Who would've thunk it?

It's always great to get an opportunity to play tennis on a rainy day and today was such a day. The rains from Hurricane Jeanne beat on the metal roof of the YTC throughout the 90 minutes of action. TT was paired with 'Prez' for this afternoon's play. The boys quickly fell behind to 'Big Al' and 'G-Man', love-2, but came on strong to win the first set 6-3. TT had dropped his opening service game, and should have anticipated from that alone, the events that would transpire in the second set. Prez/TT were up 4-1 in set 2 when the proverbial roof "caved in." Shots went errant and the opposition held tough to win three multi-deuce games in a row and eventually found themselves with a 5-4 lead after TT dropped serve for the second time this day. Then 'Big Al' was broken, but so was Prez, leaving it up to G-Man to hold serve in the 12th game of the set to complete the remarkable and well deserved comeback. Kudos to Big Al & the G-Man! Prez, we've got work to do.
