An Ill Wind Blows...

TennisTitan began his January Southern Senior Tour on an unexpected positive note. Titan clashed with his number one tennis adversary, 'Gentleman Jim' Stephens at Blue Crab Key this date and swept a pair of sets (6-3, 6-2) played in very windy conditions. 'CC Flash' was unable to adapt as well as TT to the gusting winds that plagued this 90 minute match from start to finish. True to form, 'CC Flash,' away from the singles game these past three weeks, started slowly but was unable to recover in his typical fashion. 'Flash' had dominated Titan during the latter half of the December tour primarily due to superior serving and crisp ground stroking. Neither skill was available to him this morning as he fell rather meekly to 'MLM' (man of limited movement) who was careful not to over hit and concentrated on working over 'Flash's backhand as much as possible. Titan knows that 'CC', last months "Colossus of the Court" will be sure to turn up next week when their matches resume on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. Stay tuned.
