Gwen has not received any gifts yet

Neighborhood or other helpful location info:: Park Ridge, IL (work in Niles) Willing to travel for tennis.

Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):: I moved to Chicagoland from LA area where I was a club member and played league tennis (USTA 4.0) and WTT. I haven't played once since I moved here and my sorry shape proves it! (I have some work to do...)

I'm a 49Y/O woman who is a competent doubles partner, not afraid of the net, but I also love singles.

I understand the game and I'm used to playing in the wind (LA's Santa Anas can mimic Chitown gusts!) so give me a call if you want to go out and rally for a while or if you're looking for a fourth.

I'm available evening and weekends.

Favorite pro tennis player(s):: Steffi Graf, Martina Navratalova, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg

I live in Park Ridge, too, and am both a singles and doubles player at 3.5. Appreciate playing with different partners. I also play with a mixed doubles group, and we are always in needs of players. I memberships at Tam in Niles and River Trails in Arlington Heights. If interested in playing at a mutually convenient time and court, please let me know. My mobile is 312-968-9199 or leave a comment on my page (Mike Maggio). Especially looking for partners to play with in the summer, since indoor league season is over.
