I'm taking a tennis class, and I got an odd phone call from the person who runs the tennis classes telling me they had a complaint that I (and a few other people) weren't good enough to be in that class. I spoke to the instructor and he said that as long as I tried hard he didn't have a problem with me staying in his class.Anyway, somebody made a mistake and told me who it was who complained! I was surprised-- I have beaten her before, and I thought we got along okay.Am I justified to be cold to her from now on? Any thoughts? Reply to this Question

I guess the smartest thing is to try and remain peaceful.
Thanks for the advice!

 I'd ignore it, but I would not "kiss-ass" to that woman either.
I think it is VERY unprofessional for someone to TELL you who made the complaint. If your coach is OK with you being there and to coach you, that you give the other team-mates adequate play.
Now is this a woman you have unsuccessfully hit on in the past? And she is uncomfortable with you as a person, not tennis player?

 Don't be cold. Be charming. Confide in her that someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. Ask her advice.
I think it is unusual and unprofessional for the person running the course to contact you with this information. What was his point? Did he ask you to drop out? The instructor seems happy with you, and presumably they are happy enough to take your money. It's a case of bad management really isn't it.
