St. Paul/Minneapolis 4.0/4.5 players?

I am looking for some people to play with in the St Paul / Minneapolis area. Never played a rated tournament or league so I am guessing at the rating. I have a Lifetime Fitness membership so I can play there.

Hopefully this is in the right section.

I'm in Mpls/St Paul. I'm a 4.0 and often play at the St Louis Park lifetime.

How are you arriving at your rating? To be honest, most people rate themselves too high unless they have experience with league/tournaments. Did you play high school/college tennis?

I also am a Minneapolis based 4.0/4.5 player (don't lose much at 4.0, win about 1/3 of my 4.5 matches).

That is where I often play as well since my brother lives near there. It's impossible to say for certain my rating without having played other rated players or in tournaments / leagues. So I had to guess. If you'd like to play sometime I can pay for the court time the first go around.

Where do you usually play during the winter?

Late April we'll be rolling again:

Thanks for the link!

God, it has to be coooooold up there right now.

14 degrees right now. Not too bad. I don't mind the cold as long as it's not windy. Last year I played outdoors into November and the coldest day we played was 28 degrees.

I'm a mid to high 4.0 in Minneapolis area. I usually play out of Baseline or Public Indoor. I'm a grad student and can sometimes play during the day if that works for you. It's definitely much easier to get court time before 3pm.

If you'd like to play sometime shoot me an email through my profile on here. I can't do it through either of yours. I'd love to play though and I can play before 3.

Sent you an email SlapShot.

It's not so much the cold as the snow. It's a pain to have to shovel the court before you can play.
Also the ball doesn't seem to bounce all that well when it's cold out. The molecules tend to be a little less active than normal.

If your looking for 4.0-4.5 players just check the winners of the local 3.5 league tennis....:) Cough

Hey Pwned - I did get your e-mail, just have been swamped at work of late.

I am off the week between X-mas and New Years, and would be free to hit anytime during that week.

Good to know. When it gets closer to that week I'd love to set something up.

Sorry, I'm a teacher and swamped with end-of-semester stuff.

I'll be off the middle of next week until the middle of January.

Also, I tried sending you an email through here, but it says I am not able to.
