Tennis Fan, Casual Player

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

I started playing tennis a little over 2 years ago and have been obsessed ever since. I played a lot of ping-pong growing up and I'm pretty athletic, so tennis came to me pretty quick.
I've been watching the Pro tournaments incessantly and have even begun skimming some books on tactics and such. I thrive on competition, but I play mostly for the fun of the game and the exercise.
I've honed my skills to a fairly competitive level, but I want to get better. I'm a little above a 3.5 NTRP rating, and I know professional tennis is out of the question at this point, but hey, I can dream!

Favorite pro tennis player(s):

Roger Federer

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

NTRP 3.5, If tennis is on TV - I am watching
