Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I am 34 years old and live in Gwinnett County. I gave up tennis when I was in 7th grade because I couldn't beat my older brother. After college I started playing again.

I currently play at the 4.5 level. I am a tall righty with a big serve. When I play singles I prefer to drill for about 30 minutes, then maybe play a set. I'm more interested in getting a workout and improving my game, rather than playing competitively. Doubles is a different story. I love to play competitive doubles, and play at the 5.0-5.5 level.

Pete Sampras
Pat Rafter

    Chris..i am a solid 4.0 to 4.5 with very strong groundies. Love to drill more than play competitive tennis which is why my server is probably the weaker short in my arsenal. Let me know if you are interested.
