I have friends who are tennis buffs, and they tell me it's very hard to get an open tennis court in the morning. They aren't in favor of taking any tennis courts away.

I think a better idea would be to institute a reservation system much like they have for golf. They could still reserve the first two hours of the morning for open play but still make the rest of the day more equitable. For one thing, you wouldn't be standing in line (in the winter season) for twenty minutes between games while you wait for an open court--there's not enough seats for everyone, plus cooling down and then going out to play again can lead to injuries. For another, standing in line close to others is not a good idea now with the Covid problem.

There are groups that can reserve two hours of court time at a time, but what if you just want to go out to play and don't know enough people with the free time to make up a foursome?

Also, and this is a pipe dream, I wish they would light the courts. They could be equipped like a parking meter, where you pay for a certain amount of time.

The courts are getting so crowded, just like the golf courses.
