Answer 1

1....officially u can play Junior Tennis till u have not completed 18 yrs of age..( ofcourse there must be rules like..if u reach a particular rankeg.. like top 100 or 200 on the pro tour.. u can't play junior tenis then...)..but it is always the skill and  maturity that makes u a junior or a senior players...some juniors often opt outa their junior tourneys coZ they have had enuf success on the pro tour...eg..when Donald Young reached 3rd round of USO in 2006...he showed his maturity and pulled outa the junior draw..that year....and doesn't seem to be playing any Junior Tennis anymore...

2...that's a simple thing in tennis...u just need to watch carefully the upcoming french open and HEAR the Commentary very well...here is the link where u get all the info abt tennis scoring...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis

3. u have to ask it from some player who actually plays the sport...i have never even touched a Tennis raquet..

4...it depends...some players do and some don't...MANY of the male players grunt in order to release the power outa their body...on the women' side...very players actually grunt....Williams sisters do it enormous amount of times...Sharapova also does grunt a lot..

5. The Tennis Channel is ur best option...however..often many regional channels also cover the Tennis matches..other common provides in many regions are ESPN and Star Sports..some of the channels show from higher rounds onwards..like 3rd rnd,QF etc...some show only night ( acc to local tourney time ) matches coz they are meant to be for players ranked high..some show matches of only seeded players...or many times like local favs..eg...in NED, u'll find Michaella Kraijichek vey popular though she's nowhere close ot her best now..Sania Mirza is an absolute ICON on India...

Answer 4

1. It isn't about age, it is about skill level

2. You score when the opponent either misses the ball, hits it out of the court, or allows the ball to bounce more than once; scoring goes: love, 15, 30, 40 (and if tied at gamepoint, deuce and ad in/ad out)

3. Tennis shoes

4. No, only people who release energy better when they grunt, grunting does not necessarily mean you're hitting harder

5. ESPN or specified cable tennis channels, you'll have to look up showtimes depending on your cable provider
