Tennis players around the city

[Mansell]

Hi guys, looking for some quality tennis players interested in playing good competitive men’s doubles at Siam Bayshore Hotel in the mornings at 8am. Our court is mostly in shade which keeps the heat down.

 You are finished by 10am and have the rest of the day ahead of you. Any age, as long as you play around 3.5 to 4.5 level. Contact me if you are interested. Thanks. Our next match is tomorrow Friday at 8am.

oh could be the rating system is not the same everywhere in the world ...

I did. Played against national ranked players. They were better though. I was better than most B graders though. The A graders were pretty good but you learn more from playing against better players.

yeah that's a good attitude,

but most people are sore losers and just get pi**ed off if you're beating them.

It is boring winning 6-1 against weak players all the time. Rather lose 6-1 against a gun. You get to see how they operate. Same in any sport.

Well, also the "world of ????" has changed, since I played Tennis in Bangkok and Pattaya, including giving Tennis lessons. 

Our group played good competitive Tennis, but we always invited also weaker, not so good player, to join us. 

After our games, to socialize was as important as to play.

that's one reason i stopped playing. 

i'm a private person and when you're on the courts the circle of friends (mostly false friends) grows too quickly.

too many people you can't trust want to get close to you.

not to mention the copious amounts of alcohol at these social gatherings.
