Tennis Tips

          I passionately dedicated to bringing you the most informative, up-to-date advice, articles and reviews on a wide range of always interesting - and sometimes controversial - tennis topics that wait just for you. Whether you're a beginner looking for advice on which racquet to buy, a parent seeking guidance on the best competitive pathway for your child, an advanced player looking to improve your forehand volley, or a player looking for tennis tips, there's something here for every level of player...including high quality tennis instruction, coaching advice and helpful tennis tips on all facets of the game.

           If we're talking about very young children,sign them up at a local 'tennis for beginners' class. If they really enjoy the game, I strongly recommend that you supplement your child's tennis by feeding him or her balls at every opportunity. I'm sure any coach will be more than happy to have you do this. 

          But no matter what age you are, it is imperative that you get some expert coaching. Without it, it's guaranteed that you'll develop a poor technical foundation for your strokes, which will not only severely limit your future playing level, but, over time, will also increase the chances of incurring injuries like tennis elbow.

          What is the best age to start playing? The younger the better! Tennis for beginners is much easier when you're very young. 

 Most touring pros started playing before they turned 10, and in many cases, much younger!  For instance, Andre Agassi's father, Mike, first introduced Andre to tennis "before he could walk, before he could talk, before he could even sit." Mike Agassi had "read somewhere that the first muscle a baby develops is the one that allows him to focus his eyes.

And so, even before my new baby boy was released from Sunrise Hospital...I designed a special mobile for his crib that consisted of a tennis ball dangling from a wooden Garcia tennis racquet." (Quoted from The Agassi Story by Mike Agassi). 

                                                                             

My Daily Life As A Tennis Player

People always ask me, “What do you like about tennis?” And honestly, I don’t have an answer to that. It’s just something that I do, that I’ve done for the past ten years, and I will do for the rest of my life. I can’t imagine a life without tennis. 

I lived and breathed tennis seven days a week. A typical day for me is to practice five or six hours with my friends and our coach.  Then I did intense few hours of homework. The next morning I start over.

I know that might seem like a lot, but the nonstop practicing and tournaments kept me motivated. I always want to push myself to do my best. Most of my friends play tennis as much as I do, so my schedule lets me hang out with them. 

If you want to be the best at anything, whether it’s a sport, academics or music, you have to dedicate yourself to it. I just feel that for me to be competitive, I really have to practice a lot to improve my technique. I’ve seen first-hand how this has changed my game.

I have a lot of tennis trophies, but I have two favorites. One is my very first big trophy. I was sixteen and was playing ITF tournament in Kolkata, India. Me and doubles partner won the doubles tournament Grade III. It was a huge accomplishment for me. Every time I feel that my game is a little off, I just look at it to remind myself of how far I’ve come. The other one was a National Singles Tournament in Moscow, Russia, where I took a second place after my doubles partner, I like that it is unique and that it represents my best performance so far in a national competition.

So hopefully one day I’ll play professionally. For now, I have to get back to practice

Live as a Tennis Player

Hey everyone! I hoped you enjoyed my first post :)

          I am trying to talk about how tennis helped a lot of  students and especially international students to get a broad degree. I have playing tennis since I was ten years old. I had a dream to be a professional tennis played till eighteen years old. Tennis was the only topic on my mind. I was waking up and going to sleep consumed by tennis. I was a home-schooled pupil. I had a letter and a permission from the International Tennis Federation to have an excused attendance at school, because of my tennis practices, tournaments, and traveling. So, basically I went to school only when I had to turn in papers, or to take midterm tests or any kind of exams.
         My daily schedule consisted of waking up early at 8:00 a.m., having a quick breakfast, and going to tennis practice, which started at 9:00 a.m. and lasted till 11:00 a.m. Some days could take a little bit longer than others. After finishing morning practice, we would have lunch with my coaches and friends, rest for a few hours at the coach office , and we would be back on the courts from 4:00 p.m. till 6:00 p.m. for the evening practice. Twice per week after evening practice, we had a running and weight lighting exercises at the gym, working with the personal trainer coach. That was my day to day life.
