of George 'the Chemist' in set 1 against Big Al and George 'the Teacher.' Off to an early 4-2 lead the TT duo were caught at the wire by the crafty artistry of veteran players who used the sun wisely, some loose service play in the critical 9th game, and some fortuitous calls. To their credit Big Al & George 'the Teacher' delivered on the decisive points throughout the latter part of the match, especially in the tiebreaker to win the set 7-6 (7-3) for a much deserved come-from-behind victory. The winning duo defended their court most admirably in Set 2 cruising to 6-2 victory against Sab and 'Happy Jack.' Big Al said "caio" and Sab said "sayonara" leaving 'Happy Jack' to pair with 'the Teacher' against TT and 'the Chemist' in set 3. Jack continued his fine serving in set 3 but it was not enough to buttress the tiring legs of his partner nor stave off the victory-starved team of TT and 'the Chemist' who finally got his bunsen burner lit. The final score was 6-3.
