I saw hustle... but no commitment

TT and eight of his brethren welcomed in October with several well played sets of doubles. The pairing of "Gimpy Legs" Cruz and "Slats" seemed to have been the most successful this date holding sway successfully on all three sets on the prestigious court 1 concrete. They turned aside forays by "Happy Jack" Carey & George "The Chemist" (6-2), "Big Al" & "TT"(6-4), and won a scintilating victory over "The Chemist" & George "The Teacher" in a tiebreaker(7-6) (7-4) to conclude their day on the court. And not a moment too soon because next in line to challenge for court 1 honors was "TT" and "King Gene" who had split their talents on court 2 in earlier matches. After TT was dispatched by "GL"/"Slats" he paired with "Kraut" Kluge in a 6-4 victory over "King Gene" and "Big AL." The tandem of "HJ"/"TT" were then served a bagel by "The Kraut/King Gene" duo as a prelude to the concluding match of the morning. "TT/King Gene" proved way too difficult for the "Kraut" and the "Chemist" coasting to an easy 6-1 victory. TT wonders, would the outcome have been any different had we the opportunity to play for control of court 1 earlier in the day? I think not. With "Slats"/"GK" I saw hustle but no commitment. Had there been, they would have stayed and got their ass taken care of (like I did yesterday).
