Bang Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I used to play tennis 3-4 times a week. Now I play pickleball 4-5 times per week. Loads of fun, fast and a good workout. ~Bang 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm a big soccer guy but thinking of putting my kids into tennis with this whole COVID thing going on. It's a good social distancing sport, IMO. Planning on playing regularly with them at our Athletic Club this summer. Pickleball looks fun too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Former competitive tennis player here. It’s hard to keep it going competitively as you age with the stresses on elbow, shoulder and back. I’ve played a little pickleball last summer and will likely try again once it opens up to scratch the racquet sports itch, and some social intereaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I meant to post this back in April. We've known Paul since he moved across the street from us shortly after taking the job at VCU. His tennis coaching record speaks for itself. His men's team lost to Stanford in the 2000 Finals. I know he'll miss the competition but he's earned a well deserved retirement. https://www.wearecollegetennis.com/2020/04/14/legendary-vcu-tennis-coach-paul-kostin-retiring-after-30-years/ Longtime VCU Tennis Coach Paul Kostin, who molded the VCU Men’s and Women’s Tennis programs into national powerhouses and once led the Rams to within a victory of a national championship, announced his retirement Tuesday. “I am grateful for Paul’s 30 years as tennis coach, teacher and mentor to VCU’s student-athletes,” said VCU President Dr. Michael Rao, Ph.D. “As coach, Paul guided the tennis teams to national prominence. As a teacher and mentor, he guided student-athletes to promising futures beyond the court and classroom. Coach Kostin is VCU, and we will all miss him. I wish him well in his retirement.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Me too. It's taking way too long to decide. He clearly didn't mean to, he wasn't even looking, nor did he hit it that hard. But he hit her right in the throat. Plus earlier he whacked a ball in frustration. He's done! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I had $25 on Busta +1515! I better get the win. I can see why there are penalties for things like that. Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. He hit that old lady right in the throat. That was a tough decision by tournament officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have to admit I haven't followed or played tennis in a good 25 years, but read an article on the Djokovic DQ and it mentioned that either him, Federer, and Nadal have won like 50 of the past 60 majors. That is absurdly impressive. My first thought was "and people got sick of the Pats?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
