Rent Increases and such

TennisTitan was right back at it. Barely 16 hours after his sound thumping at the YTC on Thursday afternoon your Titan was ready for more action at 8 A.M. Aching legs be damned! TT paired with Perry 'Landlord' Gault in two fun sets of doubles against Don 'Shillelagh Man' Carmody and 'Billy the Kraut' Goebelbecker. Titan/'Landlord' out lasted their opposition in the only set played to completion (9-7). The set was a challenge for the Titan who had to do some heavy lifting to extend many games to put his team in a position to win this evenly contested match. The experienced team of 'Shillelagh Man'/'Kraut' played well in handling TT's pace, prolonging points, and making 'Landlord ' play many volleys that he is ill-equiped to return. The tide had turned in set 2 as Titan was offered a reprieve by the bell with he and 'Landlord' down love-four in games and fading fast. 'Landlord' quipped as the foursome exited the court, "Titan, I wish my tenants came up with the rent as quick as you return that running cross court forehand." TT smiled sheepishly and retorted, "Perry, good things can happen when you start getting your racquet on the ball at net and sometimes lob your returns over the opposition, instead of always trying to go with a sharp-angled cross court return. It's like when the control board approves dramatic rent increases."
