played in high school. I can serve and volley a little, but I don't chase the ball down too much, and I try to spin it as much as possible to make up for my lack of ability. I say that only to provide context for the following.

A few years ago, I played my sister in law when she married into the family, at the request of my mother in law. The sister in law played tennis on scholarship at some division II school on the west coast somewhere. Anyway, I beat her 2-1, but just barely. Maybe something like, 6-4, ,4-6, 7-5. But still. I was laughing inside, and she was clearly pissed. I was 35 at the time and she was 23.

She started taking private lessons again to "get back into it."
