"Still crazy after all these years."
Yup, that was TennisTitan's thought as he awakened at 5:30 A.M. TennisTitan was facing his last opportunity to play 'CC Flash' in singles on this segment of the Southern Senior Tour this date. It would be a fourth consecutive day on the court and again in difficult conditions against an opponent who doesn't know the word "tired." 'Gentleman Jim' had his way with me last Friday (0,1) and he had bageled me earlier in the week too! Damn, a much weaker ' Engineer' had bageled me in the third set on Saturday. The prospects were not good, but what the hell... Titan sucked it up and refused to cancel. Indeed, he refused to lose. With the refrain of another Simon and Garfinkel tune in his head, "Slip Sliding Away" your Titan, who had given away a 4-1 lead needed a break to level the contest at six games a piece in the 12th game, came up with the goods. Titan proceeded to hold in the 13th game and close it out at love by breaking (not so) 'Gentleman Jim' to complete his Southern Senior Tour on a positive note (8-6). "One set is all I can take today," opined Titan at net. 'Flash' reminded Titan, "Hey, Yankee, that's one more game than I needed to beat your sorry ass twice on Friday!" "See ya next time!"
