    Hi Paul

    Thanks for invite. After work next week will work well. I work down town and have a flexable schedule so picking a place and time shouldn't be to hard. Any suggestions? I've always wanted to play downtown in grant park but I'm not sure if they fill up fast in the evenings .....so maybe west/south loop is better. Let me know your thoughts.

    Garfield Park would be perfect, I've never played there before but it's definitely accessible for me. I can't play this weekend but I'm open during the day for most of next week. When would work best for you?
  • Jacob GIlbert

    that sounds great. See you at 11 at Garfield
  • Fahhad

    Sounds good. I don't mind hitting around...
  • Fahhad

    Yea I know where Roosevelt park is. Is there parking there though?
  • Fahhad

    Maybe we can get a group or so together and hit singles on a few courts??
  • Raj

    evenings and weekends are best. my email is: sulolitmukherjee@gmail.com.

    hey, what happened?
  • Jacob GIlbert

    no worries, it was difficult to find, I used the google satellite photo and then hunted them down, still wasn't easy. Would you be up for playing tomorrow? I could meet you at the green line station. There were 4 netted courts, totally open, nets could be higher, but lack of people made up for everything. call me 718-208- 5941
  • Jacob GIlbert

    how about 10 am. Do you take the green line in? If so I could meet you at the green line downstairs.
  • Jacob GIlbert

    cool, see you tomorrow at 10.
  • SangIkBaek

    hi paul i was so busy so i couldn't contact you

    do you have a time on thursday?
  • SangIkBaek

    see you tomorrow
    ~~
  • Jacob GIlbert

    can you play tommorrow around 10?
  • Jacob GIlbert

    If you're confident that we can get a court at Roosevelt, I'll play there. Can you resend me the directions on how to get there from the Green line?
  • Jacob GIlbert

    cool, see you at 10 am tommorrow at Green Line stop at State and Roosevelt
  • Fahhad

  • Rekha

    hey paul, yeah the weather does look good... sorry didnt see ur email till now. but if u still want to play today i would be up for it.
  • Gloria

    Doh, I just saw your message now. Sorry about that! And now it's too cold to play outside.... If by some miracle it warms up and you want to play, probably best to email me at Duckhead103285@hotmail.com.
  • Mark / The Mayor

    Come play along in the Australian Open Pick 'em Bracket Challenge. A fun way to follow the first major of the year!

  • Danielle Eiseman

    Hey Paul, sounds good. I am going to be out of town for the next week and a half, but we could start up in the first week of April.
  • Janosik

    Waveland sounds great but it's hard to get a court over there. If you are from south side I like playing on UIC courts:

  • Janosik

    How about this Sunday, March 22nd ?
  • Janosik

    Sure. Weather is a key factor :-)) 11 am sounds gr8. Let's confirm on Saturday.
  • Janosik

    Join USTA Group on Facebook. It seems there are more people willing to play.

  • Janosik

    No problem but I can't make it at 11AM. Can we play at 9 AM instead ? Let me know.
  • Janosik

    Yeah, you are right. How about 10 am ?
  • Janosik

    No worries. I am no my way to UIC. I will see you at 9:00 am.
  • Janosik

    Although, you were right. 9 am is really early.
  • Allan Mendiola

    hi. i just moved to chicago and looking for people to hit with. havent played the past few months but i would like to get started again. im pretty open in terms of time schedules. im about a 3.25 rating... baseliner
  • Allan Mendiola

    sure i would like to hit. im available those days and times so its up to you in terms of when you want to hit next week.
  • Allan Mendiola

    sure. friday should be good. let me know by wed-thurs...as to what time and location is best
  • Damir

    I do, but am out for a couple of weeks due to soccer knee injury. I'll let you know once I'm fit to play again. By then maybe the weather will get better too and we could play outdoors.
  • Janosik

    How about Saturday morning ? Hit me on my email ?
  • Janosik

    Next weekend ? This Sunday I have family over for Easter :-)
  • Danielle Eiseman

    I really wish I could, I have to finish a paper by this afternoon! Next week would be better for me.
  • Danielle Eiseman

    That is funny I am apartment hunting as well. I was hoping to head to the beach on Friday, but I can play around 3. I have to be at work by 6:30 but that should be plenty of time.
  • Danielle Eiseman

    There are some courts on Montrose and Western and they are usually not too crowded.
  • Danielle Eiseman

    ok that should work
  • Danielle Eiseman

    ok, let's shoot for 3 ish. I will be wearing an orange baseball cap.
  • Danielle Eiseman

    no worries. i waited until about 3:20 and just headed home. i only live a block and a half away from the courts so big deal, it gave me more time to hunt for apartments.
  • Danielle Eiseman

    I wish I could, I have so much going on, including the apartment search and studying for midterms. Friday still works best for me.
