Tuesday Oct.5th, 2011.
Hi everyone... I am new to Tennispolis and I am also looking to practice, drills, rallying and would like to get back into playing matches. Looking for regular partners that have compatible skills and strive to practice correct technique and etiquette. I am between a 3.5 - 4.0 but mostly fit the description of the 4.0 in the USTA NTRP rating. I would like to play at 7pm or later in Hermosa Community, Live Oak, Mira Costa and Torrance evenings, preferable Monday thru Thursday.

I am mostly a baseline player, with a western grip forehand and double handed backhand. I have a descent serve, but need to practice to get consistent again.

Favorite pro tennis player(s):

Nadal, Aggassi, Roddick, Djokovic, Baghdatis, Verdasco, Ferrer, Bjorn Borg & Federer.... Graf, Monica, Clijsters, Shiavone, Bartoli, Jankovic, Penneta, Stosur...... oh yeah and Ivanovic, kirilenko and Kournikova

My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):

Getting there, NTRP 4.5, If tennis is on TV - I am watching

On the court, I am a:

rightie, singles player, two-hander, top-spinner, baseliner, all courter, gracious winner, gracious loser, tournament goer

My favorite local courts:

Hermosa (Pier & PCH) & around the corner (Valley Dr.), Mira Costa, Live Oak Park, Torrance. No Club Membership
