MiniHAHA Sets

TennisTitan and five of his mates engaged in a fun morning of round-robin doubles this balmy winter day on a wet court at Kinsley. With temperatures in the low 60's these boys of summer did their utmost to build TT's confidence on this the Titan's last play date in NY before heading to Blue Crab Key for four weeks. Titan drew the long straw as the sixth arriving player and consequently was paired with Carl 'Spindly Legs' Gessman for the morning's activities. TT/'SL' dominated play defeating 'Happy Jack' Carey and George 'Chemist' Hauss in the first of four mini sets (4-3). 'HJ'/'Chemist' had first defeated 'Big Al' Dio Dati and Frank 'Slats' Slattery (6-2) to earn the initial right to defend court one. TT/'SL' then dispatched "Big Al'/'Slats' (4-1), 'HJ'/'Chemist' (4-2) and 'Big Al'/'Slats' (4-1) in subsequent miniHAHAs! Regretably 'HJ'/'Chemist' had the last laugh however, defeating the leg weary Titan and 'Spindly Leg' (3-6). As the sixsome met at net Gessman opined, "Titan between the two of us, we might have one good leg." Happy Jack interjected, "Carl, your wife might question that 'good' leg! Slats retorted "Titan, since you've said you don't blog partial sets, I guess your play was equal to mine... we both lost one set to 'Chemist' and 'Happy Jack." "Atta, boy Frankie, I knew we didn't play that badly" chirped 'Big Al' as he guzzled his Snapple.
