Not Quite FedererESQUE but...

TennisTitan accepted an opportunity to hit the asphalt this date in lieu of having forfeited his usual Saturday morning game to watch the Womens Finals at Wimbledon. Titan paired with Kinsley regular Bill "Ol' Electrolux" Ching for three sets against John "The Neck" Manzi who partnered with "Prosac" Chris (6-2, 6-4) for two sets and Rito "The Caballero" (2-6) in the finale. Titan's game was fairly sharp this date. However, TT elected "not to put the pedal to the metal" against a lethargic and often overmatched "Prosac," but rather attempted to compliment "Electrolux" game as he sparred with his regular nemesis, "Neck" Manzi. These two interact like oil and water on the court and their disputes are often the most memorable part of the day, today being no exception. "Electrolux" was not crisp with his volleys at net and his column was filled with 'U.E.s' that undid his tandem as the match wore on. "Neck" framed several shots at net that turned out to be winners further enraging and undoing "Electrolux" confidence at net. By set three line call challenges were the norm, somewhat bespoiling the most equitable pairing of the day. "Caballero's" fresh legs and top spin rallies turned the tide in the critical fifth game, breaking Titan for the only time (6/7 holds) by fending off five ad-ins to start their impressive run to victory
