Talking tennis

Tennis is a tough sport, don't let anyone tell you differently, but as hard as it is, you can improve your game right now, all you have to do is continue reading and if you are truly interested in getting better,Here's the secret on how to improve:

*you must play more then one player
*you must play against more then one style
*you must play against better players
*You must treat matches as tennis lessons
* and most important you must play under pressure, where if you don't win you will lose something, and if you win you will win something, there must be a reward and punishment. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat goes a long way at improving your tennis game.
and there are he 20 Golden rules of tennis!
A set of free tennis instructions:

1) Do not ever hit the ball into the net

2) Do not ever hit the ball flat

3) Do not ever double fault

4) Do not ever try to hit the lines

5) Do not ever hit the ball as hard as you can

6) Do not stand on the baseline or around it

7) Do not return down the line

8) Do not hit down the line unless you have a short ball

9) Do not ever stand still

10) Do not let the ball beat you

11) Do not miss before you hit the ball five times

12) Do not let the ball drop below the net

13) Do not play someone you can never beat

14) Do not play someone who can never beat you

15) Do not try to hit like the pros

16) Do not try to learn the game

17) Do not play for wins

I love playing tennis. I've played competitively for a while. The rule I have is "Learn from your matches". From how they first hit the ball, I generally already know how they're going to play.

I have always been interested in Tennis, but really don't pay attention outside of the big events like the US Open and Wimbleton. When I was younger, I used to watch, but find it hard to do anymore. I just don't think there are the personalities that there used to be. That makes it harder to be interested. Just my opinion.

Nice tips you have there! I enjoy playing tennis, I play for a team in my school. I have gotten a lot better in the past months and will hopefully make varsity next year.

Tennis is such a good sport. You don't need a full team to play with you, and you can simply play with your partner and no one has to know how bad you are.
