Like Dominoes...

TennisTitan delivered late on this date. Your Titan hooked up in a two set barn burner against 'CC Flash' and somehow managed to eke out a sweep (7-6 (1) - 7-6 (2)) of the match neither man seemed to want. Winds played havoc with 'Gentleman Jim's' game and TT failed to capitalize on repeated opportunities presented to him by 'Flash' early on in both sets. In the first set Titan blew a 5-2 lead only to hold serve in the 12th game to force the breaker. Similarly in game 12 of the second set Titan reversed his failing fortunes and broke 'CC' to force the deciding thirteenth game. The second set featured a bevy of uncharacteristic double faults from 'CC' that again triggered his volatile temper displays. Indeed, 'Gentleman Jim' was unable to regroup for the tie breakers in either set and played his worst in both concluding games falling meekly to the weary and astonished 'Bloated Behemoth'. As 'Flash' departed BCK Titan was heard by Gene Menuez to say, "Jim, thanks for the early Christmas gifts, now if only my neighbor would teach me how to fish for reds."
