Question

What age should you really start tennis to become a professional?

Answer 1

Any age. Learn the rules, different techniques to get good scores and practice

Answer 2

it doesn't matter what age you start, i started at 12 and still plan to debut on tour soemday, i'm 16 already--still not in the top juniors, or even near. some people jsut keep keep trying and never stop playing any tennis, you just have to keep your head up and think more about the game, and how you plan to become professional, dont think about what age you shouldve started or anything like that, sure lots of top players start early, some start even later, for all i know you could start at 15, and turn pro at like 22 at least, as long as you take lessons, practice harder everyday, stay positive, and overall healthy.

Let me also add, Michael Stich, he started at age 15, kept playing and eventually turned pro soon eough to be able to manage to win Wimbledon, reach a US Open final and had a career high at #2.

Answer 3

There's no specific age to start tennis. The sooner the better definitely. Rafa started when he was a toddler! But it doesn't really matter. If you're talented and have the skill, who'll care about the AGE? My advice - Start right away and I hope you become a pro someday! Good luck!
