Big Game Hunter

TennisTitan engaged in a one-set tune up at the YTC this afternoon in anticipation of his 'big' Friday morning match. Titan replaced Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz for the final set in the foursome of Max 'Tutor' Tuchman, 'Big Al' Dio Dati and Jim Addiss 'Abada.'TT witnessed 'GK'/'Big Al' succumb easily to the tandem of 'Tutor'/'Abada' (6-3, 6-2) as the winners dominated both sets from the net and the backline. 'Abada' was particularly sharp, offering crisp volleys and well placed overheads that ended most points quickly. 'GK' continued to attempt his power game against 'Abada' to no avail. He was out-volleyed as well as out hit. TT, who has had success against the more skilled 'Abada' in the past, was disappointed to partner with Jim Addiss in the final match which brought forth the predictable results (6-2). Titan wanted to go against 'Abada.' Titan is more adaptable with his game plan than 'GK' and TT is capable of taking away 'Abada's strengths. 'Big Al' does not complement 'Tutor's net play from the back court when confronted with hard hitters or adept volleys. 'Tutor' quipped to 'Big Al' as the disgruntled duo left the court, "Al, who knew that the Titan would use us as a "tune up" for his "big game"? TT always claimed that we were Big Game in his eyes."
