For some reason tennis is a sport that makes me rage when trying to learn it ? i have played a handful of times but constantly give up due to frustration ? not sure why though i play golf, no rage and lots of other sports, DH mountain biking snowboarding, skate boarding, hockey basketball etc... but tennis is the only one that sets my head on fire  |

I don't play tennis, but my mom and dad are pretty good tennis players who play with amateur leagues all the time. Although, back in middle school I took tennis lessons, least before I became a fat ass. My big thing is running.

Tennis takes a while to master and you keep on learning, the more you play the more it feels natural.
Heck, I love playing tennis, and thanks to working out, I can keep up with "healthy" players.
I am tall as well, with long limbs, so yeah, it's way easier to reach and hit over the net and have a beastly service, just by swinging that leverage.
I have noticed that getting stronger legs have the most impact on my game, as I can now get to the right place in time to place myself in order to hit the ball like I want. Hard sport on them calves!

I'm an old fart, 38 years old and started tennis 3 years ago. This last year, together with working out has gone really well. Matches are something else. Improving on that in a fast pace.

I love tennis, it's a challenging sport and there's always something to work on. I like to hit against the wall, but this Spring I hope to find some hitting partners or maybe get a ball machine.
I agree with Sir Round: working out legs makes a big difference. Having strong legs also lets you do stuff like plyometrics and agility drills without getting injured. I don't think having muscular arms carries over to tennis as well, though. At least at my level, proper swing technique is vastly more important than raw arm strength.

Agreed. Leverage helps as well.
