Quote from others:
3.5's, you can be "king of the courts". You have a list of guys you
normally play, but can just show up at the courts and get a decent game,
though you would likely win almost every time out.
At 4.0, it's impossible to find "pick up" tennis, unless it's on courts
where the concept is practiced, and then it's mostly doubles. 4.0's can beat
anyone who frequents public courts, or even college courts, unless they are
team members of the school.
4.5 usually have even more problems finding suitable doubles. There just
aren't FOUR 4.5's at any tennis court at any given moment, unless prior
arrangements are made.
Any higher, it's all black book and booked courttime.
2.5 doesn't even know how to keep score
3.0 can play a little, but basically the lowest level for people who
actually play
3.5 most players fall into this category. Decent players who understand the
game, they just lack a weapon or consistency. Old guys can play at this
level until they are 80.
4.0 good players. Consistent, have weapons, etc. These are the better club
players and the good high school kids.
4.5 the best of the club players. These guys have fully developed games and
can really compete. This would include the very good high school kids and
even former college players. This is the top level that has functioning
leagues. 5.0s will only have leagues in big cities, and even then, there
will only be a few teams and some of the teams will have 4.5s on them.
5.0 these are the rare elite handful. Tennis academy kids. Recent D1 or
recent top D2 college players. Even most teaching pros don't play at this
level except for maybe the guys at the top resorts.
5.5 Does not really exist. Usually above 4.5 it's just "open", and there
might be a little 5.0 activity, but you never see 5.5 leagues. These are
current D1 or top D2 college players. Maybe some former pros or futures
players. The only way you ever get rated 5.5 is if you win a lot of matches
at 5.0 (or maybe nationals) and get bumped to nowhere. | n*********e 发帖数: 25274 | |
