Thank you. Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I do have a few follow-up questions: When you say “big difference in the amount of court I can now cover compared to before”… do you mean more or less? Would you discourage me from playing singles?Cutthroat (three people)? And, if you’re willing to tell me, how old are you? Thanks again, and happy Thanksgiving.

I can cover WAY MORE court now with replaced knees. Just as an example, being a right handed player and being in the backhand corner, I am now able to get to pinch shot in the front right corner - its very manageable now after the replacement. I usually play about 4-5 games of doubles 3 times a week. I would suggest that you cap it to 3 games of cutthroat/singles in a given session. I feel it puts a little more stress on the knees. I am 62. Glad to help. A Very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
