Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
Beginning Tennis Player - started playing last year. Never been taught. Just picked up the racquet after watching an instructional video and playing years of table tennis. My tennis partner moved out of the country. Need someone new to play with on a regular basis. I also recently had a baby and must bring her to the court with us, which results in lots of interruptions in play.
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
James Blake, Venus & Serena, Raphael Nadal. Pete Sampras, Donald Young, Michael Chang, Anna Kornikova, Maria Sharapova
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
I live over on sutphin and 109th, so not too far from your court. Usually, I hit against the wall in St. Albans park. Let me know if you want to hit sometime. Just getting back into it and would like to find someone to hit with regularly.
I can play today. What time? I can only play at Baisley Pond park tho. If we play during the day, I'll have to bring the little one with me (lots of crying, interruptions, etc.). If u can wait till 5:30, I can leave her with the misses.

Hi Frank,
Hard to say to be honest, I free lance so cant really predict when I am working. But right now I am free this week.
Hey Frank,
I live over on sutphin and 109th, so not too far from your court. Usually, I hit against the wall in St. Albans park. Let me know if you want to hit sometime. Just getting back into it and would like to find someone to hit with regularly.
