I used to play a bunch when I was a little younger, have been playing 2-3 times a week this summer cause I found someone who can actually play.

yeah started playing this summer too. About the only exercise I have been getting. You going to the Open?
The other day all of a sudden I heard the sound of the racket hitting the ball on a serve. It was all in my head and I thought "WHOA where did that come from?" :eek: Made me realize how much I miss it.
I've been to it in the past..Flushing is only 30 minutes away, tix are pricey.This year probably not...I spent a bunch on PJ/Ed so I'd rather save for hopefully an '09 tour
Federer/Nadal aint got shit on me....bigtime jk
Get out and play, its also pretty cheap compared to playing 18 holes
I think I'll try my luck on clay this afternoon
That is the final I want to see (I wish). Grew up in Forest Hills so been to many many Opens over the years. Tried playing in HS and stunk up the place. Our team was actually good. Kind of gave it up until wife got interested.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
I just need someone to play with and I'm set!
Come on by!
I hear you on that, I used to have a handful of people back in the day...they all stopped playing or dont have time
You also have to find someone who can track down shots and return with a little pace...then its real fun and competitive
Good Luck
Sure!
That's a good day!
Thanks.
There is nothing like ripping a solid backhand winner down the line.
i miss playing so much!! i only get to these days when i head over to orlando and play with my best friend. we're not very good at all anymore, but once we get a good rally going it's such a great feeling
You play ping-pong? Just on a bigger scale
You should try it...I'd bet you would like it
I'm a dude
i was j/k
i used to play alot of tennis
just sucked at serving
and i hit home runs all the time.
my friends aren't so fond of my skills.
Practice,practice,practice
My serve used to suck
Now that I've been playing a few times a week for a few months..its gotten better. My second serve needs more pace, I usually slice it
I used to play at a pretty competitve level at the time
A couple of years ago, I had a buddy and we played about 3-4 times a week for about 6 months until I moved away and we were really competitive
Nothing I found in life has matched the competitiveness of mental and physical ability to play the sport. It's as much mentally tough as physically when you play at a high level.
I am planning on joining a tennis club when I get a full-time job and move out on my own

I am with you completely. Thats why its such an escape for me. I think of nothing besides tennis when I am playing. When I do play in leagues, I actually try to get in shape so I can compete.
Great way to clear your mind...I've had a tough year and playing hardcore since Memorial day weekend has brought balance to me.
Great chance to get cardio out of the way... I usually lift after I play
I need to find some competitive tennis friends

I play in USTA and a couple of local leagues both mens and mixed. So much fun. I do find it funny though that I play in the winter way more than i do in the summer which is the inverse I would guess of most.
A couple of the mixed teams I've been on have gone to Maine for sectionals which has been fun.
my most fun tennis story was this past fall when my buddy and i were in the club championship finals and were down 5-0 and came back to win 7-5 6-4, we got on such a roll we rattled off 9 straight games I believe.
and i agree with everyone else, unless life has me really really stressed, I walk on that court and it's all about hitting that little green ball.
