Best Answer To Tennis Question

If your good enough, get involved with the governing body - The LTA. (Lawn tennis association) Join one of their clubs, they have many throughout the UK. After joining, youll soon know from their feedback whether your good enough to make it. Tennis is one of the hardest sports to become professional in though as the competition is so high (You wouldnt think it based on the players britain has produced in the last decades eh?.........Andy Murray aside of course :-) Their website is below though so go on, join, check it out and see where your nearest club is. Good luck and even if you dont make it, enjoy the game anyway :-)

Answer 3

Start by looking for a good club to join thats close to home for you. A club with decent facilities, good size membership so that you can play against different players/skills, different court surfaces - some clubs have both grass amp; hardcourt or indoor/outdoor for example - amp; a club tennis coach. Next step would be to look @ playing in some Local / Regional tennis tournaments. This will give you an idea as to where to you stand @ that moment compared to other top players in your region, will show you where you need to improve your game and will tell you if you really want or have what it takes to become a pro at this sport. At this step, it would pay to have a coach with you - some clubs coaches may go along with club members if the coach thinks that player has potential, just ask coach - to look at your game while you play, taking notes on areas to improve your game while givivg you advice amp; support. Do well @ this stage amp; the doors will slowly open....National Touneys / ITF / WTA. There will be people in place to guide you to the next step. Look to improve your technique/s - Serves, Forehands/Backhands etc Develop some strategies - Serve amp; Volleys, Working towards the net etc A good fitness schedule to help you keep up with the demands of this sport and last but not least.....Keep enjoyin it. Good Luck from the KoolKat

Answer 4

Sorry, got to agree with Paul W. Not many of the top players these days didnt do well as 15 and 16 year olds in the Junior Grand Slam tournaments, so if youre 19 already and not playing competitively its too late to become a professional. Id ask, who said you were good at tennis? If youre not playing for a club against good competition every week and winning, then how do they know? Being good at sport is a relative thing. Im good at it when I play against others of my standard and win a share of matches, but then I stop playing other 50 year olds and play my son and its a different thing altogether! Sorry to deflate you, but suggest you dont worry about becoming a pro. Just get into a team and play competitively if you love it that much, and see where you end up.
