Bio: I started playing tennis back in 1996. I used to belong to the Paxton Tennis & Fitness Club in Paxton, MA from 2000 to 2003. I used to play in the 2.0- or 2.5-men’s league. I played a few tournaments in Paxton and a few doubles matches in Massachusetts. From 2004 to 2009 I played in California. In 2009 I moved back to Worcester, Massachusetts. From 2010 until 2015 I played on the Lake Ave. Tennis Courts in Worcester, MA. In 2015 I rejoined again the Paxton Tennis & Fitness Club. From 2016 until 2019 I played in a 3.5 men's leagues in the Y-Greendale, MA. I also had a contract with the Paxton & Tennis fitness Club on Sunday mornings. In the winter I played in several men's leagues. A few unpleasant things occurred recently, the Y-Greendale and the Paxton & Tennis fitness Club no longer offers tennis; so, now I am forced to play tennis outside of Worcester, Massachusetts. In 2021 I played only one tennis tournament. In 2022 I did not play only any tournaments. In 2023 I played in a couple of tournaments. The first tournament was a level 4 open tournament in October 2023. I was stunned by the level of tennis those guys were playing. The second tournament I played in November I did better. In 2024 I signed up for another tournament, but I did not show up due to a work conflict. That hurt because I was so looking forward to playing in another tournament. In winter of 2024 I decided to take a year off from coaching and work on my game. I believe that coaching really harnesses the passion for playing. I was dying to play more tournaments. Coming back to play in 2025 was very tough at first. I felt like my reflexes of the playing ability were gone. I couldn’t see the ball; I felt very slow with my footwork. I still believe that I have a lot of work to do; however, I am really enjoying playing in tournaments.
