    Hey man, thanks for dropping a note. To play sooner than later, contact my friend Justin... he wrote below this comment. He's a great guy, and he and I are both competitive players. He's got talent! I've got to get my racquets restrung, so I'm out of comission until then. Maybe we can play soon though! -AK

    Hi Joe-

    Today I played with leslie at the same park the two of you played on saturday. Like yourself I live in the st pete area, leslie mentioned that you are able to hit well, I was wondering if you would be up to playing sometime during the week. I am typically a 3.5 player who has let her game go a little now someplace between a 3.0 and 3.5. Let me know if you are interested.

    Hey man, sorry I got your message way after you wrote it. I've got my racquets back and I'm open to play here and there. Stay in touch, we'll figure something out. My schedule has certain limited openings, but I'm truly a tennis addict and I'm going through withdrawal. :)

    Good Morning Joe-

    It was great hitting with you last night I think we moved past the cold very well. i sent of about 5 emails to girls in the area asking if they are still playing tennis & if they would like to play. Let's see what materialize, I also am searching other sites to see whom else might be looking. Thank you for coming out last night.

    Joe! Hey man you want to play today? I'm looking to hit with someone around 5pm today... you interested? Fossil is a good park for me. Holla back, let me know Joe. ~Aaron

    We could just hit around and practice some shots if you want... I really just want some conditioning and maybe some workout games, but I'm open to match play too... whatever you want man, if your knee hurts I'm sure we can work it out for your benefit too. I just added you as a friend on here. Send me your cell # as a message so I can call you up. 4:30 or 5pm works great for me. ~Aaron
