A Briscoe Has Got to Win!

Yeah, tonight the TennisTitan stacked the deck in favor of a Briscoe. TT had the pleasure of competing in two sets against his nephew Rob "The Rail' Briscoe as a prelude to a wonderful dinner prepared by his wife, Mrs. Therese Briscoe during a family gathering of the Briscoe clan in Monmouth Co. Your Titan again found himself in a tony neighborhood, this time Colts Neck NJ, displaying his particular brand of school yard, in-your-face tennis. Rob was gracious enough to agree to a match having not eaten and after a full day's work. Titan appropriately made short work of him in the first set and provided the nourishing bagel (6-0). Rob opened the second set with a hold and after dropping the next four games to the 'bloated behemoth' responded with three of his own to level the contest at four games a piece. Your Titan broke his nephew's heart (and serve) in the critical ninth game coming back from 40 love to steal the multi deuce game. TennisTitan administered the coup d' gras at love in game ten (6-4). As the pair exited the facility a crestfallen Briscoe was heard to murmur a Marlon Brando line to his Uncle Tom, "Godfather, some day I may ask something of you... it may be to teach me how to construct a point against boisterous blowhards I may play!"
