The perspective of tennis has this understanding that you will have to be really strong, big sized and garner enough strength to hit the ball across the net. Probably if you have that understanding, you may want to cut that into half the difficulty. I’ve come to realize that its just the momentum you build in your body movement and not just about swinging that arm. Please stop thinking its a difficult game.

Its an illusion. It can be really easy once you catch the hang of it.

The underlying issue would be your motor skills be it for coordination , agility or balance that is difficult and not the game itself.

Creating an understanding and educating that part is what you will need to do in order to get into the thick of the game.

Hmm.. as far as in Singapore , thats the perspective i feel the majority of people are getting the idea of the game as extensively difficult. Also with the impression of the court being quite big. The ball being heavy. The confusion between tennis and badminton. The need to run a lot. Lets just say, you felt that you could get it right on the first try? If so, then which sport was it that you could get on the first try?

Having said that, it does have a certain level of difficulty but once you got the hang of it, the satisfaction is far greater for the effort you put into getting there.

Maybe i’ve convinced you to pick up a racquet and some tennis balls to your friends condo to hit some balls. Or maybe i did not. But the fact that you’ve read till here means you’re attempting to have tennis be part of your life. Think no further and just give me a buzz or talk to me about it.

P.S if you’re reading this could you comment how i could improve the blog in any aspect. I welcome any,ANY type of comments ( whether you’re a friend,family member, acquaintance or fellow human from another part of earth or an alien from the galaxy:)
