When I started playing tennis here in Charlotte last year it was purely for recreation. I liked the socialization I got on the courts and there were tons of parks around here that always had open spots so I usually just ended up hitting a few balls around after a walk. Well, over the course of the year I got pretty good and my friends started asking me to be their doubles partner when they’d play! Earlier this week, I was online just playing around when I saw an ad that said to visit the site for details about a tennis ladder in my area. I had never really thought of playing in a league but all of a sudden here I am, signed up to play 10 matches in ten weeks! I hope I’m not as bad as I think I am but I guess we’ll find out soon! Hopefully I’ll make some new friends and get better at the game – who knows, maybe I’ll win the whole ladder! That would be the day!
