    Hi Crystal,

    If you want to practice let me know as I am looking to find more people. Washington Park is a lovely place to play and I can play anywhere. I have a lot of equipment if you need to borrow any. Also the Portland Tennis Center has great prices on small group lessons.

    I'm moving to Portland in the summer, looking for tennis players. I have a relatively good serve (is that a true statement?). I'm learning myself, but I could give you a few tips on your serve. We could always say screw it and hit some balls. What do you say?

    Haha... that was an awfully long time ago. Well, time has passed, and I am living in Portland. I sent you a friend request back then, I guess, because it is not letting me make a friend request now. Add me and maybe we can rally one of these sunny days. I know some people, and I can probably help you get matched up.

    Hi Crystal,

    I'm glad to hear from you and know that you are serious about learning more tennis because it make the sport more enjoyable. Let someone else chase tennis balls, right? I read your profile and it is good to rally and of course work on the serve too if you like. The serve is the most difficult stroke.

    I have been playing indoors as I usually do every winter in the doubles mixers at the Portland Tennis Center. I am spoiled as I haven't played outdoors this spring yet. I live closer to downtown between SE Hawthorne and Bemont. Is that near you or which courts do you go to?

    Well I am very patient and have many years of experience and would like to meet you to hit sometime with no obligations on your part.

    I can play late afternoon 4 PM or weekends. My work number is (503) 220-8429.
