No Gain...and a Lot of Pain

Titan just can't help himself when it comes to his tennis. There never seems to be too much, especially on the Southern Senior Tour. There is always that BCK hot tub beckoning TT with "I'll take your aches away" post match. So TT, not wishing to forego an opportunity to match his skills against 'CC Flash' decided to play for the third consecutive day, even after his very poor showing against 'BDB' yesterday. TT endured two more painful loses (4-6, 4-6) to 'Gentleman Jim.' Most painful to this 'MLM' (see prior match report for explanation) was HOW Titan lost today; TT was unable to close out seven games in which he led either forty-love or forty-five. Especially galling was his failure when up 4-3 in set one dropping the next three games to 'Flash' when TT was up by these significant advantages. Titan took no solace in his late second set rally as he closed to 4-5 from 1-4 making Jim serve it out. With his wry wit and his ungentlemanly smirk 'Flash' bid the Titan adieu with,"Perhaps Titan,you should let me throw your racquet for you when you play so poorly."
