Jimmy Stewart I'm not but...

It's a Wonderful Life, indeed, for the TennisTitan. Returning to the Southern Senior Tour at my beloved home court at Blue Crab Key, under clear cloudless blue skies and 78 degree temperature, TT and 'CC Flash' engaged in a two set battle this date sure to set the standard for the coming weeks. 'Flash,' no doubt still smarting from his epic defeat at the hands of TT on Dec. 15 was most inhospitable between the white lines this morning. Those pleasantries exchanged at the airport on the evening of the 3rd were no where to be found as 'Flash' took care of business easily in set 1, 6-3. 'Flash' served effectively and exhibited his trade mark hustle which is the linchpin of his all court game. TT managed to win 2 of the last 3 games of the set, building sufficient confidence to play more steadily in set 2. TT and 'Flash' held serve respectively up until the pivotal 9th game when 'Flash' lost his concentration and threw in 2 double faults at critical junctures. TT must must have heard Clarence ring the bell because as far as he is concerned an angel was born as TT held his serve to close out the set 6-4. The next scheduled match is set for Thursday.
