What are the steps to becoming a pro Tennis Player?

[Otters27]

Tennis lessons at a very early age to start, tennis camps then after, go to the best schools for tennis.. Tennis leagues, then live and breathe tennis daily..

Make sure you got to a very good Tennis based High school like we have here in Los Angeles, California... Become the #1 tennis player at your high school, get a scholarship to a good tennis College like UCLA after that.. Dominate and go Pro then after..

That's what I would have done if I could have a do over.. I went for Volleyball and Basketball also and it was to much to master them all. Just ended up being really good at all 3 sports but a master of none... I never focused on just one sport in other words growing up.. Big mistake...

Just sharing my potential pro life story.. .. I had the physical gifts...

Makes sense Jib. I was a 3 sport high school athlete as well. Wish I played tennis actually

if you have a female build up speed and endurance to be able to run all day build up stamina while teaching tennis consistency and keeping balls in without committing errors look at wozniacki just gets everything back not much power

What 3 sports? Mine were Tennis, Volleyball and Basketball.. I was best in that order.. Really good tennis player in high school.. Beach volleyball I dominated also...

In my early 30's I got into boxing and grappling.. Jacked my neck trying the Jits.. Gave that up after a couple of years.. Stuck to boxing though until I started to roll my wrists hitting the heavy bag.. Busted a knuckle too..

Gave up combat sports after that.. Haven't hit a heavy bag, sparred or grappled since.. I figured I wanted to preserve my body and not trash it...

That's my story..

That's an cool 3 sport combo. I played baseball, cross country and basketball. Only lettered in basketball once and mostly sat the bench. Wish I would have played tennis but my friend bet me one day that I could not run 2 miles in under 12 minutes in a pair of Deon Sanders shoes. Well we went out to the track and I ran in 11:57. He was pissed. Cross country coach found out and said they needed a 5th runner. Unfortunately I cross country is same season as high school tennis

Yup.. Hardest thing I ever did in my life athletically was to complete the LA City Marathon.. That destroyed me.. I was running 10 miles a day leading up and I thought I was in marathon shape at age 26.. I was dead wrong.. Miles 20-26 were a living hell and I almost quit and called for a cab, I would have if I didn't have friend push me on and stick with me..... Everything hurt and was giving out on me in that last mile.. Was a sloppy zombie trying to run crossing the finish line..



I never played baseball like you... Stick ball as kid in grade school and that was it... ..

wozniacki ran the ny marathon in 3 hrs 26 minutes, pretty impressive doubt most men can do that.

Good for Wozniacki.. Marathons suck... I think I finished a little over 4 hours myself.. Never again...
