They must all be out on tour.
I do but about 60-ish miles west in Tampa.
If you drift that way let me know

They suck, but I can put that behind me.
I’d suggest you get the approval from the bosses to play me

No approval needed but I'd love to have a 1:1 in person discussion with you on moderation. I typically have standing weekend matches but if those are still on, let me see what else I can find for you. Are you OK with just hitting for an hour or so (no match play)?

Totally fine with that. I don’t play matches usually. Let me know otherwise I will not bring my gear (and will make my wife happy)…
Which is the US tennis capital? What about Bradenton or Miami ?

Isn't the USTA giant facility located in Orlando?

I used to live in orlando right by USTA
I'd just look at their schedule. They always have cardio clinics, and other clinics which are super fun. Plus others in the class are usually really friendly.
I'd recommend doin that the first day you can, and maybe you'll meet people to play with right after, or the next day or your stay.

Yes but it's a little bit of a drive from the Sea World area. If you haven't visited there before, you should check it out. I'm still impressed every time I go.

I won't be able to get a hold of the guy I'm thinking of until the morning which may be too late for you.

I think I visited it when brand new just before we moved from Florida.
Every Thanksgiving, when in Daytona Beach, I play at that FL Center, old USTA, with the guys that make it to the Nationals consistently...maybe you know Domien T.
Even if we do not get to play, maybe we can meet for a drink or coffee to let it all out about the Mods and Admins F2F

I don't know him. I played a guy years ago who knew you but now I can't remember his name.

This guy plays in the mornings, let me see if I can get a hold of him before he gets on the court and won't respond.

Late to the convo - whoops!
Orlando is a decent tennis city. LOVE playing at the USTA national campus and I've had a lot of luck finding hitting partners with joinplaytennis orlando

There is also a great group in the Western side of Orlando you can find on Meet up.
It's been a few years but I know they won a Meetup award for the success of the group.
