The Mira Costa Miracle.

"Dad, let's face it, you said "Youth must be served" - and you can't." The words of the upstart Briscoe having just tasted his first victory - ever - against the 'ol man. Indeed, the Dell salesman was able to close the deal in the second set against the TennisTitan (3-6) by breaking early and sticking to his game plan. Titan had been mobile enough to counter 'Hoya Saxa' game plan of hitting short and containing his tendency to blast his groundies in set one (6-3) but TT did not have the gas to survive the gritty second set strategy as the day wore on. The 'Bombastic Blowhard' settled for playing at little known Mira Costa College in Carlsbad, Ca. 30 miles north of San Diego. Titan had been searching for those free court opportunities in Sampras and Davenport land up in Palos Verdes and Newport Beach to no avail. God, this is tennis country and tennis weather. With clear blue skies overlooking the Pacific as surfers rode the waves in, your Titan now knows the distractions others face when they play the 'boisterous bloviator' - Who can concentrate in these conditions!? Although Titan's record against Hoya Saxa is blemished forever, he is determined to leave Southern California this Saturday with a winning record. Maybe if I get the Dell salesman drunk...
