I wish you were in Ohio, we sure need more 4.5 players for our USTA team!

Forget Ohio! Come to Massechusetts! We need them out here...

4.5 - 5.5 players don't grow on trees.

Thanks you guys for wishing me to be in Ohio or Mass, would love to play you all as people say I am like a ball machine getting everything back and it tired them out.

Get a real ball machine! ntran, you fancy coming to UK for a hit? 

[ntran1]

I wish I can come to the UK, but can't afford to travel that far.

Dude, join the USTA!!!  Find a league and some tourneys and you'll be in the loop before you know it!
Good luck!

OK... I know Ill probably get 'ribbed' for this question...but since I have never actually "played" tennis... I'm at a lost.  What exactly is the difference between the points for players... like 4.5-5.5, etc.?

1.0 is the bottom or a beginner (you) and your boy Fed is at the top of the scale at 7.0.  The scale goes by 0.5's so you have 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and so on up to the top at 7.0.

Wow!  Thanks for the info!  That helps a lot.  And I would classify me as a -1.0 player! Until I really pick up the racket, I can't be a 1.0!

Actually Dallas what OSU said is wrong. The numbers represent the average number of shots per rally you "can" hold in a match. A 1.0 player will make only one shot, and a 5.0 player will make about 5 shots.
Another way of looking at it is, its the number of OMG shots one can make in a given game (on average). A 5.0 player can pull of 5 OMG shots - maybe an ace, a superb volley, forehand or something like that. A 1.0 player can get the serve over the net and goes Oh my God! and collapses, if a 1.0 player can resist collapsing he can become a 2.0 and beyond.
