How do you find a tennis partner to practice your tennis game?

Tennis players who want to move beyond their level must devote time to refining their skills. Your tennis skills will only improve with hours of practice and a commitment to improvement.  The problem I always find is finding a partner who can play on a weekly schedule and/or a partner who can match my skill and can keep me challenged.

I tried finding tennis players on Craigslist but they wanted to just ACT like they wanted to practice but really wanted to PLAY a game---act like they have no skills then it turned bizarrely competitive.  I'll share those gonzo experiences later...needless to say I don't do the Craigslist anymore.

So back to square one..how to find a consistent tennis practice partner.  Here are some ideas I'm going to try, I'll you ladies up to date...OR feel free to share your experiences too.
