By Davis Pete


In order to control and become better at your tennis game, you should endeavor to put in more training and practice sessions. Relying solely on your natural talent will only take you so far, you will still need to age-old truth of working hard.

Tennis can be played as a singles or doubles match. Different techniques and rules will apply. Through time, the game of tennis has evolved into a more power game given the advent of new technology to make the tennis rackets. This is a far cry from the days of its origin in England.

The scoring within tennis also hasn't changed much since its original conception, with only a few modern things involved, such as the tie-breaker, the use of technology to preview disputed calls, as well as the players being able to counter a call that has been called by the referee.

The quickest way to begin to play tennis well is to understand the rules and concept of tennis. This is often accomplished by having a tennis lesson with a qualified tennis coach, by watching games of adult tennis matches, having private tennis lessons, or taking group tennis lessons. There are even kids' lessons available for those who want to start their child on a sport at a tender age.

Many local sport facilities or that of park and recreation centers offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced tennis lessons for all ages, either as an after school program or a family activity for the weekends or the summer. Depending on the level and where the lessons are held, there may be different areas that are learned; for example, beginners may be asked to purchase or borrow books on tennis, in order to learn about the rules for the game, while intermediate players may be asked to upgrade their equipment in order to perform better.

Again, the best way of becoming a better player is to practice. Many team sports will devote several hours per day to practice. If you decide to take private lessons, the instructor may arrange several times during the week for beginners to practice, but this can also be true for intermediate and advanced players as well. Remember that while daily training can be hectic, if an individual truly wants to be better at tennis, they must devote the time and commitment into playing the sport and getting better at it.

Some beginners may not have the budget to hire a tennis coach. They would opt for reading a book or video on tennis. It is not the same as having a qualified person watch over you. If you do have some but limited budget, try joining a group tennis lesson instead.

It is most often quite difficult to get someone better to play with a beginner tennis player. Most people are busy and value their time. They would rather play with others of similar standard. This is the irony of any beginner tennis player. The answer of course is to pay a tennis coach who will dedicate the time to play and teach you tennis.

Watching tennis tournaments and how the professional tennis players go about their sport is another good way of learning the game. Watching video clips of forehands, backhands etc is another good way of picking up tips on various tennis techniques.

Reading tennis manuals, magazines and books is also an excellent method to improve and garner new insight towards improving your tennis game.

Another important facet to learning is to have a humble spirit and be extremely teachable. You must not be hard headed and do not want to change your incorrect technique when told to do so.

Learning and practicing are certainly very important in improving your tennis game. However, another equally critical area is to improve on your own physical fitness. This entails improving your stamina through running, skipping and improving your strength through gym work outs. Care must be taken to ensure your do the relevant weight-related routines which are suitable for tennis.

Keep a happy demeanor when you play tennis. Do not let negative thoughts hamper your game. Smile and just feel free when you are on the tennis court. You will learn to enjoy your tennis then.
