Another Day at the Office

TennisTitan opened the week at the YTC with a highly competitive match featuring Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz, Tony 'No Baloney' Guido and 'Rocking Rick' Ricci. TT was a late substitution for the 7:30 match. The first two sets paired 'No Baloney' with Titan against 'Gimpy Knees' and 'Rockin Rick.' Titan/'NB' gifted the first set (4-6) before overwhelming the opposition (6-1) in set two. Kudos to 'GK' and 'RR' who fell behind early in the match (3-1) and rallied to pull off the mild upset by breaking 'NB's usually reliable serve in the tenth game. Titan served timidly in his two opportunities and distinguished himself only in a few approach shots and two left handed forehands hit for winnners. TT continues to frustrate 'Gimpy Knees' by taking pace off Joe's returns that lead to unforced errors. Titan joined with 'Rocking Rick' for the third set (4-4) that provided a nice measure of satisfaction for the 'man of limited movement.' 'RR' plays a steady if unspectacular game and, like TT, is not an offensive threat making the final result that much more enjoyable against the likes of two hard hitters.
