Hey everyone,

I'm just wondering if there are any tennis players out there that would be interested in playing some pick up games throughout the year. I'm pretty sure you can play in the DBAC during winter as long as you book a court. Anyways, if anyone is interested just let me know.

I would so say "yes! - count me in" but . . .

Haven't played tennis for almost 4 years and I'm not bringing my tennis racquet to mac. Sorry lol.

On the other hand have you been watching the US Open? Another Nadal victory or will Federer finally pull himself out of the ditch and get a consolation grand slam? I haven't given up on Federer yet lol.

I'm pretty much glued to the TV while tennis is on haha but as much as I'd like to see Federer win the US Open, I just don't see it happening. I think Nadal will win it.

I blame the mono (I that was what he had) Federer had at the beggining of the year for Nadal becoming the number one player in the world. I hope next year that Federer gets back to his old form, I enjoy watching him play.

Can you rent equipment from the DBAC? I presume that there isn't a tennis club like there is a badminton club at mac?

Yeah, Federer has mono. I'm hoping it's that too. I really hope he'll rebound.

To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not sure if you can rent equipment. I'm guessing that you probably could, but don't quote me on that. And no, for some reason they have badminton and table tennis clubs but not regular tennis. I'm going to mac tomorrow to drop off some books to sell, so I can probably swing by the DBAC and ask if they let you rent stuff.

As for Federer, I really don't think he'll return to top form. The men's tour is really deep talent wise. There are a bunch of younger players (ie/ Murray, Djokovic, Nadal, Tsonga) who are probably going to be contending for grand slams pretty soon.

I wouldn't mind playing a couple games of tennis if i had time, although i probably wouldn't bring my racket right away (hopefully you can rent one or something).

But i'm not that good at tennis.. i played doubles on the tennis team in school for a year. But i mostly play for fun :p ..i haven't played for a year...so i wouldn't want to slow anyone down haha.

Im probably at about the same skill level as you dragonfly, but id be up for a couple of casual games if I have time.

I played tennis all through high school and a little bit last year at uni, just casually though nothing serious. I'm up for a few games if you guys are interested. I have some fairly new tennis balls too.

Yeah, my guess is Nadal is going to win it. Umm, isn't Federer supposed to retire soon...? lol

Are you kidding me? He's 27!

i would love to play tennis at mac nd about skill level i used to be gud nw its jst fr fun...so yea meet u guys there nd i will be bringing mine racquet too...

I'm pretty sure the outdoor court is open 24/7. I think the times you are referring to are for indoor tennis, but the gym is closed this week for frosh week.
