Role Reversal
TennisTitan and CC Flash engaged in an epic two setter this morning with Titan coming away the beaten but unbowed performer. Titan dropped both sets (3-6, 6-7 (4)) to the more well conditioned athlete. TT fell behind in both sets but played valiantly in the 80 degree, humid temperatures that basked the BCK courts. TennisTitan had the second set on his racquet when serving at 6-5, ad-in but couldn't get the job done as 'Gentleman Jim' played especially well on the big points. Titan's serve abandoned him as the match wore on in the oppressive conditions. TT uncharacteristically double faulted 4 times in the 105 minute marathon due to the drain on his stamina. It's tough looking at your opponent who has barely broken a sweat when you have 20 ounces of perspiration saturating your shirt as you try to elevate your legs to get a second serve in with pace. 'Gentlemen Jim' had most of the answers today but Titan feels very good about his overall effort, rallying from break-down in both sets to make this a very competitive match. Both performers thought that today's play was the high water mark of this tour. Titan shall head to the Pine Island flats this afternoon to give the fish a run for their money. But he is itching to get back on the courts and doubts that he can wait until his rematch with 'CC Flash' on Monday. 'Big Daddy' Jeff will be here Sunday and TTs got something cooking with a new opponent who has contacted him.
