Remember the "Iron Lady."

TennisTitan joined fellow morning group players Mario 'Zippy' Zino, Hanibal 'Caballero' and Tony 'No Baloney' Guido for three sets of fun tennis this morning at the Yonkers Tennis Center. TT paired with 'Zippy' in set 1 and put up an admirable fight (3-6) against the heavier hitting two some of 'NB'/'Caballero.' Your Titan came out firing and made a match out of this first set. 'Zippy' hung in there as best as he could but is overmatched by his brother-in-law's superior fire power. Set 2 saw 'Caballero'/Titan dominate (6-1) as Titan continued his heavy hitting and benefitted from 'Caballero's mobility in the forecourt. 'NB' and Titan eased up on the accelerator in the third set after establishing a four-love lead to win comfortably (6-3). As the boys met at net for the post match photo the Argentinians protested, "What' this, Titan? The Faulkland Island war of 1982. You're no Margaret Thatcher! 'NB' cooled down the testiness with, "TT, if a picture is worth a thousand words, you owe us - now get writing!"
