Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
I'm a 3.5 - maybe 4.0 on a good day. I taught kids to play one summer for a town kiddie program. I've had 12 injuries now that affect mobility and my game so I generally stick to doubles. I've had 3 knee surgeries and 2 back surgeries. I've broken my hitting side shoulder twice and the elbow once. I'm coming up way too fast on 50 years old.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Hingis - though I don't know if her greatness was due to her cocaine use, Martina Navratilova. I love Sloane Stephens not only for her tennis - but because her Sports Illustrated swimsuit photos are so unexpectedly sexy/incredible.
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
