We know the basics of tennis, like when it's out, when it's in, how to keep score, Kate knew how many games were in a set and I did not. We didn't know things like how to use those stupid score keepers, that we have to switch sides every odd game, and tiebreakers, don't even get me started. What a NIGHTMARE!
The good news is: we're quick, we're scrappy, we've had good coaches, and we've got tons of attitude. So we went in with our heads held high and we showed those 50-year-old ladies who's boss. At times, it definitely wasn't pretty, but we make a good team and we try not to hit each other in the back of the head when we serve. Amazingly we won all of our matches and walked away with $60 to Chili's and the most coveted title: 2.5 doubles champions....the best of the worst.
We dressed up for our last match, let's just say my mom was looking bitchin' in the 90s.

I think my favorite picture is the one where you two are standing on one side of the net, fifty-year-olds on the other side...and you all look insane/confused/angry.
...Yeah. That's definitely my favorite.
Wow, Kate - that's one serious tennis face. I've seen a similar face pulled before, but it was taken on the River years ago...

You guys beat a bunch of old women in tennis for diabetes and got a $60 gift certificate for doing it? This sounds like the feel good Saturday of the year. I need to play some more old people in tennis.
Is Chili's really the best gift card to be giving at a charity for diabetes?
great form, great outfits, great game faces.. see you at the US open next year!! xoxo :)
the fourth photo down is priceless.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! I know you told me about this in person, next time just show me the photos! Holy crap, these are hilarious! The one with the two of you at the net looking totally confused is my favorite... Just sayin.
