    hi eric, thanks for the add! we should play tennis sometimes! have a great day!
  • Catherine

    Hello =D

    How long have you played tennis?
  • Shelly

    If you're a 4.5, then you won't like hitting with me that much. I'm a 3.5. I just started playing singles again this summer, so my singles game isn't that great these days. I play mostly doubles and mixed doubles. We can try playing. I'd also like to find a club to maybe take a few drills while I'm in town. I play on 3 competitive teams where I live, so I'd like to make sure that I keep my game up while I'm in Dallas.
    I'll be there for work. I have the best job in the world. I love it. I arrive on Sept. 25 until Oct. 19. I'm planning on working, playing tennis and doing some yoga while I'm in town. I can't say too much on this public forum about my job. We can talk when I get to town.

  • Robert Chao

    Hi Eric - Would you like to hit this weekend?
  • Robert Chao

    Yes. I was rated a 6.0 at one point a few years ago. Played on Div 1 College team but that was many moons ago. More like a 5.0 player today with flashes of my old 6.0 days.
  • Robert Chao

    We can play next weekend.
  • Kyle Korman

    Eric,

I can be reached at 315-408-6024. If I cannot answer please leave a vmail and I will return your call. Thanks.

    Hey Eric,
    I've played club tennis since I was 8 and varsity in HS. Played tournaments as a jr. and was a superchamp in USTA (I don't know if you're familiar with the term). Anyways, I recently am coming off a broken leg injury and would love to get back in the game. I don't know exactly what my level is as far as numbers go, but I know that I'm a pretty decent player and can keep a rally going very well. My only problem may be my ability to cover the court as you can imagine. From my best knowledge, I would say I'm about around the 4.5 range and you seem to be right around there so if you're interested please let me know thanks. I'll be sending this to Kyle too since I see he's in that ability level as well. Take care

  • Robin

    Hey that sounds good. I would love to hit sometime next week if you are available. Let me know what your schedule is like and we could work something out.
  • Christian M-C

    Hey Eric, I hate to bother you but I saw your post about wanting to get involved with teaching lessons to students who otherwise wouldn't have the access to and I was wondering if you could give me a lesson? I'd be willing to pay too especially since it'd be taking some of your time but I could go into this more in-depth through email (cayemc@gmail.com). Either way -- have a good day and enjoy yourself! :)
  • David Martin del Campo

    I'm from El Paso, a bit far from you, but play tourneys in Dallas, Austin, etc. Staying in Midtown East Manhattan [228 E. 58th, btw 2nd and 3rd] Lets see if we can get some play in. Feel free to call me @ 915.875.5005. Mornings are better, but I'm flexible.

    Best Wishes

    Hey Eric - I'm actually at the chicago campus so now that the weather is looking better I'm looking for people to hit at lake shore park or in the city - if you're ever around and want to hit let me know!

  • Andrew Ginsberg

    I live in Rogers Park - four blocks from Evanston. I played D3 tennis from 96-99 and was probably a 4.5-5.0 then. I'm probably down to a 4.0 but can hit with 4.5s. I need to play nights, weekends or early AM.
  • Am

    i'm a 3.5, might be too boring for you.  you're a 4.5 plus, i won't be able to keep up. 
  • Celeste M.

    Hey Eric,

     

    I usually play down on the lake shore park courts - if you're in Chicago for the summer let me know and we can figure out a time to hit!

  • Celeste M.

    Hey Eric -

    Sure! I'm down for hitting tomorrow afternoon in Evanston - when were you thinking?

  • TimSmith

    Hey man, any interest in playing some tennis?  I'm in the range of a solid 4.0.

  • Mitch Ritter

    Eric,

    Great to hear from you.  Thanks for reaching out.  I play 2 hours a day, 5 days a week and am very interested in hitting with other pretty good players.  I play in Harlem (152nd and 7th - Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.).  There are 8 all weather courts and they are never busy.  It's easy to get up there via subway or Madison Avenue Limited bus.  Give me a call and let's set something up.  Mitch   917 721 7021

  • Mitch Ritter

    Eric - I gave you my cell number if you're interested in calling.  Great to be friends, but more interested in hitting....Mitch

  • Veng V

    Eric,

    Sure, I'd love to hit. Please email me at vengvol@verizon.net

  • sam

    Hi Eric, thanks for asking.  I can play probably once a week during weekdays...  It is hard for me to go Harlem because I currently live in Jersey City.  It is easy for me to go LES, or central park....

    Thanks,

    Sam

     

     

  • sam

    Hey Eric, I think you need a permit to play at LES.  It is not that busy during weekdays like before 5 pm.  When it is busy like during weekend, we just need to be there one hour or 40 min before to reserve the court.  It's located in east river park near Williamsburg bridge.

    What is your schedule like?

  • Barclay Richey

    Hey Eric, I'll play in East River Park with you. I'm a permit holder. 

  • JORDAN SUDBERG

    hey Eric, sounds good. Lets hit, text me at 646-239-8418 so we could arrange some games. I have my car in the city now which is also very convenient to playing anywhere.

    looking forward- 

    Jordan
