In light of the Freakyman series, I wonder if we can arrange more frequent real life matches between MTF members who live close to each other?

I live in Southwest Virginia (At these two locations 1 2) depending on the time. Near borders of Tennessee and North Carolina. Low 4.5, pretty defensive player, get destroyed by people 20% better than me and destroy people 20% worse than me. 6 on the Universal Tennis site, but would probably be 7 if it factored in a couple matches that it fails to.

:lol: I'm pretty sure most of the MTF match-ups are going to be like:

Grinder vs Grinder
Grinder vs Pusher
Pusher vs Moonballer
Moonballer vs Servebot
Servebot vs Grinder

:wavey:

I lose to Hewitt =legend at least once a year. Hardly to play when you're bedazzled the entire time.

I've played against 3 people on MTF of the years and they were all clowns of varying degrees. Poetic really.

Are you implying that someone on MTF actually knows how to serve?

I like to watch and play tennis but I'm totally talentless. Before the point starts I always say to myself to think on court but when the point starts I'm so focut on the tehnique-side that I only manage to push the ball back to my opponent. :sad:

I just realised I can meet Joe for a hit some-day. As he lives in London? Are you anywhere near Golders Green mate? Don't worry, we won't have a match if you don't want, we can just hit. I'll bring over a friend of mine, bring over one of yours and we'll mix up the partners for a game of doubles.

I challenge anyone living in Charlotte,NC to play me. Especially Nadaltards who are also tennis players(rare but there are always exceptions).

My Indian brother from another amazing mother. Are you close to Florida? Do you ever visit Florida? Johnny Grooves is looking for a match.

I'm out of touch so you'll probably beat me.
