Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
Started playing late - 21 y/o. Best tennis shape was around 27-28 when I was playing several times a week and actively participated in tourneys. Now, I am 37 and had a break from active playing for about 6-7 years (about may be 3-4 times a year) - getting back in shape, this year I play about 2-3 times a month and would like to get in touch with more active player to ramp up...
I have not had a chance to compare myself to a rated player recently but according to description (http://ww3.telerama.com/~johnv/tennis/tennis17.htm) I should be around 4.x+ (looking forward to meet you guys and see what I really worth ;-))
If you would like to contact me - write an email to tennis.4.sergei@gmail.com - I check it several times a week.
(Don't worry about my shape - I am ok now - run 5mi several times a week, cycle to DC couple of times a month)
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Sampras, Agassi (however I am a big supporter of my country men - Safin, for example ;-))
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
Not bad., NTRP 4.0, What's NTRP?, Don't know my what my rating is.
On the court, I am a:
slicer, doubles partner, singles player, returner, one-hander, baseliner, all courter
My favorite local courts:
I like Georgetown University courts to play with friends - too far for casual playing for me though with my busy schedule.
Usually: Corner of Old Keen Mill Rd and Burke Centre Pkwy, Burke and pretty much any local courts in Burke, VA
Hey Sergei - we should definitely try to play. I am tied up thru Monday, but later in the week may work...or whatever. I have access to all the courts in Burke Centre, so there is no problem there. I am an average player....especially for an old lady!
I feel like 100 years old sometimes - as far as spirit is up age is not a ruler :-). Let's wait till Sunday to see how weather turns out and then decide about the day time - the best days for me are Tue/Wed/Fri PM + weekends. My email is tennis.4.sergei@gmail.com
