Tennis vs. Badminton
Statistics don't lie. The speed and the stamina required for badminton are far greater than for any other racket sport. At the 1985 All England (Tennis) Championships, Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. At the 1985 World Badminton Championships in Calgary, Canada, Han Jian of China defeated Morten Frost of Denmark, 14-18, 15-10, 15-8. The following is a statistical comparison of those matches.
TennisBadminton
Time: 3 hrs & 18 mins 1 hr & 16 mins
Ball/Shuttle in Play: 18 mins 37 mins
Match Intensity*: 9 percent 48 percent
Rallies: 299 146
Shots: 1,004 1,972
Shots Per Rally: 3.4 3.5
Distance Covered: 2 miles 4 miles
* The actual time the ball/shuttle was in flight, divided by the length of the match.
Note that the badminton players competed for half the time, yet ran twice as far and hit nearly twice as many shots

It is not a sissy or easy or a backyard game, people who say those have not seen a real game in action or ever played it real.
The ball goes up to 130mph reguarly
Badminton will need fast reflexs.
Alot of people think its a easy sport because they always see backyard games, but it is not!

What is badminton?
If your conception of badminton is a quiet backyard barbecue game, you've never seen the pros in action. While this team sport is certainly quieter than bowling and less violent than football, players can work up quite a sweat. If it's a good aerobic workout you are looking for, step out onto the badminton court. Faster than a game of tennis, players can burn 600 to 1,000 calories an hour.

I have mostly played badminton but i will agree badminton is far more tyring than it looks.But honestly if u think of the length and breath of atennis court 40x40 for each player its actually a long area to run around.Also the strength required for tennis is also huge.U get a tennis elbow not a badminton elbow.

I have seen the real thing, but personally enjoy watching (and playing) tennis much more.
