G.O.A.T.
I have seen the NTRP ratings and I know I am at or above a 4.0. While I would like to think I am a 4.5 or on the verge of being a 4.5, I don't know if I should try to join leagues as a 4.0 or 4.5. I don't really play against tough opponents much, so I am uncertain if I am really a 4.5 or not. In the past 6 months, I went from an eastern to a semi-western forehand, adjusted grip on my 2h backhand to get more spin (I've noticed the change), I added in a slice serve while improving accuracy and speed of my topspin and flat serves, can actually hit a 1hbh in to change things up and have been working on adding in a slice bh (the fh slice works pretty well even from baseline).
I like my odds of doing okay in 4.0, but I am not sure how I'd fare against 4.5's. Should I play in leagues and tourneys as a 4.0 to get my feet wet or jump to 4.5 and just roll the dice?
