Playing tennis is about 5x as hard as playing hockey or basketball, imo.

5x as hard? I just don't see it. It's all about angles on the court. Cutting down the angle and putting yourself in position. No physical contact with oppisiton. Hand eye coord. and court awarness is the key. Just my opinion.

NO WAY!!! tennis is by far easier...I think soccer and hockey are really though to play, ive played both...sports like football and basketball are really easy it's all about how athletic you are...tennis, it's all about having an expensive racket and being able to get your serves in, rallying is very easy

Ok Nobody knows sports Fine lol. But is a challenge going to happen or not lol.

ha85 · 09-30-05, 05:40 PM

lol i play all the time...I remember when I was first learning how to play rallying was probably the hardest part but once you know how to hold the racket right and understand all the spins it's really not that hard, I can rally pretty competitively...the only thing I find hard are the serves, if I dont play tennis often I lose my serve very fast, getting it back is pretty tough too...but yea ive been playing for about 4 years and I still dont have a good first serve, my 2nd serve is actually very good though, has like a mix of kick and slice, i sometimes just use my 2nd as my first...tennis might be really frustrating and hard the beginning but once you know how to hold the racket right, understand the spins, timing is crucial...oh and also learning how to hit with your backhand took forever, but once you get the hold of that it comes natural...it's a very fun social sport, i love it

JimL04 · 09-30-05, 08:19 PM

yeah I love tennis used to play a ton when I lived in Canada, don't know anyone down here who plays. I would love to get back into it just to get in shape again. I hit serves all the time as I don't have anyone to rally with so I guess I am the opposite 1st and 2nd serve are great...I am sure the rallying would be weak as well as my running around the court.
