Racquet Insurance - A Must

Your Titan was at Edgement HS this morning for three sets of tennis with 'Rockin' Rick, 'Triple L' and Yossi 'on Israeli' time. Titan paired with 'on Israeli time' and managed to sandwich two victories (6-2, 7-5) between one dud (2-6). TT was determined to use this opportunity as a light workout prior to his much anticipated match later today on the clay at Amackassin. Tempers flared between 'RRR' and 'on Israeli time' toward the end of the third set over disagreement(s) about line calls. (See picture above). 'RRR' had a fine day with his service and was frustrated by his team's inability to overcome miscues at net. 'On Israeli time' was similarly chagrined by TT's unwillingness to hit hard and flat during most of the match. TT's reliance on lobs and placement returns is not Yossi's cup of tea unless he reaps the benefit of easy put-aways at net. Titan continues to advocate that the best pairing among these four players would have 'LLL' as TT's partner, and have 'RRR' play with Yossi. For sure 'on Israeli time' would no longer complain about not getting enough exercise and would be annoyed with TT's shot selection for a much different reason. 'RRR' would have a more skilled player at net eliminating some of his frustration. And TT would enjoy implementing the strategy to make 'Triple L's strenghts come to the fore! But someone bring an extra racquet, okay.
