    Hi Mark the Mayor...great webpage. I just joined. I've been searching for partners in the Hoboken NJ area...seems most post were made in 2010...three years. I hope to get more people involved this year. Any suggestions?  

    My hardest challenge is to find someone that can play in the afternoons (as my work schedule doesn't allow me to play in the evenings when 99% of people play) UGH. 

    Keep up the good work. 

  • David

    Hey Mark - would you like to hit some time?
  • Awake

    Thanks Mark; Ready and looking forward to hit some balls for the season, 2013. I am not sure if anyone started playing for the season and wonder how, when and where to meet the members to get to know each other and find the best mach. I am a new menber and looking forward to play some tennis mostly weekdays in the evening and weekend more likely anytime and hope somebody let me know.

    Thank you very much :-)

  • Robin M

    Hi, could you tell me how to remove my profile from this site, please.  I didn't see an option for that.  Thx.

  • Noel Haynes

    Thanks Mark for reaching out. I thought I had added one before but I guess not. Looking forward to meeting new folks and hitting on the courts.

  • Yoshi Takeda

    Mark,

    Thanks for your email.  I love Nishikori - would be great if he can get over the injury plague that surrounds him.  But I like to consider myself a student of the game - I get into people who know about Pancho Gonzales, Laver/Rosewall/Emerson/Hoad, The Three Musketeers, Bill Tilden, Suzanne Lenglen, Mo Connolly, Budge/Perry/Vines, etc.

    Best,

    Yoshi

  • Frauky

      :-) - and now waiting to be found...what location do you recommend?

  • tenedab

  • Pam

    Hi Mark-the-Mayor!  

    I love the concept of your site, but is there a way to search my area (such as entering my zip code) and travel distance (i.e. within a 20 mile radius) to find tennis partners?

    Thanks,

    Pam

    Cool site. I just joined and am a 4.5 USTA rated player as well. Is it possible for me to edit my profile?
