"It's All About Heart...sometimes"

TennisTitan demonstrated why he is a Titan of Tennis today. Two-Ton-Tommy was run off the court by 'CC Flash' in set 1 as 'Gentlman Jim' played a wise, patient game in the opener, serving effectively at 85% speed and chasing down everything that TT was able to return. TT was dispatched with ease in 21 minutes dropping the set 6-1. But occasionally TT has the capacity to re-group in circumstances that even surprise the Titan. Today was such a day. TT hung tough in set 2, holding his own serve until the critical 9th game when 'Flash' broke through to have the opportunity to serve it out. T'was not to be as Titan leveled it at 5-5; only to drop game 11 and be forced to break back in the 12th game to continue the contest. As always these contestants "play it out" to the bitter end. Titan knows he must leave it all on the court in the 2nd set because he hasn't a prayer should there be a third played today. TT and 'Flash' held their respective serves entering the decisive 16th game when Titan broke through against Flash to win a scintillating 70 minute set 9-7. 'Gentleman Jim' was heard to be muttering something about "damn Yankees" and "Mountaineers never give up!" as he promised to return to BCK in the near future to avenge this bitter loss. Ouch!
