Sartorial Splendor

TennisTitan paired with Rich 'Presidente' Prezioso for two sets against John 'Irish 'Galllagher and Max 'Tutotr Tuchman this date at the Yonkers Tennis Center. TT/'Prez' came away with a sweep of both sets (6-2, 6-4). Titan was far from his best but had sufficient fire power to overwhelm 'Irish' and 'Tutor' when needed in a well played contest. 'Prez' hustle and Titan's return game and lobs over the net man gave little chance for an upset by the elder pair. The most entertaining points were those fashioned by the rallies between 'Prez' going forehand against 'Irish' backhand, with neither man being exactly sure of hitting the ball on the sweet spot consistently to win the point outright. It is a game of errors, however. 'Irish' sported his usual unconventional tennis garb; a long sleeve flannel shirt and black dress socks to challenge his opponents' concentration. In an abbreviated third set Titan/'Irish' were down 1-4 on the verge of winning the sixth game when play was mecifully ended by the sartorial police.
