Who Knew?

Your TennisTitan accepted the invitation of Gene 'once a King' Slattery to participate in some round robbin mini sets at the Amackassin Tennis Club this evening. TT knew that this would be excellent preparation for his Tuesday match with 'El Presidente' on the BriarCliff Manor clay. Titan paired with Frank 'Slats' Slattery in the first two mini sets, winning the first easily against 'Happy Jack' Carey and Rich 'RC Cola' Condon before dropping the second in a cliff hanger to David 'Crafty Lefty' Jenkins and Brian 'Hit it Right' Wright. What your Titan didn't know was that his final mamby-pamby mini set would turn into a bloggable affair. With no other opponents available Titan and his partner 'The Imperial Caesar' would go the distance (6-4) to hand 'Crafty Lefty' Jenkins and 'Hit it Right' Wright their only defeat of the evening. Before the traditional photo opp could be arranged at net the 'Crafty Lefty' had slithered away and the 'Imperial Caesar' was heard mumbling "Et tu Brute" as he hastened to the locker room. 'Hit it Right' said "You've got to be kidding. You're a TennisTitan, like I built the first airplane!"
