Some things you Can't OVERCOME, Dr. King

TennisTitan and 'cc Flash' celebrated MLK Day in their favorite fashion. It was a "feel good about yourself holiday" for them too. Or at least it was for 'Flash.' 'Gentleman Jim' swept both sets today (4-6, 1-6) with the results unfortunately impacted by a troubling phone call received by TT at the 4-5 change over in set one. Titan learned that his ailing sister in NY was awaiting EMT service to transport her to hospital due to breathing issues. TT had taken an early 3-1 lead in the set only to lose a multi-deuce 7th game due to a controversial 'let call' on a Titan service winner that prolonged a game that gave 'Flash' a lead. After breaking back in game eight, Titan choked big time at 40-15 in the deciding ninth game. Then the phone call. Not only did his serve desert the Titan, but even more so, the heart, that will to win that Titan needs to compete at his best. Ergo the second set rout by a relentless 'Flash.' So today readers it was not a leg cramp but rather a brain cramp that did the Titan in!!!
