Tennis, like fishing, is better with a partner and extremely embarrassing with one's head caught in the net. Snag some friendly competition with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a three-month membership to the Tennis Minneapolis branch of the Tennis League Network (a $24.95 value), an organization that helps match local tennis lovers with playing partners.
The Tennis League Network operates like a very specific social networking or dating website, but with the sole intention of pairing up tennis lovers with potential playing partners. See how it works here. After registering with the network, subscribers will be connected with up to 20 nearby men and/or women, matching individual skill levels to create complementary duos. The partner program is split into playing regions for Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, and Edina, allowing racket-brandishing participants to find a dedicated partner with whom to hit the tennis courts or clubs, and work on honing serves, volleys, and McEnroe-inspired racket spikes.

The Groupon Guide to: This Year's Coolest Gadget
Technological achievements have made gadgets more advanced than ever—the only problem is that no one knows which ones are the most must-havingest. Solve that problem with this list of the year's coolest gadgets:
- SolarScoot: This urban scooting transporter, made of imported Brazilian coacaba wood with decals designed by Tristan Cuehlo, certainly isn’t embarrassing for a full-grown adult to be riding in front of other full-grown adults.
- SongDog: Days at the dog park have never been more fun with this urban technophile's dream—a helmet that gently hypnotizes your dog into bark-singing your favorite MP3s.
- MirrorMD: Ideal for the young, health-conscious urban professional, this miraculous mirror reads your skin pallor, muscle tension, blood sugar, and retinal-reaction speed, then recommends that day's mixture of vitamins before predicting your D.O.D. (Date of Divergence).
- UrbanDogHat: Compatible with SongDog and the forthcoming SongDog Pro II, this techno-leap is another kind of hat…that dogs can wear!
