Answer 3

It's difficult, I'll give you that. It's very demanding and physical.   To be good at tennis, get some private lessons and get all of the equipment you need. Then get a partner or friend to hit with daily so you stay in shape. That's all I really got for you!

Answer 4

practice, practice, practice!!!!!!

o and never give up!!

Answer 5

Tennis, of course isn't like just any other sport. But if you want to play in any matches and if you're really serious about signing up for your high school tennis team then you should probably matriculate more with those who are already on your school's team and talk with others who plan on joining the team as well.. maybe asking them if they would want to go out to the courts and hit? That should be a start. Huh? I have also learned from others that don't know much about the game and it's scoring methods, it may do you well to watch pro tennis on TV. I believe that would be a good factor for you to consider. That could substantially help you too. By the way, there is always The Tennis Channel and thetennischannel.com __ Good luck.

Answer 6

No joke, I taught myself to play by hitting a ball up against a wall until I was good.  The wall beats you every time, so it makes you good very fast.  BE THE WALL!
