I'm a slug and need to get back into shape. I was a collegiate champion tennis player a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I was also a teaching pro. However, I haven't touched a racket in 7 years.

I would love to get a regular game going with a few people...even just one...any age is fine, preferably someone who is at least somewhat decent. At least a 4.0.

I'm probably going to be sucking wind after 30 minutes the first time, but give me a couple sessions and I'll get my timing back.

Anyone interested? Lots of tennis courts in Vegas.

would love to, but it seems you'd be significantly better than me.

how much better? If you can keep a rally going at all I'm sure you'd be fine.

Probably around a 3.5, but haven't played in about 2 years, and my serve is weaksauce.

I might be interested in playing with some lesser-skilled opponents if anyone is interested.

My skill level ranking: unaware such a thing existed

Looking at it probably a 3.0 first set, 2.0 second set, dead/near dying third set.

I'm probably no better than a 3.5 now, anyway, now that I think about it.

Really doubt this. Unless you had a stroke or something.
