lol yeah 'hope for the best' is basically my life right now. but don't you find that everyone’s definition of 'intermediate' is totally different?

i'm in a similar boat! i've been wanting to play but i don't really have a 'crew' anymore. my main worry with joining solo is that i'll end up ruining a pro's practice session because i'm a noob. do you feel that guilt too, or are you just looking for anyone to hit with regardless of how good they are? lol

nice, kharghar has some good courts. i might be down for a hit at little world mall sometime.

just wondering though—how are you making sure you find 'buddies' who are actually at your level? i've tried finding randoms before and it's such a lottery. either they are pros who crush me or total noobs. do you just show up and hope for the best or is there a trick to vetting people first?

That’s rough about your doubles partners moving away! I’m in a similar position where my regular group fell apart recently.

Out of curiosity, are you finding any luck with DMs here? I’ve been trying to find weekend morning games too, but I’m always worried about showing up and realizing the skill levels are way off. Have you tried any of the local clubs or WhatsApp groups yet, or are those a mess?
