hey dom,

yeah man, i'm still in vegas. i'd love to get out there and hit some balls, even tomorrow afternoon if you're free but i gotta warn you that you'll probably get frustrated quickly with me. i played usta juniors and did well in high school tennis but i never did well at even the SR level.

today i went out and played for the first time and it was just pathetic. my backhand was ok, but i could barely keep a rally going with my forehand. i don't know if my mechanics were just bad and i have to figure out my forehand again or if it was figuring out the weight distribution of the new racket. it likely was a combination of both. i should get better quickly, but it still might be tough for you because i understand you were a top level player who played pro for a bit. still it'd be a lot of fun to get out there and hit some balls.
