A Happy Father's Day

Playing tennis on any day would make the TennisTitan happy, getting a few sets in on Father's Day made him damn euphoric! Titan and nephew Rob 'Jersey Bomber' Briscoe hooked up for two post barbecue sets at Brookdale Community College in Monmouth County N.J. Both combatants came away somewhat satisfied by splitting the action (4-6, 6-3). The 'Jersey Bomber' lived up to his appellation demonstrating strong, if occasionally erratic, serving power. Titan's return of serve is what kept the match competitive. 'JB' swept the final three games of the opener to capture that win but stumbled badly in the second set and could not pull off another late charge. At picture time a midst the yelps from Titan's 'barking bichon' the 'Jersey Bomber' reminded TT in his best Marlon Brando voice, "Godfather, sometime I will ask a favor of you - and it will not involve tennis - but require you to muzzle that dog."
