Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
Started playing late - 21 y/o. Best tennis shape was around 27-28 when I was playing several times a week and actively participated in tourneys. Now, I am 37 and had a break from active playing for about 6-7 years (about may be 3-4 times a year) - getting back in shape, this year I play about 2-3 times a month and would like to get in touch with more active player to ramp up...
I have not had a chance to compare myself to a rated player recently but according to description (http://ww3.telerama.com/~johnv/tennis/tennis17.htm) I should be around 4.x+ (looking forward to meet you guys and see what I really worth ;-))
If you would like to contact me - write an email to tennis.4.sergei@gmail.com - I check it several times a week.
(Don't worry about my shape - I am ok now - run 5mi several times a week, cycle to DC couple of times a month)
Favorite pro tennis player(s):
Sampras, Agassi (however I am a big supporter of my country men - Safin, for example ;-))
My tennis skill (please check your NTRP if you know it):
Not bad., NTRP 4.0, What's NTRP?, Don't know my what my rating is.
On the court, I am a:
slicer, doubles partner, singles player, returner, one-hander, baseliner, all courter
My favorite local courts:
I like Georgetown University courts to play with friends - too far for casual playing for me though with my busy schedule.
Usually: Corner of Old Keen Mill Rd and Burke Centre Pkwy, Burke and pretty much any local courts in Burke, VA
Hi Patty - I have a commitment on Wed @ 8pm - let me get back to you tomorrow - I should have a decision by 3pm. I know and like that place - it is closest to my house.

Hey guy - I think it may be drying out....wanna play Wed evening around 7PM? We can play at the Landings courts in Burke Center if that is ok with you. There are lights there. Off Burke Centre Parkway - 1 block past Roberts Road. There is a light at the turn for the community center. A pool and a path to the courts. Lemme know! Patty

I feel like 100 years old sometimes - as far as spirit is up age is not a ruler :-). Let's wait till Sunday to see how weather turns out and then decide about the day time - the best days for me are Tue/Wed/Fri PM + weekends. My email is tennis.4.sergei@gmail.com
Hey Sergei - we should definitely try to play. I am tied up thru Monday, but later in the week may work...or whatever. I have access to all the courts in Burke Centre, so there is no problem there. I am an average player....especially for an old lady!
