Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I played in high school and have been playing recreationally since. I'm a mid-level player. I have a strong serve when it goes in (otherwise I'm prone to double faults). I have a decent forehand but a weaker backhand I'm working on. My net play is OK and I could improve my approach. I've played with other people who used to play on the high school tennis team and that tends to be a match.

I've never been rated but I'm probably a NTRP 3.5 give or take.

I life in SF but work in Mountain View so I'm willing to play anywhere in between. I like playing at Stanford.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Federer
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
Not bad., NTRP 3.0, NTRP 3.5, NTRP 4.0, Don't know what my rating is.
On the court, I am a:
doubles partner, singles player, acer, returner, two-hander, double faulter, baseliner
My favorite local courts:
Stanford or Rengstorff

    I can't do it tomorrow unless it's early morning, but would definitely love to play regularly. maybe we can play sometimes if you know certain area which is in the middle of the place.

    It's not. Not enough people showed up regularly, made it impossible to match people well.
