Hi everyone, I started learning tennis in October and can now rally and play matches, maybe beginner to lower-intermediate level. At my tennis school, we mostly do practice only, so I'm looking for more actual match play outside of class. I often see people playing at public parks here in Tokyo, but they seem to already have their own groups. It's hard to tell if they're in a club, a circle, or just friends.
I don't have tennis friends yet, and even booking a court is pointless without someone to play with.
If you know how people usually find partners or match play in Tokyo?
• Are there beginner-friendly groups, meetups, or apps you'd recommend?
• Any tips for joining or finding people who are open to playing with someone new?
• What's the best way to approach others at public courts?
