Titan Basqued in all his glory!

Your TennisTitan tasted the fruits of his membership in the Westchester Meetup Tennis Group for the first time this morning. With Kinsley Park undergoing much needed rehabilitation Titan and George'Chemist' Hauss ventured to tony Harrison NY to engage in a doubles match with the father and son duo, Xanti and Eric Egana. TT/'Chemist' had too much game for the Eganas who were new to doubles and had only faced each other as opponents in singles. With the Yonkers boys dominating the first two sets (0, 3) the teams were reshuffled to allow for more competitive play with TT and 'Chemist' playing a set with each Egana. Both men prospered when paired with 25 year old Eric in defeating Papa Egana (2, 2). As Titan and 'Chemist' retreated to the parking lot at Harrison HS Titan remarked to 'Chemist,' "Georgie, it cost us $5 each to play in this upscale community, you'd think they would have a working water fountain." To wit the elder 'Papa' Egana opined, "In my country, the Basque people are proud of their ability in handball and jai alai." Eric chirped, "Dad, Titan and 'Chemist' could have beaten us today with cestas instead of racquets. Vamos Papa! Adios amigos"
