"Snake Eyes" = Pair of Sixes
Your TennisTitan is entertaining both his sons at Blue Crab Key this weekend. What better thing to do than play tennis if the boat is not yet in the water. Who cares if it is 57 degrees and the winds are swirling at 15-20mph? Not the Titan or his son, Jeff 'Big Daddy' Briscoe who 'got it on' for a two setter in these conditions earlier today. And what a marked contrast in performance and results over the 75 minute affair. Indeed only 12 games were played! TT was near run off the court by the determined play and big service of 'Big Daddy' in set one as Titan only managed to win 13 points in the entire set (0-6). Who would have figured that 'Big Daddy,' dropping the opening game of set 2 with 3 double faults would have sent his confidence into a tailspin? Certainly not TT who failed to distinguish himself in any game played today. Yet the Titan managed to be less affected by the windy conditions than his opponent (see yesterday's performance against 'CC Flash') and continued getting his three quarter speed serve in to Jeff's backhand effectively as 'BD's serve went awry. TT contested each and every point in set two winning three multi-deuce games to capture the set (6-0). As 'Big Daddy' said as they left the court, "Not bad for an old man, now where are you taking us out for dinner?"
