Tennisopolis: The Community Of Tennis!
Hi tennis people! I'm so glad you finally arrived to save the day. I started Tennisopolis.com for a couple of reasons. First, I was fed up with the current state of tennis websites. There was nothing that connected people and allowed fans and players to express themselves. So I partnered with some buddies and created Tennisopolis (great name, yes, thanks) to put the focus on the members (you!) and allow members to meet, chat, and tell people about what they do and who they are.
Leave me a note. Thanks for stopping by my page.

Pat Rafter just put his 4th free video lesson online. He teaches us how to serve and volley... like a BOSS!
Earlier Pat taught you how to turn your serve into a consistent and reliable weapon by hitting a kick serve. Today you will learn how to back that serve up by coming to net for easy points.
You don't want to hit a great serve but then take your foot off the gas. Why get into a rally when you can end the point in the next few…

Do you struggle with your toss? If the answer is yes, then you’re not alone. I'd say roughly 3/4 of Tennisopolis members do.
In Pat Rafter's second free video lesson, he shares a story about his struggle to develop a consistent & reliable toss. He also tells us how he solved the problem, confused his own dad, and the rest is history - winning the US Open twice.…

Pam said… Hi Mark-the-Mayor!
I love the concept of your site, but is there a way to search my area (such as entering my zip code) and travel distance (i.e. within a 20 mile radius) to find tennis partners?
Thanks,
Pam

Mark,
Thanks for your email. I love Nishikori - would be great if he can get over the injury plague that surrounds him. But I like to consider myself a student of the game - I get into people who know about Pancho Gonzales, Laver/Rosewall/Emerson/Hoad, The Three Musketeers, Bill Tilden, Suzanne Lenglen, Mo Connolly, Budge/Perry/Vines, etc.
Best,
Yoshi

Dawn Howes said… Hi Mark the Mayor...great webpage. I just joined. I've been searching for partners in the Hoboken NJ area...seems most post were made in 2010...three years. I hope to get more people involved this year. Any suggestions?
My hardest challenge is to find someone that can play in the afternoons (as my work schedule doesn't allow me to play in the evenings when 99% of people play) UGH.
Keep up the good work.
