Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I used to play weekly at high school and university but then had to stop after shoulder surgery 3 years ago. Started playing seriously again when I was in the States last year - now back in London and generally play most evenings after work. I'm around a 4.0 game (depending on my mood!) and I love the sport. I'm a lefty who plays with a fluid top-spin and enjoy playing at the net, so I'm quite a useful doubles player. I also string the odd racquet if you need help with that.

I'm a club player who's keen to hit with other competitive players - looking to improve my matchplay, but happy to just rally and work on different strokes. I'm based in Ealing, West London and the club I play at is a 20 minute drive from here, happy to give lifts there if necessary.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Current mens: Federer, Murray, Djokovic, Tsonga, Nishikori (rising star!)
(although I confess to using Nadal's old Aeropro Drive... must be a lefty thing haha)

Ladies: Hantuchova, Ivanovic, Sharapova

Previous generation: Sampras, Agassi, Chang, McEnroe, Henin
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
NTRP 4.5
On the court, I am a:
doubles partner, singles player, top-spinner
My favorite local courts:
David Lloyd Heston (not so much favourite, but where I play most days since they have indoor courts!)
Relationship status:
Single
