    Hey Michael,

    I would love to play...I belong to Stoneridge in North County and just played at Morley Field on Monday. I could play at the Barnes Center. I have not idea of ratings, but I did win the SD District Championship over Labor Day Men's 5.5 and am playing in the Metropolitan Tournament starting this weekend at Morley as well...give me a call at 646-229-4420 to set something up

    That sounds fine. I'm not a member at Barnes, though, is that a problem? If so, I'm a member at La Jolla Tennis Club if you could play there. This week Wednesday is the best, with Thursday also a possibility.

    Hey Michael,

    I'd love to hit sometime, but am not familiar with Barnes tennis center. I usually play at the UCSD north courts, or in PB. To be fair, I haven't played much this quarter and though I can guarantee athletic hustle and competition, I may not be up to your D-1 standards.

    Let me know if you wanna hit sometime.
