It was a pretty Good Friday

"No triple L today" was TennisTitan's first words to the Lean, Lanky, Lefty, Ed Gor this morning as they took the court against 'Gimpy Knees' Joe Cruz and Yossi 'on Israeli time.' Your Titan was determined that Ed would not suffer the same fate that befell him on other play dates he has had with the Titan. Ed would not walk off the court with three losses under his belt again. TT knew that if he could just hold his own against 'GK' that 'LLL' could out rally the man 'on Israeli time.' And so it unfolded. In the first set Titan got his serve cranking early and often and took advantage of the same quick start Ed had had in set one on Wednesday. The result a convincing (6-2) thumping of 'GK'/Yossi. The air came out of the balloon, however, a few games into set 2 as 'LLL's game declined and Titan's level dropped a notch also. TT/'LLL' pittered away a 2-1 lead into a (3-6) defeat as Yossi began to "be on NY time" and convert some winners at net. The third set ended with TT/'LLL' trailing at (3-4) with the outcome very much up for grabs. Titan's parting shot was this ace sent 'GK's way. "Joe, thanks for the wake up call at 5:45 this morning. Perhaps, I should do the same for you when you plan to time my serve!"
