  • Jim Cummings

    Mark - Jim Cummings here. Just joined your site which I did not know existed until last week when a friend from northern Wisconsin referred me to it. I had contacted Lloyd for advice on using social media to promulgate the underdstanding of the rules of tennis, an item on the agenda of the USTA Rules Committee meetings held in NY this past weekend. I'm a member of the committee. This is an unofficial contact to see if you might be interested. I haven't had an opportunity to really explore your site, but my thinking  is it might be a good outlet. Do you think your members would have an interest in learning the answer to handling problems that occur in their everyday, non-officiated play? I can send you a column or two I have written for Mid-Atlantic Match Point, something I have been doing for over 15 years, so you could see what I am talking about. 

  • Matthew Sciannella

    Mark, thanks for the message. I'll definitely be uploading and updating info. to have a more robust profile. I joined rather hastily yesterday and have yet to have the opportunity to do so.

     

    Thanks. Site looks awesome.

  • Jenny Skoble

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the welcome. I just learned about Tennisopolis, and hope it'll be a good way to meet more people to hit with. I'm advanced beginner/low intermediate, so it's not easy to find compatible people who are serious but also want it to be fun.

    Hi Mark,

    I found your site from Craigslist, trying to look for a tennis partner.  Thank you very much for creating this site.  It's really a great site.  Already, I've met some very cool people, and found playing friendly and helpful partners.

    Thanks Again!

  • Andrew Richards

    Hi Mark,

    I moved to the South Coast area of Massachusetts and created a group for it.  How do I get this group to show up under 'Massachusetts'?  Hopefully with time I can get others to join it!

  • Enrique Alvarez

    Yeah! It was the match where Federer beat Nadal in the semis. It was really awesome to watch such great champions go at it. I'm a huge Federer fan so it was special for me to be in the stands watching both of them in person. It was my first time watching either of them in person.

  • Tim Prapong

    Hey, definitely game has changed even more. Well, thanks for the pizza, now I gotta go out and buy one. Made me hungry! lol

    Does your group have regularly scheduled meetups, or is it more casual?

    Hi Mark, I can't wait till spring to use your service.
