looks like you could be in the way of each other, why not just block the other player? :)

90 percent of your life is dreaming, thinking that your body is so awesome, thinking that you are handsome, thinking that you are a good writer, when are you going to wake up.

I am awesome, I am hansome, I do write with substance not focusing on style so much, my consciousness is awake and I did play and did did very well in 5.0 tournaments in the 1999 - early 2000's. Some people are different than you  ;)

I stopped playing on the tennis tour and took up squash seriously. It fit me like a glove for some reason. The first thing I did after gassing out and losing in a tournament was to become world class in fitness. I started lifting weights again and in 6 months went up to 30 consecutive 400m intervals. That is running the 400 in 1min15 sec and resting 45 sec for as many consecutive laps as possible within the 1.15 mark. I was a very good athlete and had a great 3D awareness of the court even though I just learned the game 2 years prior. But that was all I was doing..playing, training and drills etc. I would say I was about 175 lbs at most. The amount of cardio was insane if I think of it.

I used to be a fairly competent badminton player and played in a few junior tournaments in Europe as a teenager. So I was fit, did my shuttle runs and sprints religiously along with weight training 3-5 times a week and then court training as many times.

Well, I thought I was fit until I played squash for the first time. Played the first game, went off the court, drunk nearly two liters of water and pretty much passed out. Utterly and totally fucked. Fitness levels to play this game professionally must be stratospheric.

I was playing tennis on the lower levels of the pro tour when I discovered squash .. fitness and athleticism were one of my fortes .. let us say that squash humbled me and I had to take my fitness to world class to be competitive as I got better and better. I played the highest amateur level which is equivalent to high Ivy League level and that is a whole different ball game I agree. On the tour you need to be a baller to do well. I have much respect for squash players. It may not look like it but those guys are fit with a capital F.

Last june, I went to play some squash by myself after more than 10 years away from the game. After the member of the club saw me hit the ball and some drills alone they started perstering me to play with them .. So I played a few guys one after another, set after set until my legs turned into spaghetti. Then, I went in short and my sole stayed put haha .. tore my achilean like a pice of paper.. that is the actual sound. Took me until now to recover after the operation and so forth. I am a little squash shy at the moment  ;D

I will wager they were like spaghetti before you went on court.

Do you have any evidence of this past life as a pro tennis player?

Also can you define "pro"

Probably not pro enough to have anything pop up on google.

Basically, a nobody.
