All Good Things Come to an End

TT met 'CC Flash' this date in another two setter. The outcome today was more typical of their level of play against each other. Although 'CC Flash' continued to struggle with his serve throughout the morning match he managed to end Titan's recent five set winning streak against him in the second set, taking it convincingly (1-6) due to his superior conditioning. Titan could not sustain his level of play in set two that had led him to capture the opening set (6-4). In set one 'Gentleman Jim' had rallied from a (4-2) deficit to level the match at four. 'Flash' then proceeded to lose the next eight points much to the Titan's delight. 'Flash' displayed his usual intemperate outbursts, flinging his racquet on three occasions, and managing to trip himself in the process on his final fling in game 11 of the first set. But who's to say that this emotional venting did not lead to the dominance he displayed in the set that followed. 'Flash' promised more of this same 'Mountaineer Music' when the two hook up again on Friday
