Absolutely on Fire

Titan 'answered the bell' this morning to Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz' wake up call at 5:45 a.m. TT put a big time hurtin' on his amigo a few hours later at the YTC. TennisTitan paired with Jeff 'Limo Man' Berkon in the first two of the three sets played this date against the tandem of 'GK'/Yossi. 'Limo Man' describes himself as new to the game but his play this morning seemed anything but. Jeff was accurate with his serve and his volleys were effective. With 'Limo Man' at his side TT put on one of his finer displays of all-court tennis. Titan had that rare combination going for him today - power and finesse, skill and luck, 'bookmarks' down the alley when necessary, followed by lasers at the feet of his opponents in leading 'Limo Man'/TT to convincing victories in the first two sets (6-2, 6-2). Everything went in for TT: from running lefthanded forehands for winners to half volley behind the baseline, TennisTitan had the Midas Touch. 'GK' could get nothing going against the 'boisterous behemoth.' Titan was taking an open book test; he had all the answers! TT continued his hot play in set 3 when he helped elevate Yossi's game (6-3) to victory. Titan managed to give 'Limo Man' a few tips on court strategy and the effectiveness of taking pace off he ball when playing against a bigger hitter. TT wishes he could bottle today's ability. It was his Dom Perignom! 'GK' paid his usual high tribute to TennisTitan as they left the court, "I hate you, you prick! I bring you to my game and you kick my ass for my friends to see. Set your own fuckin' alarm clock!" "Jose, gracias, mi amigo" was Titan's reply.
