At 5:46am on October 30, 2009, Don said…: Ahhhhh, you played against Lily and her hubby huh, you picked a rough couple didn't you? Lily plays on the court next to me on Wed nights with some ladies, she's a good player, strong serve, good volleys. Baseline shots are good also, very unusual style, she gets to the ball but lets it drop lower like racquetball then strikes the ball. She'd love me with all my topspin (ha ha). I played against her and her husband once for fun, nice guy but I pissed him off when I used drop shots on him, he got there on the second bounce and then hit them so hard into the ceiling her ripped the material. Oh well, part of the game son (ha ha). He hits pretty good though. I played on Lily's team for a while, I think it was a 7.0 mixed, thought it would be fun "IT WASN'T" that is why I don't play team tennis. I play cause I love the sport, not just to win at any cost. Mixed doubles hitting the ball 9 out of 10 times at the woman or trying to take their heads off with shots instead of playing it like there were 4 men on the court, I really hated it. One match the guy was head hunting my partner, then the typical raise of the racquet and saying sorry, once is sorry, 3 / 4 times is not. I was border line going over the net and kicking the guys ass, I could care less about getting kicked out of a USTA league, didn't want to get kicked out of my club though, so I quit.

At 5:37am on October 30, 2009, Don said…: Ya, if you give me more notice next time I'm sure we can work something out.

At 5:12am on October 26, 2009, Don said…: Hey Jazz,
So how'd you do against my club? Do you remember the names of the players you played against, more then likely I know who they are? What level did you play at, 3.5 or 4.0?

At 5:23am on October 23, 2009, Don said…: Ok Jazz, we'll hook up sooner or later, and how long have we been saying that now? (ha ha)

At 11:31pm on October 22, 2009, Rachel said…: yep yep it is, and thank you! xD

At 1:16pm on October 21, 2009, Don said…: Oh ya, I forgot to ask you, do you know anyone looking for an expensive ball machine? It's not one of those $500 cheap models, I paid over $1.700 for it. I might have used it 6 times since I bought it a few years back. I had so many people wanting to play me I just never had or have time to use it, it just sits in my bedroom (wifey loves that) ha ha

At 1:12pm on October 21, 2009, Don said…: Well that would work with me, but did you know it's supposed to be a high of 44 outside. At our club there is no court time available until after 1 due to kids group crap.

At 4:59am on October 20, 2009, Don said…: Hey Jazz,
Unfortunately I can't play after 2 that day, have company coming over at 3.

At 5:16pm on October 8, 2009, Gabe said…: Tennis match @ Roosevelt courts off State and Roosevelt @9 am Saturday, Oct 10 --powered by Tennisopolis. Does that work? If you display your email, I will send you contact info for day-of coordination.

At 6:13am on October 8, 2009, Gabe said…: Hey Jazz. I can play on Sunday or Monday of this week. Also, possibly Saturday. 10 AM is the best time for me. (3.5) What about you?

At 7:48am on September 8, 2009, Diana said…: Jazz - thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I work all day and as of late have not had any time to play. I will get back to you once my schedule starts to free up a little.

At 9:27am on September 6, 2009, Don said…: Alright, Alright, I got ya Jazz, youre affraid to play me aren't ya? Well the lesson was gonna be free today so your loss (ha ha). Seriously now, that sucks, we just can't seem to hook up. How's your game goin? Mine is going good, as you read in my last email, I've been playing a ton so thats to be expected. Well we'll hook up sooner or later, not to much time left in the good weather though so plan another trip to your parents house soon. Oh ya, and when ya do, give me more notice if you can so we can definitely hit.
Thanks
Don
