Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I've been out for a while with foot injuries, but I'm really looking forward to playing again. I'd like to meet a few people who would like to drill and/or play a few sets on a weekly basis (one-time meetups are fine too, but I need some motivation for regular play). If you're interested, I'm probably a 3.5 player (4.0 when I was at my peak) but it will take me a couple weeks to get back into it.

I am moving near the Central Square T stop soon, and I work at Kendall, so I'd be happy to play anywhere on the nearby redline.

Two other little tennis dreams, if anyone is interested: First, I'd love to play doubles again. I don't currently have friends who play tennis, so I know this would be a bit trickier, but I miss having a regular doubles partner and practicing doubles strategies. Second, I've never played on clay. If anyone knows where a good clay court is and wants to plan a match or two, I'd be very grateful.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
I grew up on Agassi. Now I rarely watch.... sad, I know.
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
Not bad., NTRP 3.5
On the court, I am a:
poacher, doubles partner, singles player, acer, two-hander, top-spinner, grunter, lobber
My favorite local courts:
MIT, Boston Common, or anything close
Relationship status:
Married
