I am an easy-going 3.5 to 4.0 player looking for other players to hit with for some fun and exercise. I live on campus of UBC and prefer to play singles. Currently I have a flexible schedule until mid-June.

Your weak return of serve is costing you matches.…

For some people, tennis can be an intimidating sport, especially if you are just starting out.  I joined Tennisopolis back in 2010, just to play some tennis and socialize.  Well, I ran into some players who didn’t know the game.  It was frustrating for me (a 5.0 player) to hit with them (3.0 players).  We always ended up not playing a match or not even rallying.  I always ended up teaching them how to play the game.  That’s okay.  I don’t have a problem teaching…
