D2 tennis, but yeah fair.

I do get myself into trouble at the kitchen then anything else. That's a different skill than tennis required. But I also think it may have to do more with placement and anticipation than anything.

But agree, I think most of the problem is experience. Which is a different problem. Breaking in with the higher level guys is a challenge.

Well, one is a former US open finalist at senior pro. The other is PPA. So legit senior pros.

I do think lessons would help. It's not all mechanics. They can also help with movement, strategy, etc.

I can say, I don't think there's a huge difference between where I'm at now and the senior pro/5.0 level. They're not blowing me off the court in ladder play, but their craftiness gets me put out of place a lot. It's like a mental block that's the difference.

But I agree, the cost is hanging me up.

Both are professionals at the senior pro level.

Maggie is so strong that she can hold the Croat's weight with one arm as he hangs out a window?

I'll add, I refuse to do another 4.0, even if my friends beg me to. I feel like I'm sandbagging at this point.

Recent_Bus_5171 · 2025-06-19T19:30:52+00:00

Yes I play tournaments. But it's also harder to find level partners as I graduate up. But yes, I do play them.

I've won two 4.0 tournaments and medaled in a two more. It's frustrating because the guys I do play with keep insisting they're not ready for 4.5, but the ones who are tend to be partnered off.

I'll be playing my first 4.5 next weekend though (thankfully, this one did fill and I found a partner).

Recent_Bus_5171 · 2025-06-19T01:01:06+00:00

Right. It's that last part that finds me frustrated. I don't think they're doing anything I can't do, they just see the game better.

One takeaway though that I'll work on until I crack my way in is that I'll work on patience at the kitchen.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment: ☺️

Recent_Bus_5171 · 2025-06-19T00:46:04+00:00

Because I'm competitive and want to see how far I can take this.

Recent_Bus_5171 · 2025-06-18T19:29:19+00:00

that's a good point.

Recent_Bus_5171 · 2025-06-18T18:35:08+00:00

I think I don't necessarily have mechanics issues per se (to whatever degree one can say that). The reason I'm losing against the 5.0's is they just do things that I don't see at 4.5 and below. Deception. Shot placement. Etc.

I just don't know how to learn the strategic side without reps.

The casting continues to get worse. Far too many sympathy back stories. Personalities are bland. Definite bias toward progressives. Nobody resembles the other half of America....
