Ahem, "Not Getting Older, Getting Better"

Your Titan was at it again. TT was one of six players up at Edgemont HS this morning engaging in an all-out effort to remain young as his 6oth birthday draws near. TennisTitan and Yossi 'I'm on Israeli time' Newman teamed up for some exciting ball. 'Rockin' Rick' Ricci and Frank 'Workman' Buckley fell prey to the Titan and Yossi (6-3) in the opener. The U.S. Open-bound doubles team of 'RRR'/'Workman' were vanquished to the "singles" court with strong play by Yossi and ample support from TT, where they watched in awe as TT/'on Israeli time' held extremely tough against The 'No Baloney' man - Tony Guido - and Ed, Triple L, Gor in the second set. 'NB'/'LLL" did everything but win the set from TT/Yossi. On serve and leading throughout the entire set by one or two games, 'NB'/'LLL' could only tip their cap to TT as the Titan staved off six (6) set points to "run the clock out" and have the match end in a draw (6-6). Titan saved his "pop" on the serve for the crucial 12th game when he delivered "big time" to keep hope alive. Sweeter still was TT's non-tradional back-to-back aces to close it out as he used his folly floater successfully on consecutive first serves.
