Do u play in public courts? i played tennis almost every day from 10 years until 17, but where i live there aren´t public courts, and play tennis is impossible if you are not member of a club , is not like basketball or football that u can play free with your friends when u want, i´m sure that this is different in other places.

Where do you live??

I live a 1 minute walk from a public court. It's not a great court, but it's very close and it's free. Most public courts (at least in California) are pretty decent quality, they're really not that much worse than the club tennis courts.

If you have Google Earth on your computer, just type in Long Beach, California, zoom in, and you'll see a billion tennis courts, they're of course really easy to spot from the satellite pictures.

i can't see a shit Jon haha. i believe you though :lol: , and how does it work? i mean imagine there are 8 people waiting to play at the same court at the same time, how do you deal with that? i know you have weapons in the US but...........kidding, not seriusly i guess you play for a n 1 hour or so and then the other guys play no?.

Here in Mallorca it cost 9 euros/hour...12 dollars i think, it's much better to buy a season ticket at some sports center, cause you get discounts to book the tennis courts.
