What shot do you perform best?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:23:34 GMT

In accordance with the poll, I'd like to know what shot is the best in your tennis arsenal. While the six choices are forehand, backhand, drop shot, volley, overhead smash, and serve, feel free to bring up situational plays that you perform well too.

I have to go "boring" with this one - my forehand is the best shot I've got. It is, by far, my most accurate stroke; and of the six other shots listed, I would have the most confidence in my forehand to win me a point.

is there a way for a member of the tencap group add to their to do list?

is there a way for a member of the tencap group add to their to do list?

remember my shots should be called in unless you clearly see the ball out; ps if it touches the line you should call my shots good

Cheers,

Who will win the Women's singles title in the 2009 US Open?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:22:16 GMT

With the US Open a little over two weeks away, I want to know what you guys think about the women's side of the US Open. Can Serena repeat? Will Venus dethrone her little sister? Or will Dinara Safina finally live up to her #1 ranking?

MN North Metro Flex League - Bummer!

rstanke@lifetimefitness.com — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:03:12 GMT

Big bummer to find out this morning that the MN North Metro flex leagues was delayed until later in September!

Well, perhaps for a "pre-season" warm-up, if anyone wants to get a couple of matches in, I would be game. My home club is Fridley (MN), but willing to venture across the metro area when day/time is right.

Recreational-ish tennis lessons

How many Grand Slam titles will Roger Federer finish with in his career?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:27:26 GMT

He sits at 15 Grand Slams entering next week's US Open, which he has won five years in a row. I think he'll get at least three more: two next year, one the year following, with wiggle room for another before his 31st birthday in 2012. So I'll go with 18 Grand Slams when Federer calls an end to his storied career.

What do you think? Is 18 titles a fair number?

Court Fees

tchristopherson@lifetimefitness.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:44:57 GMT

Where can I find a schedule of hourly court fees for each club?

Who is the greatest women's player of all time?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:12:36 GMT

Which women's player gets your vote as the greatest of all time? Martina Navratilova? Chris Evert? Steffi Graf? Either of the Williams sisters?

Favorite tennis player of all-time?

rstanke@lifetimefitness.com — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:45:36 GMT

Who is your favorite tennis player of all-time? For me, growing up being heavily influenced by my dad who is a big tennis fan, I got use to hearing about Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and John McEnroe. I like all of them, and a lot of the players on the tour now, but I have always had a liking for Boris Becker. That guy's serve was incredible. His power was off the hook. And just think... he was using a wood racket! For that, I have to go with Becker. Anyone else?

Singles this weekend?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:46:42 GMT

Anyone up for a singles match this weekend? 4.0 player here. In Chanhassen but could meet in West burbs or South Minneapolis.

Thanks!

Who is the greatest men's player of all time?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:08:04 GMT

With Roger Federer winning the French Open on Saturday to claim a share for the most Grand Slam titles ever (14) and to earn a career Grand Slam, it begs the question: is he the greatest men's tennis player of all time?

Lighting on the Plano courts

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:58:31 GMT

Any idea how to get someone to replace the light bulbs? We have been making the request for at least 4 months! It's very difficult to see the ball at night!

Who will win the Men's singles title at the 2009 US Open?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:05:18 GMT

Roger Federer is the favorite, with Rafael Nadal (and his rested knee) a close second. But what about the Andys (Murray and Roddick)? What about the Frenchmen (Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gael Monfils, and Gilles Simon)? Or how about 4th-ranked Novak Djokovic? Let's hear your thoughts.

I'm insane for picking against Fed, but Andy Murray is playing too good this year to not win a Grand Slam.

Is this discussion group for all locations of Lifetime Fitness?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:06:42 GMT

All the tennis requests here don't mention city or state. Is this discussion group for Lifetime members located everywhere in the U.S.? If so, wouldn't it be a good idea if the tennis requests mentioned more than just a tennis center (i.e. city and state)?

tennis for kids

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:39:55 GMT

Is there a program offered for beginners tennis for a 9 year old?

site

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 01:15:15 GMT

This web site is terrible! It's impossible to navigate. I spend tons of time every week using the internet but have not been able to figure out this site. Since my club no longer prints paper copies for its members, the least Lifetime should do is make sure their website is accessible and easy to use. I can't even locate basic fitness schedules or decipher what I do find. Help!
