What percent of US athletes are tennis players?
88859
I can't answer your question directly, but I can provide you with another interesting bit of information.\n\nThe USTA (United States Tennis Association) has stated in the past that 5 per cent of the US population plays tennis regularly, meaning at least once a week. I feel this figure is both outdated and greatly exaggerated, and is likely to be more in the order of 1 per cent.\n\nSince it's impossible to determine the per cent of the US population that are athletes, it's likewise impossible to answer your question.

i play varsity tennis at school; the main thing i do in the first set is to get the ball in, even if it means taking some power off your shots; like your problem, you don't want to get behind, so think accuracy, not power

The relative popularity of sports is often measured in terms of how many people watch the game or are fans of it, not how many Americans play the various sports.\n\nThrough most of the 20th century, the big four have been considered baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. They were usually in that order, but there are many regional and local differences across the US. There are football schools, basketball states, hockey towns, etc. Baseball was called the national pastime. \n\nSoccer has become increasingly popular in the US. It is, by far, the most popular sport played (and watched) around the world. For Americans in the 1980s and 1990s it was considered something young kids played. But more and more older children and adults are playing the game. \n\nGolf, bowling and tennis are very popular. \n\nOne of the biggest movers in 2005 was Ki-o-Rahi. This sport originates from New Zealand. It is a fast and exciting full contact ball sport which is played on a large circular pitch. Recently our National Curriculum Directors introduced it into over 30,000 schools. It is like no other sport in the world for its mental and physical requirements.It requires great co-ordination, physical conditioning and quick intelligence.

I don't know if I believe 12%. Maybe only 12% of the players who left early went back to get their degree.\n\nI'd say 50-60%, including the veterans who did stay for all 4 years.

Based on Sophia's Wikipedia link above, her 45% number is way off...according to the link "the sport is regularly enjoyed by over 26 million Americans and many more world-wide".  So, based off of a US population of +/-300 million people, it's less than 10%, which has been my experience in the golf business.

Yes.  There are leagues, tournaments, a number of things for this age group.  Go to usta.com and just look around.  I would also contact a local tennis facility...athletic club w/tennis or whatever...and just ask to speak to someone about it.  You'll be able to get lots of answers that way and it will be in your area.  I would even call several different places.  You may also have a local tennis association.  Try checking with them.  They can be very instrumental in getting you setup and involved and placed where you need to be.

Doctors first identified Tennis Elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) more than 100 years ago. Today nearly half of all tennis players will suffer from this disorder at some point. Interestingly though, tennis players actually account for less than 5 percent of all reported cases making the term for this condition something of a misnomer.\n\n\nhope this helps. the link has photos too!!!

The Numeric level in tennis is a rating system given out by the USTA (United States Tennis Association) to signify (rate) a players ability level.  Its a guideline so others will have some idea of how good you are.  Most Recreational players around the US are in the 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 rating level.  Players in the 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 level have several years of experience and usually play or train often which is required to maintain that level of play.  Anyone above a 5.5 level is referred to as Open Class.  To be technical a touring professional has a 7.0 Usta rating level.  There are guidelines for each rating level and they can be found on www.usta.com

Stupid question - tennis

At the French Open, Americans tend to lose because they play on clay courts instead of hard courts.  Americans are more used to playing on hard courts then on clay, but that's still no excuse.  I guess us Americans just aren't as good at tennis like other countries.

I don't know any percentages either but I am a baseball fan and my husband is not. We know alot of couples and the man is usually a fan and watcher and the woman isn't even interested so I would say it's probably close to 65% men and 35% women.
