Imagine someone who has barely played tennis since high school and has been on hormone therapy for 3.5 years playing against another recreational player. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
You should play in the ladies league but you should probably self rate at least .5 to maybe a full 1.0 higher than you think you should.
We had a lady that was similar and she went from a 3.5S to a 5.0 in three years. When she probably would have been fine self rating a 4.5 from the start. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I have no clue if the recreational women don’t enjoy playing non biological men. Give it the a try then you can tell the vibe.
Ratings won’t be an issue unless you were a 5.0/5.5 male in the past. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I think your best course of action is to play female leagues but play 4.5 at least, even 5.0. If you arrive and beat everyone up, someone's gonna make a fuss about it but if you play your best and play against better rated players, you could lose a few matches and be "relegated" to a level better suited for you and sta... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Yeah absolutely hit up a mixed league - I like them better (M) as there are often less dickheads if half of the players are female. I do not care whether I get trounced by a guy or a girl … good stuff either way and the level is often very even between the genders to quite a high level anyway✌🏻 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I used to participate in mixed clinics at a local tennis club. Those were great because they had us warm up together but then separate us in groups by skill not gender.
It was a great place to meet people and hitting partners. Some of those players participate in leagues and can invite you to join either a women’s leag... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Your comment is on the main post, so it gives the impression that you are making a transphobic comment and not taking OP seriously...

Definitely this - I played against a mtf transgender in mixed doubles (she had a male partner).

I don't want to out the person, as I think they've already gotten into some legal trouble (there were some other issues unrelated to being transgender), but this was a competitive match with teams that have multiple lines, and there's usually fluctuation between skill levels, so there really isn't a set skill level for... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
As long as you rate at the right level, you should go play the league with the gender you identify. I think very few people would be upset with that. But maybe before you do that, start hitting with some women at your level (maybe there is a club that has clinics or can connect you or there is a Facebook or meetup page... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
SF? How does a person find these groups? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Interesting question. Like the others, I suggest you start with a mixed league. I play with a mixed group every week. Skill level is much more important than gender. I’m a 3.0 so We just go out and have fun. A transgender person would just be another player in our group. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
while you may well identify as a woman, you have male physical superiority in sport, so be fair and leave sexual preference out of sports, tennis is typically not a sexual activity. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I'd look into UTR Flex Leagues. It's co-ed, so gender shouldn't be an issue | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Sanctioned matches men only. Otherwise doesn’t matter | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
At the 5.0 level you gotta be ready for that no? Maybe I’m naive but my assumption would be at a 5.0 level that’s not way out of the norm | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
UTR should fix the issue, no worries about gender, just rankings and scores. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I think this is the answer, or join a tennis club and meet people.
Maybe you can find some people on this Reddit that are in your area and would be available to play/hit.

Not even remotely the case. 5.0 is not open, and a D1 men’s singles player at a top school being 12-14 UTR is closer to a top 10 WTA player than any random 5.0. The gulf is astronomical. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Unfortunately being born male means you will always have an advantage over born females.
Outside of recreational play or some kind of trans league/ tournament situation we're not quite at the point where trans people are playing in their second gender's category without jumping through a ton of hoops. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

On one hand, I sort of get it, because if you get bumped to 5.5, you basically can only play open because of how few 5.5s actually exist, and the level gap — like I mentioned — can be so huge that a normal working adult just can’t keep up like they could when they were playing NCAA. So, they appeal down to 5.0, which c... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Any guys who would like to exclude women so they can "make guy jokes" is a huge red flag for toxicity.

Somewhat yes, but this was a bit extreme. I'm used to playing pretty strong teams, but there's a huge difference between playing a 5.0 guy and a 5.0 girl versus what this match was -- which was basically a 4.5+ guy and a 5.5 guy on the same team (to be clear, I'm not saying Morgan is a guy, just that her skill level wa... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
No offence, but if you are a biological man, then you should be playing in the men's leagues.
Much like the Lia Thomas thing - it'd be massively unfair to biological women to play against a biological man.

I don't think it matters at the rec level since you will be playing others at your same level. As for gossip, I don't think it will make a difference and will happen or not regardless.

Astronomical is definitely on point. Morgan is a bit removed from college - like mid 40s - but was still easily at a 5.0 level for a male. If you don't want to split hairs about how much about 5.0 she was, you still end up with what was effectively a 5.0 guy and a 4.5 guy against a 5.0 guy and a 4.5 girl. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

You're playing at an amateur level, who gives a fuck. You'll be playing people of a similar ability, regardless of gender stuff so the people you'll play will be about your level you'd hope.

The last couple of demos sound good to me. Honestly I think you should try a 300g racquet and just see how you feel. 300g is perfectly average for a racquet nowadays. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Right, I don't think I have met any lady in our 4.5 league who plays with a lighter racquet. So I would definitely try a 300g and see how it feels. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Thank you two for your input! I think 300g might be a bit too heavy (I'd rather have the option to get a 290g racquet add weight if I need it) but I'll give it a shot! I'm just worried about injuries as I'm only a recreational player now. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

I need a recommendation for a more supportive tennis shoe that helps with pronation. I wear Brooks and Hokas day to day that really help with my foot pain.

If you're looking for comfort, K swiss makes some of the most comfortable tennis shoes. As for support I haven't had a shoe that holds my foot better than Asics court FF.
