Why not? What kind of evaluation was this? It was a great show of the ‘pros’ and their skills. I’m wondering if the evaluator even has a chance to see the level of my friends who CAN serve, dink, volley and return. Shame on you! What a waste of their time.

You know this is a tough one. Going in you, or I , would want an honest rating, and the way to do that is to play the best you can. I'd hate to be a 4.0, play dwn, and be rated a 3.0 after three years of drills and work, and study of the game. ??????
