A Little Pain, but Some Gain!

TennisTitan welcomed Jeff "Big Daddy" Briscoe back into his tennis world this weekend. 'BDB' had been away from the game for two years during which time he gained one law degree, one wife, two children and at least forty pounds! Nonetheless, 'BDB' had little difficulty handling the "ol' man" in the one set played at BCK (1-6). TT was never able to get his game going, what with the late day start, tricky winds, and the dead legs he brought to the court against his long time tennis foe. To his credit 'BDB' dominated throughout the entire contest featuring a consistent first serve and his patented inside-out striking of the ball that effectively sprayed his returns down the lines that is so offen effective against 'MLM' (man of little movement). TT was both heartened and dismayed that 'Big Daddy' seemed near exhausted entering the seventh and final game. TT feels the extra pain Titan endured playing a second consecutive day (and without pain pills) was more than compensated by seeing Jeff back on the court and getting some sorely needed exercise. Titan promises to be better prepared for their next meeting.
