Hi Folks,

Where can I play tennis in Moscow? Our apartment is in Chistie Prudie area and would anyone know of tennis clubs/facilities in the area? I would love to play with a knocker, at least once a week. I am an intermediate tennis player and would welcome hitting some balls with folks who play tennis.

Thanks in advance!

Hi
I am an American in Moscow for about a week and would love to play tennis - any suggestions? My apartment is pretty close to Red Square.
I'm an advanced intermediate - like a 4.5 player.

Thank you very much.
Mark

Hi Mark,

Are you here on a one week trip or has it been one week since you moved to Moscow?

It has been one year for me in Moscow and having access to tennis courts is not that easy. At least, I haven't figured it out. As a result I haven't played.

I am only in Moscow for another couple days but would love to play Sunday evening - my apartment is close to Chrisite Purdy also. Please let me know if you would like to play. Thanks.

Somone told me we there are courts in Sokolniki Park -

I'm just visiting - I've been in Russia for a month.

How do you like living in Moscow?

There are courts in Arkangelsoke as well. But without a car, accessibility is a challenge.

Let's try next time you are here.

Sounds good - I did see the courts in Solkiniki Park. I also saw the Spartak Tennis Academy which was really cool. How do you like living in Moscow?
