I'm looking for someone to hit with and improve my game. I'm currently taking weekly lessons so the more tennis the better. If your interested let me know.

About three blocks from the Nostrand A/C.

Not a proper game, except maybe when I was 11 -- and that was a LONG time ago. :) My weekends are pretty free so I'm open as far as courts in Brooklyn are concerned. Just let me know if you want to deal with an absolute beginner. I'm a pretty quick study, though.

I may be too much of a novice for you. Absolute beginner. I live in Bed-Stuy and I'm open to being made to look incompetent. I have a $15 racket and some cheap balls, but I'm willing!
