Is *tennis* an easy sport?

Answer 1

It is if you have a good hand-eye coordination. I love tennis! After you practice, it's really fun! But, don't just think you have to just hit the ball. It's not that easy.

Answer 2

Tennis is a lot harder than people tend to think it is. It is not just going out and hitting a ball over a net with a racket. The sport is much more complicated but you don't really see that when you are watching because a lot of it is mental. You must watch the ball and how your opponent hits it and try to determine where and how it will bounce and then get to that location and in the proper position to hit a good return. When hitting you need to be able to hit with accuracy and different forms of spin. Speed is not crucial when you are beginning the sport, in fact trying to hit it fast can slow down your learning process. It is much more important to be able to hit accurately than fast. As you progress then you will naturally pick up speed but don't concentrate on it when learning the basics. There are other things to consider when playing tennis as well, such as wind and sunlight.
I guess in short it is the level you want to play at that decides how hard the sport is.

Answer 3

Second only to golf, tennis is an especially difficult sport to learn, and absolutely impossible to master.

This is good not only because it provides an endless challenge, but it also provides a great deal of fun and exercise, a wonderful social life, and a sport you can play until the day you die.

Even better, this is true whether you compete against an opponent, or just hit the ball back and forth with friends.

Answer 4

i think most of the answers have a great idea about tennis, but missing parts and stuff....

Tennis is a great sport there are many tiny rules to need to learn. Once you learn how to play tennis and get the ball over the net, which can be hard for beg. players, you can learn how to do Spin, slice, and many other things.

Tennis if you are wanting to be playing Singles, is very much a thinking game, where to place the ball, how much spin or slice.

In Doubles, you learn how to work with your partner. To most people Double will either be really hard or really easy.

Always remember to RUN!

Answer 5

No no no no no!!!!! There's a lot more than just hitting the ball. You need to be able to do forehands, backhands, serve, volley, and smash overheads. Once you learn those shots and the rules, then you must learn how to put spin on the ball, focus on ball placement, accuracy, and footwork. Even though tennis can be hard and frustrating, learning and practicing the sport is fun. Plus, you can play tennis your whole life, and its very social while playing matches. You meet so many people!! I hope you play!!

Answer 6

It depends on the level you want to play at. If you actually want to get competent, it's very tough because it requires a lot of concentration and form. Any slip in either department means you lose the point. It requires a lot of focus and coordination, and as you start playing longer, speed and fitness.

It's not my primary sport, but it's a really nice change from my cycling and running. I've played once a week for the last six years.

Answer 7

It is fairly easy to learn, but difficult to master. You can play at a very simple level by hitting the ball back and forth over the net or against a wall by yourself.

You can ultimately get better and bette rand play more serious matches

Answer 8

no it is not. I took me 12 months to be a complete 5.0 rating. That was cuz I played about 5 hours each day, and played for school and so much effort. Maybe for an average player the first years will be hard then you will see improvement. It took all my friends atleast 30 months to be O.K

Answer 9

No, it takes hitting thousands of balls. You should practice 5 hours for every hour of lessons. It takes about 5 years to become an A player unless you are very talented.

Answer 10

No. It is physically and mentally draining. Only the stronger survive. the competition in the top levels is really enormous. Moreover it is turning out to be a real power game these days.
