I See a Pattern Developing

Well, it took some doing but Titan final got the wake up call for the second set today. Repeating an all too familiar pattern TT again dropped the first set to 'CC Flash' in a near blink of an eye. After holding and winning game one Titan hit the skids as 'Gentleman Jim' took control of the next three games, nary losing a point to take a (1-3) lead. TT managed a break in game 5 but continued his inability to master the tricky wind conditions to lose the set in very short order (2-6). Titan had watched the Aussie Open live from 3:30 am til 7:30 and was somnamulant as his feebly chased down 'Flash' incredible returns. TT managed to back up his hold in game 1 of set 2 with an early break and was never headed as more and more errors crept into Jim's game. Before he knew it Titan had taken the set from 'Flash' as easily as he had lost the opener (6-2). 'Flash' left the court scratching his beard trying to figure out how he manages to lose second sets to this 'bloated behemoth'. Titan can't figure it out either.
