Mark / The Mayor's Comments

Hi Mark,
Thanks for putting this together! I will invite all my tennis buddies. I look forward to meeting some new players too.
Thanks,
-Steve

Of course I'm looking forward to the Masters tourney. But, (sigh) the Shanghai tournament is only broadcasted on Tennis Channel and FSN (Fox Sports Network), which is not in my 'package'. I guess, there's not enough sponsors and other enticements to make ESPN renew it's broadcast rights.

Read the story here.

Oh well.

Hi Mark
I see you said you're an art lover and on this page there's connections to art ie studio design and the de kooning at the bottom. What's your interest in the arts? How did you get involved in it?

Hey Mark, There are two albums that came out about that time that recieved some critical acclaim they were Mystery Road or Fly Me Courageous

Hi Mark,
Thanks for putting this all together. It will be nice to meet some tennis buddies in the Phx. area as well as abroad. Also, nice pics of Safin. I'm cleaning off the drool on my chin as I type this.

No, No, I didnt say you said I was wrong. I meant to say that I might be wrong or 'judging' too early. I need to watch all to determine if I were wrong or right.

Mark, like I said, I might have to watch more before commenting. As a matter of fact I do think the girls are now playing with more advanced techniques, but not as 'strong' as Steffi's and the gang that era (I mean how they played with such stamina and just went for the balls!) I stopped playing tennis completely for 7 years and I just got back, I used to play 4.0 now I am barely make 3.5 so but I am confident to gain back as I am playing better and better each week. The Tennis Channel is so awesome, when I watch it, it's like digging back the memory of techniques, skills, what I should do what I shouldn't while playing tennis and yes I will be back to where I left and climb up more! I will watch some more and let you know I were wrong on my remark, anyhow... I myself am pretty sure things get better not the other way around in time.

haha lame, thanks lol

A whailer is somebody who pounds the ball. For the lady who wants to play better, play matches just as much as lessons, and you should do both, but if you get a teacher who does not teach about the inner game and feel, then give him a cardboard box to write on to ask for change on the local corner, that is, if he really wants to waist peoples time. "Cool house Mark"

Mark, I want to be able to remove comments on the group page even if they are not from me..seems I have that option on the boerne group page but not the aces...is it because I am the administrator and not the creator..thought those both had the same POWER...lol

Hey Mark how is it going? Well I have been playing tennis for a yr and a half now. I joined a team with the USTA last month I have played two matches and I lost both 1-6, 3-6 and this past Friday 1-6, 0-6. I am very discouraged and I feel like maybe I should play competitive tennis. Any advice?
Thanks for the comment today!

Hey Mark, Thanks for the welcome. After 20 years, I've dusted off my racquets and I'm back out on the courts and it feels great!

I have a question about the profile questions. What the heck is a Whaler?

Yea..its a newer pic from a few weeks ago..seems lately I am always the one with the camera at the hit arounds so dont get to many chances for photo ops...lol

Hi there Mark,
Thanks for your idea. I'm still very new in the tennis blogosphere to start a group. But it doesn't mean I can't think about it, right? Thanks again and have a good day!

Hi Mark,
Just now getting around to thanking you for this opportunity to be part of your brain child, Tennisopolis. A job well done! It's about time, as you said, that someone got everyone that loves this great game together in one place. You have done an excellent job with this website......I really have to congratulate you.
I lived up in the north of Alberta for some time but have now moved back to Calgary so we are slowly starting to put together a movement here and up north in Grande Prairie to spread the word and round up all those who are interested.
Keep up the great work and talk at you again soon.
All the best,
Sandyman

hey Mark
Thanks for making this wonderful tennis community on here, for everyone to connect to one another. I was wondering though if you could add a feature where you can update your stats, and last match stats, etc.. whenever you get the chance?
Comment back Tommy Cruz, thanks

Dear Mark
I have some personal problems and for this reason I lose contwact with you.
Those problems send my down but I will try to contact you in a short time.
Regards
Jorge

Hi Mark, how are you doing? Hope all is well. Just been busy with tennis, golf and work. I'm working on a project that can maybe buy me an island and put some playmates on it:) Let's hope it happens, God willing and HE is always willing:) Take care.
