Antepasta

TennisTitan was back at his regular haunt this evening for some fun singles at Kinsley. Your Titan managed to get George 'Chemist' Hauss for a game on very short notice. TT had been stood up for his prearranged meeting on the clay courts of Amackassin by the Slattery clan. Neither Frank 'Slats' nor the 'King' Gene (nor anyone else for that matter) was at the prestigious Yonkers club to give the bombastic bloviator' a work out. Too bad because Titan would have liked to give them the same hurtin' he managed to lay on the 'Chemist' in their first set (6-1). 'Der Chemiker' made good on his promise "to put up a better fight" in the second set by reversing the tide nicely (2-6). 'Chemist's court coverage was the difference maker. As the pair met at net 'Chemist' related, "Titan, your play this evening was so uncharacteristic of what you usually bring to the table at this time of day" With a wink and a nod Titan responded, "It's probably because I didn't sit at a table before I played. And I was so looking forwarded to having those Slatterys for antepasta."
