Hi,
If i were you i would have a few practices with friends before you go to a lesson- in order to improve your hand-eye co-ordination, and other difficult features of playing tennis i.e. spin etc. Then after about 2 or 3 practices i would recommend going to a coach who will undoubtedly help you improve, but without the basic knowledge etc first- you will find that you have wasted money on 10 lessons before you have learnt anything. I have played for my country and i know how it works through experience. If you would like to get some ffree basic lessons, i have attached some video help-guides from a professional tennis player- they are definitely worthwhile.
Good luck!

It's much harder to break bad habits than to form good ones. If you take a few lessons before you start playing, you're more likely to use good stroke form right from the beginning. Many who play tennis for a while before taking lessons develop strokes that get the ball in somehow but are biomechanically unsound, which can create a low ceiling for their further improvement and also lead to arm injuries.

No. If you take lessons 1st, you won't have to 'un-learn' any bad habits you picked up from trying to play without really knowing what you were doing.

Recommendation: Get to the point where you are able to sustain a 5-10 shot rally. At that point you will be ready for a pro to work out any hitches in your motions. Teaching pros don't "build from scratch"; they tweak and adjust your existing strokes to maximize effectiveness of shot(s).
