Zippidy-Doo-Dah

Your Titan hit the ground running (ok, would you believe walking fast?) this morning as he rejoined his morning group at the Yonkers Tennis Center, (not so) fresh from four weeks in Florida . TennisTitan paired with Mario 'Zippy' Zino for two fun-filled sets against Jeff 'LimoMan' Berkon and Yossi 'Israeli Time' Newman. Titan relishes this pairing because 'Zippy' appears to lack confidence in his game and has a problematic shoulder. Moreover, it is more fun to toy with 'Israeli Time' and watch the fireworks between he and 'LimoMan' over court coverage responsibilities. Titan did not bring "pop" to his game, choosing today to play placement tennis and let the light shine brightly on Zippy. Mario's game improved perceptibly over the two sets (6-4, 6-2) and he was more than able to handle the disproportionate amount of returns sent his way. Titan happily paired with 'Israeli Time' for the third set (4-1 partial). TT couldn't determine whose smile was broader for that decision. Yossi, who loves to be on the winning side, or 'LimoMan' who opined at the handshake, "Somehow, I feel like a winner too."
