Del Potro eyes chance

It remains to be seen whether the reigning US Open champion, Juan Martin del Potro, will be fit enough to defend his title later this month. The Argentinean hasn’t played since the Australian Open at the beginning of the year.

He reached the fourth round in Australia but was struggling with a wrist injury during the tournament. The injury didn’t clear up and del Potro was forced to have an operation. The injury forced del Potro to miss the French Open and Wimbledon as he recovered… Continue

Well, first thing I probably wouldn't be doing is typing this blog entry: I'd be doing laps in my swimming pool filled with my millions!

Seriously, though, if I was him, you know what I would've done over the past couple of weeks? (And this may sound crazy) Played either in L.A. last week or Washington this one.

I know: Crazy, right? But not really if you look at it.

First, I know there have been some bouts with injuries this year, but his schedule's been pretty… Continue

Any beginner tennis players in Salem, OR?

Hello,

I just moved in Salem a couple of months ago, and I need to find a tennis partner. I'm just a beginer, so you don't hope that I can keep the ball in forever.

Feel free to send me a message if you are interested.

Anyone for Tennis in Lincoln Square at Welles Park (Montrose/Lincoln)?

Hello,

I am looking for people who are looking to play tennis and hopefully in the process improve their game/use the time to get a good work out in. I am intermediate and probably a 3.0. I play a couple times a week but would like to play as often as possible. I hate gyms so this is my time to really take advantage of the great weather and have some fun as well.

Looking for fun, worldly people who don't obsess with checking facebook and iphones…
