I hate when people say they are some high level and then ya go there expecting a big match and they're not even close to the level they said. I think they do it cause higher level players won't hit with them. I feel if nobody is willing to help lower level players how are they supposed to get better if they can't afford private lessons. I've hit with 3.0 and 3.5 women and I hit with two juniors every week. These juniors are extremely good though, one is 10 and the other is 15. I love to help pweople with their games. In the summer I work full time as well as mow lawns with my son and play almost every day if I can fit it in. We'll definitely hook up and can drill or play bash ball whatever ya wanna do. Look forward to it. Have a nice Hioliday

At 3:50pm on December 8, 2008, Jill Werts said…: Hey, Jazz, thanks...as Bill said, we came up a little short, and we spent the drive back from there discussing what we could have done differently and how to change things up. It was great to have him to drive there and back with -- makes the drive go a LOT faster. :-) He was right -- they were beatable, so it's disappointing. Well, we got our money's worth -- we were out there almost 2 hours. :-)

At 4:22pm on December 7, 2008, Bill said…: well, jill and i gave 'em a good match but came up a little short.....6-2,7-6(5). they were beatable. we really played a good 2nd set and i stepped up my net play in the 2nd set to put a little pressure on. unfortunately..... i had too many errors in the tie breaker including a double fault and lost the tie breaker :(

good new though....i'm retaining my amateur status for the time being

At 3:02am on December 7, 2008, Jonjie Baniel said…: Thanks. Its 3 am and i'm up. Not good.

At 9:00am on December 3, 2008, Mark / The Mayor said…: Cool, gettin' a little public enemy in the morning.
Glad you are down with it.
Gotta run now, but I'll break it down for you in another message.

Your page lays me to waste, I gotta get to work!

At 9:34am on November 22, 2008, Jill Werts said…: ...and keep in mind that this is kind of developmental season for us -- we're trying to figure out partnerships and get experience playing at this level together...and once we get it figured out, we're going to kick butt! :-)

At 9:33am on November 22, 2008, Jill Werts said…: I'm kind of bummed, actually. :-) I think you and generally do really well together...altho I think you'll like Karen. She's got a lot of energy and she's probably the best female player on our team! She's also a great person...

I suspect you two will do better than Kevin and me, but you never know... :-)

At 10:22am on November 11, 2008, Mark / The Mayor said…: Cool! Thanks for telling everyone. The site just gets better and better the more true tennis fans we have in here.

At 7:36am on October 30, 2008, Jill Werts said…: Hey, Jazz -- yes, I think we can thank Karen's kids for that. She had a soccer game or something like that. :-) Now, we just need to have fun AND kick butt. First chance to think about some of Nancy's comments in an actual match...

At 9:03pm on October 27, 2008, Bill said…: i'll wreak as much havoc as i can. the 7.0 group should be interesting, i'm looking forward to getting under way !

At 6:38pm on October 19, 2008, Mark / The Mayor said…: Yo Jazz, you haven't heard that one before?
It may be dead and gone, but when I was a kid, we used it a lot. That dude is a whaler. He has no control, he just whales on every shot. (just enourmous swings without much control - it's derogatory).
