ComeUppance

TennisTitan joined 'Rockin' Rick Ricci, Tony ' No Baloney' Guido and 'Hanibal the 'Caballero' for two sets at the YTC this morning. Titan might as well have stayed in bed! Your Titan paired with 'RRR' in the opener and quickly saw the handwriting on the wall. TT not only didn't have his legs but brought nothing to the table in terms of his service or return games. The 'boisterous behemoth' was notably subdued this morning because he couldn't buy a first serve nor handle the service of 'NB' or 'Caballero' in dropping the set (2-6). The second set presented an even greater challenge for TT. 'Caballero' brought his 'A' game this date and given effective support from the Titan could have easily expected to come away with a "W" for his efforts. TT/'Caballero' surrenderd their 4-2 lead to 'RRR'/'NB' by losing three games in a row primarily due to Titan mishits and an inability to return serve. Titan's only solace this date was hanging tough on serve in games 12 and 16 to prolong the match and by keeping out of 'Caballero's way! The quartet was bumped from the court with TT again trying to extend the set (9-10, 30-30). "NB's attempt at comforting the 'bloated blowhard' at net was for naught, "Titan, look at it this way. We all have our bad days, turns out that yours was an especially good day for us. We didn't have to listen to as much gibberish from the bombastic bloviator!"
