Comments on: How to Play Singles Tennis

on 8/8/2006 I just bought rackets for my wife and I. I played in High School, and had forgotten how much fun it is. I would recommend this sport for absolutely anyone. It isn't as hard as people think! It is also very cheap. You can buy a decent racket for $20 and balls for $2. Play is free if you have a neighborhood court nearby, and you probably do.

If you are playing for competition, take lessons from a professional. Play as often as possible and run if not playing.

If you are playing for fun, don't be too competitive. It is always more fun to volley than it is to chase balls and serve.
