Just Desserts

TennisTitan engaged in a two setter against 'CC Flash' this date and returned to form. Titan was unable to generate any offense against his superior conditioned opponent and fell meekly to 'Gentlemem Jim' (3-6, 3-6). Indeed 'Flash' was never threatened by a Titan who was the 'MLM' (man of limited movement) for this engagement. 'Flash,' also performing on his third consecutive day of tennis appeared as fresh at the end of this ninety minute match as when he walked on the court. Titan was unable to do much after establishing a 3-1 lead in the opening set. Indeed, in dropping the fourth game to TT 'Flash' flung his racquet over the fence in disgust but was able to marshall his forces atypically this date to run the table and win the next five games. TT won the opening (and best) game of the second set breaking 'CC' after seven deuces but seemingly exhausted all his reserves in so doing. 'Flash quickly broke back, and broke the Titan again in games four and six to win going away. Titan credits 'Flash' for his restrained play in the adverse (20 mph winds) conditions. 'Flash' bid TT ta-ta with his wry smile saying, "So much for Christmas gifts, Blowhard!"
