A Journeyman's Journey

TennisTitan joined the Mid-West Senior Tennis Tour this weekend. Hosted by a TT nemesis, Bob 'Gavonne" Zanchelli, the Titan was treated most inhospitably on the North Park courts of Lake Forest Illinois. On Friday TT teamed with his son Russell 'Hoya' Briscoe in dropping two closely contested doubles matches on a synthetic surface to 'Gavonne' and his son, Chris 'Raging Bull' Zanchelli (3-6, 5-7). The 'Z' Boys rallied in both sets from on- serve, 2-3, in the set one and brake-down, 5-5, to capture the nightcap. Titan offers big time kudos to 'Hoya' for his valiant effort in carrying the ol' man to near victory. His hustle and wing span matched that offered by the 'Raging Bull' in keeping both sets competitive throughout the 90 minute struggle. Titan was overheard to chirp to 'Hoya' as they left the illuminated venue, "I'll get that son 'o bitch tomorrow morning when its mano y mano!"
