you might be 3.5 in bad days up to 4.0 in
good days. There is a brief description of skill levels below

Skill
Level:

This level is for
recreational players.
Specific skills will vary
with stroke but in general, either the forehand or backhand are
inconsistent. Play is sometimes a bloopy type shot. First serves
sometimes go in and have some pace, while second serves are lobbed. Net
play is fair and court coverage is adequate. USTA rating of 2.0 - 2.9
- Intermediate: This level is for intermediate level players.
Ground
strokes are more consistent and players usually have a strong forehand
or backhand but usually one is noticeably better. The first serve is
solid and consistent and the second serve is done with some pace. Net
play and court coverage are good. USTA rating of between 3.0 and 3.9
- Advanced: This level is for advanced level players. All
aspects
of the game are solid and only in strategy or mobility will weaknesses
be evident. Both first and second service are strong. USTA rating of
