Different Park, Same ...

TennisTitan and fellow enthusiast George 'Chemist' Hauss took to the courts this evening for two sets of fun tennis at a new venue for the Titan. The pair graced Edith Welty Park in central Yonkers after being rebuffed by the overflow crowd at Andrus Park on Central Av. Your Titan continued his recent mastery over his erstwhile rival capturing the sets (4 and 1). TT fell behind quickly in the opener (1-4) as the 'Chemist' returned several reflex half volleys from the baseline to the Titan's chagrin breaking the 'bloated behemoth' twice with little difficulty. Titan staved off the onslaught in game 6 with a difficult hold and proceeded to run the table (5 games in a row). 'Chemist' opened set 2 with a hold but could not find the answer to solve Titan's consistent return game and effective service as TennisTitan ripped off six in a row. 'Chemist' who aced the 'bombastic blowhard' four times during the match launched his sharpest delivery as the boys headed to the exit with, "Titan, this is the place for you. With so few houses nearby, it's like when a tree falls in the woods..."
