"He was unstoppable"

TT & Prez were paired in a rematch with last week's competitors at the YTC today. Indeed, "Big Al" & "G-Man" had every reason to feel confident that, at worst, they would come away with a split in sets just as they had on 9/28. Today, however, the script was different. Dropping the opener 7-5 to TT/Prez while losing the last 3 games of the set was just too much of a mental obstacle to overcome this date. I know, I know. Last week they lost the opener (6-3) also, but not after having broken Prez to take a 5-4 lead as they did today. "Big Al" was broken 4 times, and "G-Man" thrice today, each being broken at a critical juncture - in game 10 and 12 - of the first set. The duo got off to a 2-love advantage against TT/Prez in set 2 but TT's reliable service games (4/5 holds) were the difference makers. Prez played effective long rallies from the baseline, tossing in several enviable cross court dinks on the tiring opposition in set 2. He had but 2 service holds in his 6 opportunities but kept his erratic net play to a minimum. This week it's the tandem of "Big Al"/"G-Man" who have their work to do. Will they be able to tire out "The Prez," in those baseline rallies? Today "he was unstoppable," so says Frankie, baby.
