U.S. Open Preview?

The Titan joined five of his mates for some fun sets of doubles this date. Frank "Workman" Buckley and 'Rockin' Rick' Ricci teamed in the first three of the four sets played under far from ideal conditions. Gusting winds added to the regularly encountered sun and shadow factors that effect the courts at Edgemont H.S. in the morning. The combination of Buckley/Ricci is an entry in the 3.5, over 45 years of age category at the 2006 U.S. Open. 'Workman'/'RRR' met with much success today sweeping all 3 contests (6-2, 6-0) against Tony 'No Baloney' Guido and Ed 'LLL' Gor that were sandwiched between a victory over TT/Yossi (6-3). The fourth set featured TennisTitan joining with Triple L to defeat 'RRR'/Yossi (6-4) who remained firmly 'on Israeli time.' The group was reminded by Triple L as they left the court that their year end (of the indoor season) breakfast is scheduled for tomorrow at 9 A.M. at the Mt. Olympus diner. To wit TT replied, "Eddie, I felt we climbed Mt. Olympus today, coming back to win the final set as we did." 'No Baloney' chimed in, "Titan, do you think I should order an edible bagel tomorrow?" 'Rockin Rick' retorted, "Tony, you were in the Alps today, I think it was Mt. Blanc!" Ed Gor said, "Titan, enough of the "L's" make sure you put a "W" next to my name today."
