Blitzkrieged

TennisTitan and 'Kraut' met this date for another two-set affair of singles play. TT was no match for a revivified Kraut who cruised to victories at 2 and 1. Indeed, Titan had to hold serve in the sixth game of the first set to avoid a late afternoon bagel. Kraut ran off the first five games and dominated play from the first toss. Titan staved off 4 set points in game 6 and 2 more in game seven only to prolong the agony for a few more minutes. Kraut then broke TT at love to close out the set. The German's mastery of the bewildered blowhard worsened in set two as Kraut raced to a four-love lead before Titan could get on the board for his only game. 'Kraut' offered Titan some hope for the future by adding as they left McLean Av. Park,"Tommy, me-boy, it was my day today." TT retorted, "Herr Kluge, I only wish it was your night last night... me thinks I will need the help of your frauline to drain you of your energy if we are to play in the afternoon." "Ja gut," chortled the Deutchlander.
