Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
-Looking to meet more people rated 4.5 or so (male or female) for singles close-in eastside. If people are available non-peak hours (mornings or days) even better than eves/weekends, when most courts are packed and there's a wait.
-Also wouldn't mind getting a group of 4 together for some doubles down the road, ideally close to same level, mixed doubles OK too.
-At some point (maybe while on a road trip) would love to try the grass courts out in Baker City, in eastern Oregon.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Agassi, Becker, Nadal, Roddick, Djokovic, Safina, Venus
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
NTRP 4.5
On the court, I am a:
rightie, singles player, serve-n-volleyer, acer, returner, two-hander, one-hander, gamer, top-spinner, baseliner, all courter
My favorite local courts:
**Evenings/Weekends: Grant Park (NE 33rd) - 6 courts (upper 3 better)
**Off-Peak Times: Laurelhurst Park (SE 38th + Stark) - only 2 courts but closest to me
**Also enjoy: Mt. Tabor courts (west or east), Sellwood Park, and Washington Park (the ones near Japanese Gardens). Open to try others too.

    hey! wow if you're a possible 4.0 im definately not there right now! maybe if i get serious and play a few times a week. Im worried you might be a little too advanced for me right now. Im not even sure how i would play because its been so long! i just wouldnt want you to be bored. But after i get out and hit and feel comfortable i think we could have a good time!

    Hey Gabe, thanks for the comment. It would be great to go and hit sometime, maybe even try a game. Laurelhurst is my preferred spot, too. I'm free today or this weekend (afternoons) so let me know if you want to play. Not too wet yet today. Otherwise, keep me in mind for future good-weather days.
