I started playing a little bit around fifth grade, but this year I'm taking the class in high school and I'm on the school team. It's really fun and rewarding... Ever since I started playing more this year, I've gotten a lot more excercise and made a lot more friends! I especially like how it's not a contact sport. And you can play singles or doubles. I like doubles, but only if I like my doubles partner :)

I try to make my backswing as compact "small" as necessary so as not to fundamentally break down in my mechanics.  I always try to maintain a full follow through whenever possible.  Against serve and volleyers this can sometimes be tough.  With a smaller backswing it allows me more set up time so I can handle shots with lots of pace.  More often it is the clay court players that have longer backswings.  Growing up on hard-courts I have made mine more compact.

Many tennis clubs in the UK are too bound up the Country Club ethos whereby who you are and what gear you've got and what you wear is more important that how well you can actually play.\n\nAll that ambition and winning is frighteningly infra-dig, old chap!  Best left to Johhny Foreigner.  They don't even drink Pimms, you know!

Ya being tall is always helpful in sports!  But im average for the age of 14 and i love tennis1  It's so fun it can be challanging at times but in the end it's worth getting hit in the head with tennis balls, having bruises, and injuries, to get that trophey! So stick with it and you'll be great!

i'm always asking the beginners to learn the speed of tennis balls. by knowing the speed you will try to adjust your movement when you hit the ball. you need to understand that in a match the ball will never comes to you; you need to come and hit the ball. then you need to practice tennis strokes; study how other players hit the ball and try to duplicate. for this all you need is a never-ending practice.\ngood luck and enjoy tennis as i do.

In about ten years from now if you remember this question, you will likely come to the conclusion that Andre was very lucky in finding a woman like Steffi Graf.  Steffi is a lot more active, can do a lot of things for herself, and is probably a great mom for his children.  I have always had a lot of respect for the way she conducted herself throughout her career.  Steffi probably understands Andre better than any woman he has ever met and that is why it was clear to him that she was the one.  Andre can sometimes be a little head-strong at times, but his heart is almost always in the right place.  Andre is a very generous man to those seeking to better themselves with the School he started and has really helped tennis grow along the way.  I am truly glad that Andre grew out of his earlier ways on tour when he was young.  he wasn't a bad kid or anything, he just didn't have the wisdom and experience that comes with maturity.  I wish I would have been able to see Andre perform live, but I have always enjoyed watching his epic matches on TV against Sampras and the fact that he truly found happiness with Steffi in the end.  The real funny thing was that I actually told a friend that Andre would be happier with someone like Steffi, and then 2 years later it actually happened.

Tennis is a GREAT sport! I love playing. I love the fact that you can be at any level and still really have a great time. When I played high school tennis, we had several players who were able to make the team without prior experience. We also had players who had never played before who made the JV and freshman teams. Is that an option for you?\n\nIf you really want to make the team, this is what I suggest: find a place that offers lessons in your area--this could be a local club or a your city's park and rec department--and spend a few months getting the basics down. Also, find someone to hit with regularly. Growing up, my best friend was a guy who I hit with every day after school. We were able to progress as players because we spent so much time on the court. If you're able to find someone to hit with and spend a lot of time on the court before try-outs next spring, then you'll find that you're more than likely in a good position to make the team. \n\nAnyway, I'll give you a link to help you track down places to play, to learn the game, and to find players to hit with. I hope that helps. Good luck!

I agree with nyyjeterlover02.\n\n1.  Force your opponent out of their comfort zone. \nThe person your most likely playing has a pattern, or a winning formula in which they unknowingly stick to.  May be they like baseline-baseline play only.  May be they ring around your shot to return the ball only with their power forehand.  In cases like this, either draw him toward the net with drop shots, or concentrate your shot to his backhand.  In addition, vary your shots with topspins, chops, angle shots, and see how he reacts to them.  This all of course is easier said than done, but doable.\n\n2.  Know your opponent as well as yourself.\nWith all due respect, your probably thinking that there is nothing about your game that is wrong.  How do you react in a pressure situation game?  What will you do when he rushes you at the net all of a sudden?  How are you going to counteract any power serves he has?  What are your strengths and weaknesses, and how can you capitalize/compensate for it?\n\n3.  Feel the center.\nFeel the center of your opponent and the tennis court, and feel the balance/imbalance of your opponent.  Is your opponent's momentum gaining or losing?  How will you respond?\n\n4.  Tennis is mental.\nMaster the mental aspect of tennis, and you'll see your game improve.\n\nBest
