Hey Tennis Friends!
Welcome to all of the Tennis Friends who met me, or, found this site during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am playing on two 8.0 (combined) teams for the USTA Mixed Doubles season.
This time, playing in my local district, I got paired up with the wife of one of my former men’s doubles partner.
It is always great to play with/against so many Tennis Friends, and even more so when some of them are “tennis families”.
This match, I played with Chauha.
In the past, I have played USTA League with her husband, Tuan, and, I have lost, in doubles, while playing against their daughter, Autumn.
Great fun!
My results, so far, for this season are:
Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
1-1
Adjacent District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
1-1

Man the San Bernardino valley is gorgeous this time of year. In winter/spring, it can be so very nice in that part of SoCal.
Wow…that looks like a very nice venue Mark! And how come you never come to our matches when our team play! lol … We must not be camera worthy! Chauha is a good player…great win Mark! See Ya in the upcoming season.
You have, what looks like to me, a classic form in your serve: high, straight toss and raquet back between shoulder blades.
I met up with a tennis player at RCC a few days ago. Gave him your business card and promoted your site. Turns out he coaches kids 8 – 12 or something like that. So hopefully he’ll promote groundspass.net, too.
Thanks for sharing with your other Tennis Friends!
I have no influence on the captain’s choices. I just go with the flow. If it were up to me, I’d play every match!
It’s a beautiful place for great year-round weather to play tennis in!
