How long do i have to train for to become a tennis player?

Question

I'm 14 yrs old and i really want to be professional tennis player. Can anyone help me to achieve this??

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you need to start when you about 4 years old, so think you are way too late.

Answer 2

you must start very young:)))

Answer 3

I don't know if you can turn pro know, but here are some tips.  Take private lessons, as many as you can.  These are much better than group lessons.  After a couple years if your really good and serious about it you could try to get into tennis acadamy.

Answer 4

as long as it takes. If u are really serious u gotta keep practicing until you have achieved the standard u feel u should be at. I practice everyday but that is coz i have a wall to practice around and i hit with other people as well. unfortunately there is no guarantee as a physical athlete u are prone to getting injuries that is why u got to make sure u do not overdoit! and keep yourself well conditioned overall.

But if you believe in yourself then go for it but always be realistic of yourself never stray to far from the apple tree.

Answer 5

Sorry, fourteen is not early enough, but hey, it could happen.

Answer 6

About 5 weeks give or take a day or 2, lol depends on how much practise and effort you put in more like years to be any good, age is slightly against you now, need to really start about 4 or 5 yrs old.

Answer 7

I have heard this many times and i am one of those people if you look up on google and type in things like how to join in on tennis tournaments or whatever you like you might find something.

Another thing is try going to tennis clubs and getting into tennis tournaments and/or get a coach and of course it will take time before you are good enough before you are entered into things like wimbledon.

I think it is someone at the tennis to pass on the message or enter yuo in themselves.

Answer 8

no offense but a lot of people like you want to be pro and then realize its impossible. you are kind of old for starting, but if you have talent you can make it

take private lessons and such if you can afford. theyre expensive, but they do help a great deal.

play with a lot of different people who have different skill levels often to build up your experience. play A LOT

play against a wall if you cant find anyone to play against. the best ones are the walls with the lines on them, representing how high the tennis nets are. it helps your accuracy a lot.

main point is, just keep playing, keep playing, keep playing.hit the ball in your dreams if you have to
