Learn Tennis and become good over the summer?

Question

I've never played tennis. bu i can like hit normal forehands and backhands but idk how to serve well and create topspin?

any tips?

I'm taking lessons this summer. Is it possible to learn tennis in about 21/4 months with at least being able to hit fast. serve and create good topspin?

Answer 1

speed isn't everything. you need good control before worrying about that.

it depends on how much you play. like if u play everyday for like an hour, you'll grab hold of controllin the ball better with both forhand and backhand. It'll take you some time perfectly control it of course, but if your control sucks, and u try to hit fast, you'll probably hit the ball in the net.

Serves will defintely take a while to master. you have to like get use to shifting your weight and timin your hit perfectly. controllin this would take a while too. if u try to hit hard, probably be too long, or in the net.

Answer 2

Anything is possible.  Lessons will definitely help.  You will also have to play as many matches as you can.  Learning the strokes take a lot of practice, but the rhythm, pressure and pace of a match also need to be worked on.  Hit the wall whenever you don't have someone to hit with.  Grab a basket of balls and practice your serve, too, whenever you can.  Watch some tennis on TV, too.  And Good luck.  Getting good in just over 2 months is really pushing it, but if you work hard, and shoot for the stars, maybe you'll hit the moon.

Answer 3

For fast serves, I recommend playing catch. Use a baseball and glove. The serving and throwing motions are almost identical. To learn topspin, nothing is easier than ping-pong. This should also help your backhand, both topspin and slice. Footwork is the key to playing well when you start. If you can use your feet to put the ball in your strike zone, you will always have a chance. peace
