  1. If i were you i wouldnt go out and spend loads just yet! Although you do need a decent pair of shoes and a fairly good racket. For the racket think about the weight and the brand... Wilson are good to start on. the shoes try nike or addidas ones with a bit of grip and make sure theyre comfy and easy to run in. Get balls that come in a sealed container bcus they have the best bounce ..try slazenger. Go to your local sports centre and find out about getting a coach to teach you the basics.    


  2. Get a coach first and see if you want to continue tennis.

  3. get a coach , then you can worry about all the accessories  

  4. Alright.... first, I would get a 12-pack bag. Carry water, rackets, extra balls, extra shoes, etc.

    For the rackets, I would try demoing some of them from your local tennis store online. See which one suits you.

    SOME RACQUETS THAT I'D RECOMMEND ARE THE BABOLAT RODDICK PURE DRIVE, THE BABOLAT AEROPRO DRIVE CORTEX, AND THE WILSON K SIX ONE. They are all excellent and offer good comfort and maneuverability.

    For the bag I would get one that goes with your racquet of choice.

    For tennis balls I've always used Dunlop so I would get those because the new Dunlop balls always seem to be bouncier than other new balls.

    Shoes to wear.... that's a tough one. I use and recommend the Nike Max Air Breathe Cage II, personally my favorite and the most worn shoe on the ATP Tour this year. They are very comfortable and have a lot of designs for each one.

    For the rest of the bag, carry a water bottle, your phone, at least 3 racquets, tennis balls, maybe an extra pair of shoes, extra strings, towels for wiping your sweat off, sunscreen, snacks like energy bars, some gatorade, and anything else you can find.

    SERIOUSLY, GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED (AND ALMOST ALL THE STUFF I MENTIONED) at

    You'll easily find what you need in no time!

    ENJOY your TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
