Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):

I live out east in Cleveland Heights near Case Western. I try to incorporate some of everything into my game: one- and two-handed backhands, different grips, I am even working on my left-hand game (2-2.5), but this can cause me to be inconsistent. Tennis for me has always been more about having fun than getting better, though getting better is half the fun.

**Edit: I recently had surgery on my right shoulder, so for the remainder of 2011 I shall be playing exclusively left-handed.

Favorite pro tennis player(s):

Bartoli recently impressed me at the Paribas Open, but in general I enjoy watching pretty much everyone.

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

NTRP 3.0, NTRP 3.5

On the court, I am a:

rightie, singles player, gracious winner, gracious loser

My favorite local courts:

Carlton Courts near Case Western; the courts over by MLK and E 105th are also close by (though I have yet to play there)
