Nailed...Make that Hammered

TennisTitan has nothing to hide behind after today's debacle. He was out hit, out played, and out hustled plain and simple by 'CC Flash' in this morning's two set affair. Titan started out reasonably well enough holding serve his first two opportunities but could do nothing against the superior conditioned athlete who also refused to be broken. TT dropped serve in the fifth game and never recovered losing the opening set to 'Gentleman Jim' (4-6). Truth to tell this set was not that close as 'CC' held easily throughout and Titan struggled mightily in each game. By the second set your Titan had no gas in the tank and was fortunate to win the two games that he did in the (2-6) rout. 'Flash' was dominant getting twelve consecutive first serves in with pace at one time and demonstrating prowess in all aspects of his game. There was no breaking down his backhand today and TT was woefully inept with his placement and lack of pop on his serve and return game. TT will be giving it another go next week as he wraps up his Southern Tour but is considering renaming 'CC' (Cape Coral) Colossus of the Court!
