Zero Tennis
How long it takes to learn how to play tennis?
I’ve been having private tennis lessons for 4 months once a week and I went to group lessons(15 people) for 2 months and seems I’m still on level when I can’t hit with anyone. Is it normal? should I just quit? I probably have zero coordination. I’m pretty athletic, go to gym, skiing, but just have NO luck with tennis.
Be patient. You are doing the right thing by taking lessons. Tennis, as you are now aware, has a lot more depth than meets the eye. They say it take 3000 strokes to build muscle memory. So you need to hit 3000 decent serves to teach your muscles how to hit a decent serve. To improve faster, you will need to hit more balls. And one way to do that is to hit against a wall or a ball machine. And you probably need to practice at least 3 times a week; the more the better. I have been playing for 3 and a half years, 5-6 times a week, and I still feel like I have a long way to go. Just relax, have fun, and do your best. Its a great way to get some fresh air, exercise, and participate in a social activity (doubles). Good luck!
