that is a good idea.

i did voice my opinion with the tennis association, but i didnt use this thread.

telling that guy's life story at a USTA convention might convince some people. sounds really extreme.

I get your point. the rating should ensure that players of similar level play each other. playing too high is neither for you nor for your opponent funny.

I think rating by an expert and later a system where you can drop and raise could help against that problem.

You could say that a player that looses more than x% must go down half a level next season and player who win more than y% must raise a level. that would make the fields more even, although it also would need a lot of effort.

Sorry, I didn't answer till now.
Maybe the reason we are always in disagreement....
I finaled my first C or 3.5. Won a big draw C the following. NEVER played a B tourney ever. Following year, they gave me a top 20 B ranking. Why, I don't know, I played 4 A/Opens that year and went 3 rounds once, 2 rounds once, and got bagelled twice first round.
Following year, much better A/Open results, but didn't check rankings for the year after.
Maybe I am the guy you are talking about in your first post...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[tennis_balla]

I'm not from KW. You trying to find stuff about me? Great, I'm sure it will be very exciting.
Like I said, its a public forum and I commented in your thread like you commented in mine. I never told you to leave or became hostile towards you so not sure what the problem is here. This was a funny post however:

"@tennis balla. u are a teaching pro. get a real job"

I guess all the guys that post here that make their living teaching tennis aren't really working are they....or no wait is it just me again?

[tennis_balla]

Cool I know my level as well, imagine that! Amazing stuff.

[tennis_balla]

Naa I'm done here dude. You're changing old posts as you see fit and deleting what you wrote days ago. Nothing to gain from your little game, have fun
