I’m set to get my USTA rating this weekend and I’m wondering if any other Dopers are tennis players? What’s your rating? I’m expecting a 3.0, maybe a 3.5 if my heads right. Any 4.0 or above Dopers? I’ve also discovered the joy of playing on clay - much, much easier on my knees. My neighbor (who owns the clay court) goes to the French Open every year, maybe I can convince him to take me next Spring. ---

Darn, see what happens when I don’t check the board for a while? I’m a tennis player, and I’m told I’m about a 3.5. I worked at a country club last summer and got to play on the clay there occasionally. Interesting how much easier it is, but I really enjoy chasing shots down and clay made that less of a challenge. 😉
