Join a local tennis club and play as often as you can.\n\nFirst take some lessons so you learn the proper way before you develop any bad habits in your game.\n\nIf you are playing against good players and you become good your talent will show.\n\nIf you are young enough and your parents have a lot of money you can go to some good tennis schools where they have top notch coaches.\n\nIt's not easy to get to the top but even if you don't you can still become a decent player and play for the fun of it most of your life and that will be good for your health.

First of all, do you have any idea how early professional players begin playing?  I understand that if you practice enough, being very, very, very involved in tennis, you could do quite well.  It's very surprising that you could only play one year (and one month) and make your college team.  I guess if you really know you have a chance, you should just make it the biggest part of your life, and go for it!

80 is low. But you can improve going to an Academy to study and play tennis there, there are some that have school in the afternoon and Tennis practice all morning. Nick Bolletieri in Brandenton Florida is one of the best, maybe they have some scholarship program for juniors. See another Academies near were your live too. This academies take you to tours around the world, to play in small tournaments, in order to improve your game and experience. To train to be a pro is not only a matter of ability but a matter of hard work and money.

I have been around tennis professionals for quite some time.  I have worked with professionals, I have traveled with professionals, I have given advice to professionals.  At that level of tennis the players are unbelievably talented, I can say without question that it is as close to impossible as you can get.  The odds would be like winning the Super lottery on back to back draws.  That is considering you started with a world class athlete to begin with, and had a team of the best coaches in the world working with him or her 8 hours a day every day.  It would be the same as asking if someone could win a major PGA grandslam event after playing golf for only two years.  For all practical purposes it is impossible, and anyone that says otherwise does not understand the skill level at the professional level.  Anyone that has worked with professionals, i am sure will tell you exactly the same thing.

Are you asking where would the top women players fit in the men's ranks? I'll assume that's the question, but please clarify if that is not the case.\nFirst, I am glad that Billie Jean King had the sense to avoid this comparison, and to establish the women's tour as a phenomenon that stands on its own merits. I love women's tennis, and don't care if they are able to compete effectively against the men.\nHaving said that, there is ample evidence that the top women would not be able to compete successfully against the men's pros. Billie Jean King beat a 55-year-old man (who previously beat another top woman, Margaret Smith). There just is too much difference in speed of foot and spin and pace of the ball. The top women players of today would almost certainly be unsuccessful in the men's tour, whether the main events or satellites. \nMale players often play practice matches against top women, and I think you will find that even good college players will beat all or nearly all of the women.\nThis is not to diminish in any way the quality of women's tennis, which is tremendous. I just know that to date the top women would not be close to being competitive against male pros.

You can see the pros practice at any tournament. There always are practice courts set aside for them, and nearly any time of day you can watch. For example, at a recent women's tournament in Indian Wells, you could have watched Maria Sharapova working out from a distance of 8 feet or so.The early days of tournaments are usually best for being able to watch players close up, and fortunately that's when it costs the least to attend.\nColleges have regularly scheduled practice times, and no one is likely to be bothered by you if you want to observe.\nAny tennis club also has pro courts where instructors give lessons, and usually you can watch.   This is where you often can see young future stars as they are developing. \nPersonally, I generally enjoy watching practice sessions much more than matches. You certainly can get a feel for the kind of work that goes into the building of a tennis player by watching them practice.

yes atleast in India. Her killer qualities & a zooming forehand are a threat. She's beaten some top players. Her Hyderabad title has inspired more girls to hit the ball at age of six. Tennis is not now far behind to become as popular as cricket.

Well one thing i have learned in my years of tennis is that..... even if you practice 4-6 hours a day you may not improve, its the quality of practice you have.  I would recomend only practing half that much but raise you intensity level to that of a tournament match.  Also i would recomend spending more time with conditioning alternate days of sprinting and distance, also you are about the age to hit the gym and start doing weights.  Over the years this has helped me improve the fastest as a tennis player.\n\nHope this helped, Good Luck!

Right now there is no best woman tennis plyer. If you have to go for one then it is Maria Sharapova. If Serena Williams is heathly enough then she would be the best.

I've been playing tennis for 6 years, so i think i can help. Now with your aim, just watch the ball at all times and make sure you step into the ball. Keep your racket straight and hold on tight as you swing through over your shoulder. Lifting weights doesn't have any part in tennis. To swing hard, you need strength in your wrists, not so much in your arms. So just keep practicing. To make the ball go further, be positive you have your form right. Then one of the most important is to remember to swing all the way through. Yes, all the way to your opposite shoulder. This will make the ball go way further. Much of this you achieve with practice though. So good luck with it all! *Val*

Here are some suggestions that should work, depending on what is available to you in your area.\nFirst, find out the most popular club and public facilities in your city. If you can afford a club, I'd recommend that you join and ask the manager or pro to suggest some matches.\nOr, if you prefer the public facilities, hang around practicing your serve or hitting against a backboard, and usually someone will ask you to play.\nBetter, sign up for group lessons at a club or public courts. You will meet others at similar levels, and they often are looking for practice partners.\nIf you are already a decent player, sign up for local tournaments or, even better, for USTA leagues if they are available.\nGood luck.

The WNBA Draft is very important because all of the top collegiate and international players are a part of the draft list. Also, teams do have the opportunity to conduct their own local try-out camps and could sign eligible players from their camp. \n\nIn order for you to get exposure you need to send the national office and individual teams current video tape of you playing in a organized game and also your resume.
