Matt, play a 5.0 player.
It is really sad to see you slowly drop in level. Just because you want to focus on school doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your tennis.
I know dozens of good juniors who drop off like you are now and its such a shame.
You could win opens/play some futures one day, if you want to? Do you want to?
Not sure if the bolded is possible but I do want to maintain a high level.
I'm in LA. Why don't we organize a round robin? I'd love to play against anyone!

Actually the way you guys put it "Monterey Park @ Elder Park" I have no idea where that is and I couldn't even look up google map
I'm in the area, I can play, but I'm only like 3.5. Can I come?
What time are you guys looking to play?
Cool! So Cal TeeDub members, Maximagq and i are planning to meet up this Sat 8/30 or Sun 8/31 morning in Monterey Park @ Elder Park. Anyone else interested in joining us?
George Elder Park is the second most famous rec park on Talk Tennis after San Pablo Park.
wtf... i live 5 min walking distance from that park. I went to Macy intermediate.
Wait did you also go to Schurr? I went there and I've been playing at Macy since around 2004 or 2005.
no i went to gabrielino but i know the ppl who r my year who went to schurr (who went to macy). LOL small world. I've been playing at elder park for the last year. Recently I've been going to garvey park more (better light).
What graduating class were you? You said you are in grad school at UCLA? So are you Class of 2008 or 2009? I was Class of 2013 at Schurr.
also my name isn't really reggie hurley.
So you knew Benson Kim, Eric Yeung, and Blake Wright? I came after your generation and sort of took over Benson's mantle in Almont League haha.
lol eric is my best friend. i've been playing mostly with him. Benson is a good friend too, i played with him a couple times (but he lives far now and he's way better than me). Blake was my friend in macy but I don't see him anymore. hahahahahaha. I also know curtis/danny/jimmy/ricky but they don't play much anymore. About 4 yrs ago bryan yu and eric used to play a lot at elder and from what I heard he was pretty good, but I didn't play tennis back then.

also played with andrew L. a bit last year. The korean eric a few times too.
When you poast a person's first and last name on the Intertubes you give those folks an un-erasable Google trail for life. Be careful young man. Some folks don't like that kinda thang.
Please poast video of the non-sanctioned event. Must see LeeD updated serve.
You've probably seen me around. I literally know all those guys. Do you know the Long brothers as well?
lolol probably. My name is Rong Huang in case you know it. Don't think people ever talk about me though. i know there is a guy named aaron and apparently he's pretty good. He's best friends with eric's brother leo lolol. Leo hates me and refuses to play with me though lol.
All levels are welcome, I am thinking 10 am is the best time. The locals are pretty good.
10am is good...so shall we say sat then?
Aaron was two years older than me and was my high school teammate. He also goes to UCLA now and is on the club team as well. I know Leo too haha, why does he hate you LOL
How is it that you're too busy to play a 5.0 tournament but you will spend a weekend playing scrubs from this board? You also seem to have endless amounts of time to post on this site. You say you want to get better as a player but your actions indicate otherwise.

Matt, have you suffered some sort of a long term injury that you've scaled back your tennis so much?
