    There’s a couple of courts at the gym I go to, but I can never find anyone to play with. It’s tragic.

    smh first ‘real tennis’ dies out, now racquetball… a thousand curses on the pickleball trend…

    silly game

    But actually racquetball does seem fun. I haven’t played, and have no idea how I could, but it seems like it would be a blast with a couple of friends.
