Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I have tons of energy, and once loosened up, could go all day (and have in the past). Essentially, if I didn't have to work, I'd play tennis all day long! Anyway, I've played for about 3 years, and mostly self-taught after the initial introduction to the game. Lately, I've been taking lessons as I'd eventually like to compete in tournament play. I can cover the court pretty well and am starting to dig volleys a lot. My serve is pretty good, though my coach wants me to use a different grip, and I'm somewhat back to ground zero on that. I have a pretty mean backhand, enjoy aggressive play, and essentially want a good sweat during the game.
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
Not bad, Getting there, Not bad., I'm getting there., Don't know my what my rating is., If tennis is on TV - I'm watching.
On the court, I am a:
rightie, doubles partner, singles player, acer, returner, two-hander, double faulter, baseliner, all courter, gracious winner, gracious loser
My favorite local courts:
UW, Capitol Hill, and the renovated Greenlake courts
Relationship status:
Single

    I play at Green Lake and Amy Yee (when it rains), and like to have more playing partners. Let me know if you like to hit some singles. And yes, I like to hit with those who work out a good sweat!
