Which one is the annoying guy?

These three items dont have to be exclusive of each other.

5.0

Better yet, walks right to the baseline clearly not even considering mini tennis because he’s not a 3.5 woman

Played a guy that was #1 at uva in the past but in his 50s, a teaching pro, and 5.0 league player at the time we played. Noticed in the first game he didn’t call the score. Nor did he the rest of the match. (Of course it wasn’t necessary with so many love games)

I was easily able to find plenty of guys at the 4.5 level to play singles with when I moved to Cola. It helped that plenty of grads hung around so late 20’s were willing to play singles.

I like the volkl but the background is even better.

It’s the right move. He recognized an organization that calls me a 5.0 when im clearly a 4.5 just has no earthly idea what its doing.

In my experience ive not found those one the usta payroll to be that helpful, but from above that seems to be different across various sections and maybe districts or localities. In the past i moved to a new area and used tennis as a means to meet people. I had never done usta leagues and I...

Some folks just walk between the raindrops ;)

One appealed down and the other hasn’t appealed yet that i know of.

I’m the same as you but swapped. 19 rating, 2 matches in 20 then 0 matches 21. My guess would be self rate after 3 years/ratings without generating a rating. In other words 21, 22, and 23 so self rate for 24. Just a guess on my part, but i think it would be optimistic to think you can self rate...

I got bumped to 5.0 then end of 2019. Have probably appealed my rating 100 times since then. After about 2 i knew it wouldn’t be granted but mainly did it outta spite. I did the 101st and probably last until new rankings come out. Shame is i got 2 5.0 matches in 2020 before things shut down then...

I spent 3.5 years in Columbia, SC which is about an hour south of Charlotte. It does get hot and extremely humid but I never found it to be unbearable. Not to mention you can always play early morning in the summer. Good news is you can play outdoors all year round. In the winter there’s...

Now that you say truman state that rings a bell as to what he told me.

Maybe it helped Adam moved back. Hitting with him could make anyone better.

Im not sure that’s accurate. I played with the guy that played #2 for Missouri valley in the semis and finals; we were on the same team in SC for a bunch of years. I know he played college but im about 99% sure it wasnt D1. Side note, he beat the KY guy 5&5 in the finals of nationals. In maybe...

Makes you a 2.5

Bumping this thread. Playing mostly outdoor clay since the weather has turned nice. But been rained out twice since Wimbledon started and forced indoors. Since it was Wimbledon season I decided to play both matches (singles) playing almost exclusive serve and volley. A lot of fun playing that...

Good stuff. I was only in Columbia from 2016 to mid 2020 and Todd and Moore is still going strong from what i could tell. Nice tennis community in the Columbia (and now Lexington) area.

Great thread. I fondly recall going to CMT sporting goods in roanoke va as a kid in the late 80s and just looking at ALL the sports equipment. Tennis was my favorite, but they had everything. Could have spent hours there. More recently Todd and Moore in Columbia has a nice mom and pop feel with...

Case of pot, ounce of beer.

Recently spoke to a high level (title at least) usta rep in Mid-Atlantic about my rating appeal for a bump to 5.0. We were discussing the limited playing opportunities for me in leagues and i asked about if there was any chance 40+ 4.5 may go back to 4.5+. She said not likely soon as that was...

I like your style, dude.

Sure i play them differently, I’ve yet to lose 6 games in a TB.
