Let it Begin

Titan had declared the first Saturday in April the official opening of the 2014 outdoor season at Kinsley while luxuriating on the beach at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs last week. So, he with six other stalwart Kinsleyites rolled the court dry this morning and engaged in three spirited sets of doubles in windy Yonkers.
Fittingly 'Rockin' Rick Ricci drew TennisTitan as his partner against 'Dave the Rave' and Frank 'Slats' Slattery. 'RRR'/TT squandered a 4-2 lead as they were outlasted (4-6) on the long points by their more fleet afoot opposition. 'Happy Jack' Carey and George 'Deli Man' Hauss also succumbed  (2-6) to that same pairing.The 'bloated blowhard's morning was salvaged when Titan and the 'Deli Man' held on for a (7-5) triumph over Rick 'dozin' docent Gerchak and Rockin' Rick.
