Just goto any public courts in your area and there is almost certainly some one you can hit with. I've made a bunch of friends just going and hanging out at the park and asking random people to take me on.

I played in high school and I used to be a member of a tennis club. I don't play much anymore though cause I don't have anyone to hit with. But I'm pretty good except my serve sucks major balls. I have a good backhand and a decent top spin though. I'm scared to play net though so that's where I get beat a lot. Then I get pissed and smash my racquet.

I like watching it but I can't play it to save my life

^yeah i'm probably a 2.5 or 3, considering a 6 is "nationally ranked".

I'm totally sports-deficient. I couldn't even hit a baseball until I was in my 30's (still can't catch with a mitt). The only thing I could use a tennis racket for with any skill would be air guitar.
