Goose...Gander

TennisTitan hooked up with 'CC Flash' on Wednesday for a rematch. Titan was still smarting from the spanking given him by 'Flash' at their last meeting, 2 and 2. Titan fared much better today winning the only set played (6-1). Indeed, 'Flash' was not the same player due to physical limitations (hamstring tightness) that inhibited his ability to chase down TT's 'winners' as he so often does. 'Flash' also had played two sets of doubles on clay at his club in the interim that undoubtedly also effected his play today on the hard courts. But enough of the qualifers, Titan enjoyed having his way with 'Gentleman Jim' and graciously suggested that they cease play after concluding their only set. It was an added bonus that 'Flash' had accepted an invitation for he and TT to play doubles on Thursday at the Mid Cape Tennis Club to which he belongs. Titan and 'Flash' have just completed their doubles play this Thursday. Titan dropped both sets (6-1, 6-1). Titan assesses that both he and 'CC' were not up to the ability level today of four of the six other players. Indeed, TT was paired for both his losses with weaker members of the group. Titan hopes to play better on Tuesday in his next doubles opportunity and trusts that the 'luck of the draw' will be more kindly to him.
