actually i went to that store this past weekend and its going out ofbusiness! theres nothing besides a little bit of string left in the store i was so disappointed to see everything gone!
Yes I am being honest. There's no point in saying "OMG I AWESOME" and then you come play me, whoop my behind, and then say I suck. XD
If anyone around the Hanover Park area wants to play, Monday (Labor Day) would be a nice time to meet up. I've been wanting to play for a while now. :O
i am a 72 year old blind asian man who plays wheelchair tennis and have been rated as high as 2.0 in the last year..... ok lets go with 19 year old 5.0 that sounds better. And it is fine if you are not that high of a level.... I enjoy hitting with beginners and giving them practice... As long as you can hit a slow ball back and not swing and miss then it's all good Vince_Has_Spin
my friends going to michigan too.... but he is like 1.5 NTRP!!! Too bad we live on opposite ends of Illinois!
So if you are this high rated then you must have played high school tennis and was ranked in the state, right ? if so, what was your ranking ? and are you playing college tennis as well ?
Really? lol thats cool...damn opposite ends...yeah i played hs tennis and got 3rd in state in 04'..now im doing futures events and stuff in the summers
15, Yes, Male, I don't know. Honestly I am not even sure what an NTRP is. I know how to play though, I'm pretty good. Yes, I rarely swing and miss a ball. In fact I don't think I have in a long long time. I have pretty good topspin from what my friend tells me.
Cool. What courts do you want to play at and around what time on Monday? Give me the name of the courts or a street address by it or something so I can Mapquest it.... cuz I am not too familiar with Hanover Park.
Place: There is the local High School courts. That is actually in Roselle, but it is very close to Hanover Park anyways. The location of the High School is: Lake Park High School 500 W Bryn Mawr Ave Roselle, IL 60172 Time: Whenever Monday is fine for me, so just PM me or let me know here.
Ugh sorry, thought of this after I posted and can't seem to edit my post. I don't think I got your name, Tokyo.
Cool, I actually know how to get to those courts. My name is Charlie. So in the afternoon around 2 or 3 o clock is fine??? Are we going to play a full-out 5 setter like its the US Open Final!?!
Hmm. I'll have to check with my parents about the time, since I'll need a ride. I wonder if they have to work, it being Labor Day and all. Yeah sure, I'm up for a 5 setter. Although it will be 3 sets of me losing. Do you mind if I invite a few friends? And maybe we could do some doubles too? Or then split into 2 singles matches.
Yeah man as long as their names aren't Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer then it's okay. Just post whatever time you can go when you find out and I will probably be able to be there at that time.
Sounds perfect, I should have a time by tomorrow for you. I'll PM it to you, unless it would be easier to post it here? Rafa is going to be a bit upset that he can't play with us now, I already said he could. :\
Yeah just post it here, I check this forum like every day for hours. I kind of dress like Nadal....... so that's a good thing he isn't coming, he would call me a poser.
No, no! Not ditched. I'm sorry, I had to go to my dad's for the weekend. And he has no source of internet whatsoever. Um, I'm thinking maybe 12 in the afternoon today?
Ah alright. Well good morning. XD Well my mom just screwed me over with some plans she had made for the family, so is 4PM alright? At the agreed high school courts?
Ugh, my parents are going to have to talk. Her plans have completely ****ed me over, she never tells me about this stuff until last minute. My stepdad is out right now so I may be another hour for the actual time. Sorry. They really **** me off.
Okay man that's understandable...... I will check back here from time to time to see what's going on. We could always re-schedule for another weekend if you cant make it.
Well, the thing is, my weekends are always filled up. I go to my dad's every other weekend. And then on weekends that I don't go, I usually have to get together with my friend for a "band practice" sort of thing. Today they are going fishing, and having a picnic. And then out for dinner. Not sure when we are leaving, so I can't really tell what time I'll be back at. I'll try to keep you updated here haha.
Hey Charlie. I'm back and ready to play if you are ready. I can get there at about 4 PM today (30 minutes from now)
That sounds perfect. I'll need to leave at about 5:30 to 6:00 as my family is going out to dinner and I need to get back and shower, etc. And if you haven't noticed, it is just boiling out. It's 91 outside and I Live about 5-10 minutes away from the court. My mom is worried about me and the heat. Is that alright?
Yeah man just bring some water and you should be fine. I would have to leave around 6 too so that works out great. Im gonna go Mapquest this school and then I am off!!!!
Yeah man it was fun.......and extremely hotttt. MESSAGE FOR SUPER MARIO!!!!! I was just wondering if there was a website that had tournament listings for Illinois...... or do I have to join the USTA and then join tournaments? I know you play em so I wanted to ask an expert!
haha hey thanks for the big bold!...i actually play ITF tournys..the futures..for that info....go to www.itftennis.com anymore Q's just ask!
Darn. I just looked at their web page too and it said it's closed for business. Where do you all get your stringing done? Any recommendations? Anyone want to hit today (Wednesday) after 3pm or (tomorrow) Thursday before 5pm? I'm 24, male, hopefully at least 2.5. Unfortunately I can't play too hard because of a small injury in my left knee, but my orthopedist said I can do some light hitting.
I fortunately string my own frames bc i have a stringer...lol but any local pro shop would work. Sorry man I cant play today either...too busy
Mario, I'm from Wilmette but I am 13 years old--lol. I am good though(I'm top 50 in ******* for 14s). If you live in Palatine, maybe in a few years I'll drop you a visit.
Hi Mario, I´m a 5.0 Argentinian amateur, staying in Schaumburg for the next two weeks. I would be more than happy to play some games on hard court! Let me know if you´ll be available.
