Jon has not received any gifts yet

Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):: I am not that good and not that bad. I don't take it too seriously, but also enjoy playing to win. I adapt to the circumstance, so I'm good with just hititng and getting a workout and also playing a couple of sets.

Favorite pro tennis player(s):: Let me get old school - Yannick Noah, cause he dove all over the place and had good hair. John McEnroe, because he lived in the town next to mine in Queens. Jimmy Connors cause he was getting old and therefore the underdog.

My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):: NTRP 2.5, NTRP 3.0

On the court, I am a:: doubles partner, singles player, acer, two-hander, one-hander, double faulter, all courter, gracious winner, gracious loser

My favorite local courts:: I've played at Athol by Lake Merritt and at that park off Macarthur and Broadway

I would be interested in playing. I just moved to Emeryville from South Bay so I am looking to pick up tennis again. I can drive to Oakland during the weekends.

Let me know,
Rajiv.
