Mayhem in the A.M.

TennisTitan continued his recent resurgence today at the YTC. Again he paired with Tony "No Baloney' Guido against Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz and 'Rockin' Rick' Ricci. What can I say? Again TT was on fire and had his mojo working throughout the 90 minutes of action. Titan mixed effective serving (6/6 holds) with consistent support from the baseline to enable he and 'NB' to score impressive (6-3,6-3, 2-1 partial) victories. 'NB' was spry at net, covering the forecourt so effectively that the few volleys TT bricked were inconsequential. This tandem dominated most games on their serve, and the few that they did not, hung tough to pull out the game by playing near flawless tennis on the long points. Titan's serve had pop. TT had a slew of services winners along with three aces that brought oohs and aahs from the gallery. He painted the alley with winners and drove opponents into the netting attempting to retrieve cross court lasers. The 'man of limited movement' generated 23 winners as opposed to his 14 unforced errors. Titan is hopeful of siding with 'GK' against 'NB' and Rockin' Rick' at their next match. Indeed, Titan chortled to Rick Ricci as the foursome left the court, "Ricky boy, today I rocked your world. You and my amigo (GK) might as well have taken a vacation day when Titan brings his 'A' game!"
