Yes. It's good cardio exercise.
It teaches you to develop precision, technique and strategy and also improves your agility.
And it's fun, fun, fun!!!

I would rank him at 5 behind Federer, Sampras, Laver, and Borg in that order. The reason why I put there is because he didn't dominate quite as totally as these guys did and had major gaps in his career. His legacy is somewhat tarnished by his absences and the fact that he underachieved when he was younger losing his first 3 slam finals, all of which he was favored to win. He more than made up for that though by his career slam and the fact that he was at the top in 3 different decades. If he had been a little more focused earlier on, he would definitely be in the top 2 or 3.

It can be a bit hard on the ankles but yes it is good exercise. The down side is you have to have people to play it with which means that you need a lot of partners or some one with the same schedule and interest as you.

Yes it is a very good form of cardiovascular work out. It is a hard game to play. Please don't get frustrated and give up after chasing down tennis balls that you have missed because like any sport it takes practice and after a while you will become more agile and limber. Please remember to stretch your muscles and tendons before you play so that you wont pull anything. I hope this answer helped you.

most definitely. If you can find a hitting partner that you can rally with consistenly, it's a great workout. Unfortunatly, it's also a workout to just shag balls. give it a go.

Yes, lot of movement and stretching. Good cardio workout, yet fun so you dont even think about the workout.

It can be. The better you get at it the more of a workout you will get. You have longer rallies and do not have to stop every four seconds to get a ball.
