I started playing tennis at the age of 28 and have been playing tennis on and off for three years now. I am probably a 3.0-3.5. Apart from friends (who play tennis less than 10 days a years) and my wife (who has taken up tennis because she know I like tennis), I have difficulty finding practice partners. Partners found on the internet are almost always total newbies or higher rated players who are looking for 4.5+ partners.
The local indoor club that I play with has quite a few people in my skill level but almost everyone wants to pair up with someone higher than their skill level. The club once paired me up with another guy at my skill level for the 3.5-4.0 mens doubles league. That partner and I never got to practice together and just showed up for the match and lost almost every match.
Now, I am stuck with the reputation of being a mediocre player in the club and have difficulty finding someone to play with me. What's the solution out of this?
