Sunday Mayhem and the Fight for a Court

Sunday can be a nightmare on the tennis court in New York City, especially in Central Park. The weekend warriors come out early, every kind of person that can be imagined. From all over the world they land in Central Park on any given Sunday morning, fighting for a court to play tennis. I rarely play on Sunday because of this mess, although sometimes I put myself into the mayhem. Landing a court takes patience and skill. Sometimes the wait can be hours. All of this makes people more than a little cranky. New York City tennis can be tough.
