"Oh, my aching legs!"

Your Titan was all set to renew hostilities in singles against the 'Engineer' when fate intervened this date. TennisTitan still had the bitter aftertaste of that bagel George served up in the third set yesterday but was saved by the opportunity to join two of 'Engineer's tennis cohorts in some doubles instead. In the opening set Titan/'Engineer teamed' for a (6-0) thrashing of Gordon 'The Computer Prof' Couturier and Roger 'I'm Not Fred' McMurry. To be fair both men had just completed 90 minutes of mixed doubles play when they were prevailed upon to 'play on' and join TT and 'Engineer.' "Oh, my aching legs" was Titan's thought as he faced a possible third consecutive day of singles. The second set saw Titan pair with 'The Computer Prof' in a spirited and evenly played match (7-5) against 'not Fred'/'Engineer.' George continued his improved play this date and looks to be a formidable foe for TT. Both 'The Computer Prof' and 'Not Fred' showed significant potential in the later games of the set as they got away from the patty-cake ladies game and began to hit out. Titan will be sure to include them on his dance card the next foray to The Tennis and Sail Club when he resumes his Southern Senior Tour later this winter.
