Beat Down - Family Style

TennisTitan hooked up for a set of unexpected singles this afternoon at Blue Crab Key. Russell 'Hoya Saxa' Briscoe visited the family compound and laid a (3-6) whipping on the ol' man in front of a half dozen senior citizens walking the perimeter of the resort complex. At the sets conclusion the 25 year old computer salesman from Austin, Texas taunted his father by suggesting that those activities outside the fence would seem more suitable for a mobility restricted senior than chasing down a ball being returned at 85mph. Indeed the outcome of this well played set was determined by 'HS's ability to run down balls men twice his age wouldn't try for and pounding his serve and groundies at speeds TennisTitan can only dream about. As the father-son tandem met at net the senior Briscoe opined, "Russ, you've got a Dell'ova game now." The upstart business executive quipped, "You're lucky tennis wins are not based on commissions, dad. You'd be on the unemployment line looking for extended benefits a long time ago."
