Talk Tennis - View Single Post - Maybe we need to come to an understanding about ratings

I agree with Cindy on this one - if you are not in the computer then you are NOT a rated player, period. IMO the good thing about this is that it includes the mental part of playing and actual - and important - match. For instance, I can play and even beat some 4.5 guys while playing for fun but on a real match I choke down to a very decent 4.0 and so that is the rating I should get, period. Saying that you are a 4.5 because you hang out with 4.5 is deceiving yourself.
