    Dean - I'm relatively new to the area too (just moved here from S. Carolina) and haven't had any luck finding people to play tennis with. I'm in Victoria, so we're not too far away from one another. Let me know if you're interested. My job schedule is extremely flexible, so most times work for me ... weekend or weekday.

    Hey there - it seems like we might be at somewhat of a similar tennis level, so i thought I'd give this website a try. I'm around this weekend if you're feeling inspired by the US Open and want to get out and hit for awhile. I live near downtown minneapolis but can travel pretty much anywhere in the metro area.

    Hey Dean, we need players for a 4.5 USTA league that starts the end of April. Please let me know if you want to play. We have 5 players and need 5 more. It's a men;s league and 4.0 and 4.5 players are welcome. The matches are played on Monday nights and the league lasts a couple months.
