Marital Strife

"Well 'Rockin' Rick - consider us divorced! I'm suing for non-support (6-7 [1]). And as for you 'Spindly', we are legally separated (2-6, 4-6)." Your Titan upbraided his partners with these words because they were no where to be found on the Kinsley courts this morning in the first three of the 'bombastic blowhard's four losses. Titan had had his 'A' game working in the set one heartbreaker against the 'Big Al' Dio Dati and the tandem of 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz (1-4 partial) and the substituting 'King' Gene Slattery when the roof fell in the braker. 'RRR,' who couldn't buy a volley or come close to controlling his forehand in the first set in the swirling, gusting winds condition that plagued today's play, found religion in sets two and three as he and 'GK' handled the erratic 'Spindly Legs'/TT. George 'Chemist' Hauss, who had successfully paired ( 6-3, 6-4) with Frank 'Slats' Slattery in contests against 'Big Al' and then Mike 'not so' Stella/'King' Gene,' offered no respite from Titan's disappointing morning. 'Chemist'/TT frittered away their 4-2 lead to drop the finale (4-6) to 'King' Gene/(suddenly) 'Stella Fella'! An ego-bruised TennisTitan was chastened at net by the 'Chemist's rebuke, "Don't start, Titan, we aren't even dating in the future!"
