I may yell a bit, but only during matches. I'm free most afternoons and live a few blocks from Dolores...would love a two- or three-times-a-week thing.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
All-time: Agassi. I keep trying to get myself off the baseline, but that's some old programming. Right now...Tsonga. My dimensions are smaller but analogous to his. Plus he looks like Cassius Clay.

    Hello Mani,

    I'd like to play sometime. Actually looking to play this afternoon--the person I was supposed to play strained a muscle or something. I have access to the courts at my school--no wait if you'd like to play there. I work at Balboa High School, which is in the Excelsior District near the Geneva/Ocean BART station. Gimme a call if you'd like to hit: 510 541 9252

    Cool. Next Friday sounds good. I can also probably play on Tuesday or Thursday. I finish work at 3:35 and could make it to Dolores by 4:30, but if you want to meet up at the Balboa High courts I could show up by 4:00-4:10. Alright then. Let me know when you want to hit.

    Mani,

    you sound like you might actually play tennis. I'm looking for someone that has a decent all-around game and can rally at a decent pace, without having to cream the ball on every shot.
    I grew up playing––did the juiniors as a kid, but I've been away from it for a while. Still, I can hit the ball, but now I am thinking about getting back into some level of tournament play. Bo

    Mani,

    Sounds good. I might have said it already, but I usually have a lot of time in the afternoons, or more like, until about 2,3 p.m. –– where abouts are you, or would you like to hit. I'm in the Richmond, close to Rossi, mountain lake, julius Kahn . . . If you are going to be around tomorrow (FRIDAY) and can hit before 2pm, let me know. my cell is 309-5682 thanks, bob

    Mani,

    I supposedly have a rally set up for tomorrow–-saturday morning (which is probably when you are reading this) but if you want to call and see if they bailed on me, call after 10 and maybe we can hit. cell 309-5682 and my regular email is:
    bobolonius@hotmail.com THANKS, bob
