All good suggestions. Are you a player? A pro? What level do you play?

Yes Jeff has been suggested by someone else and I have contacted him. He is mainly an online type coach and yes quite pricey for anything ($300/hour). And recommended someone who coaches at a private country club. It would be most helpful to me if you have been to any adult camps that are...

Hoping for some great suggestions. My goal is to improve my tennis....be a better 4.0 doubles player. I have between now and April, 2020 to participate in whatever it takes. I live in Denver, CO but am willing to travel. I'm a retired adult player. So first question -- please recommend some...

Who is OP? I'm the one who posted. I'm COCap. My specific age is not important. Wonder where you see that info. Opponent player who made the comment, "Please don't hit balls so close to me" is almost 70 I think. She used to be 4.5 a couple of years ago. My partner who quit trying is 52. Trust me...

I had no idea this would happen. I have played with both ladies (not together) before. In fact the one who made the comment was on one of my teams this year and used to be a 4.5 not too long ago. So I didn't know, nor have I ever experienced this kind of a request from any decent tennis...

Well I already sent this to my partner, this is would I would have said (however you know I've had lots of time to think this up): “Sorry, I do like to try to play aggressively and I do like to poach. I love to play the net. I am definitely trying to avoid hitting you and if I can get the ball...

OK well I did not hear the conversation, it was between my partner and one of the other opponents (the one who set this up). My partner would not want me to get aggressive and stand up to them for her. She is quite capable of that herself. She is the more competitive player. She is almost a 4.5...

This partner is also my friend and has quit before for other reasons. This time I had nothing to do with it. And believe me we do talk whenever she is willing to do so. This time she was not going to talk to me about it. She turned into a zombie on the court. So please don't make me the bad guy...

Hmmmm . ...I did read it all, just seems like you think the opponent who didn't like being hit as is my friend. It is my partner and friend who quit playing after the opponent said "Please don't hit so close to me." So my friend & partner quit playing. I was left to play doubles all by myself...

I like your ideas. They made me chuckle. However, you are not answering my questions at the end.

Reposting because I really haven't heard much in response to my questions at the end: Ladies 4.0 tennis: My partner who loves to play the net aggressively came in to poach. She hit the ball pretty hard but not at anyone and didn't hit anyone [it was a great poach shot]. The opponent said...

OK....HERE IS THE REST: Thanks to everyone for all of your input and to those who may still respond in the future. Originally I said I would tell you how my partner responded to the comment, "Please, don't hit the ball near me." as I would like to get your opinion on how she handled this...

Thanks for your response...I think this is Kevin, you know me, well not personally, but online. Anyway my response to your response was LOL, but again these are old ladies and I'm not sure they would think your response quite as funny as me.

Thanks, I would like to hear from some females as this is ladies tennis and I have a feeling there is absolutely no guy out there who would ever say what this lady said so the female perspective is most appreciated!

I was recently playing what was supposed to be a friendly fun tennis match. Maybe not even a real match. We were playing just for fun. My partner really didn't know the 2 opponents. I was somewhat acquainted with both of them. It was not tennis that counted on anyone's record for anything...

I appreciate what your saying but in this case, had I not lied, my singles player might have even just quit the match totally. She was very tired. She only had to win 2 more games to end the match. And I wanted to motivate her to do that. I totally believe had I told her the truth (0-2), she...

Perhaps that is what they thought...I have no idea. I was only trying to motivate my player and only trying to communicate with my player. I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with what I was doing. I think there are players out there who like to find things to complain about. This...

They complained. I'm really not sure why but I think it was both the communication and that it was incorrect. Yes I need to be more private. However my player was insisting on knowing where we were at. I guess the opposing player didn't want to know anything (so she could focus), but I had no...

The singles player on my team was in her 2nd set and up 4-1. She wanted to know how the rest of the team had done (2 doubles teams). I told her we were 1-1 even though we were 0-2. I wanted her to keep trying to win and did not want her to think her match was inconsequential. After the match was...
