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.

That's a very lofty goal and I doubt anyone here can actually do anything to help you acheive it. However, I can point you in the direction you need to go.\n\nLike any pro sport, the key is getting scouted and the only way to do that is to play. If you're in school still join the school team, try to get into an after school team as well or even an off season team. Traveling teams are usually best, but any team that gets you more play time is good and traveling teams are usually more expensive and difficult to find.\n\nOnce in university try out for the team there. Devote enough time to the game to be a starter, no one scouts bench players. Don't throw everything into the sport though, keep your grades up or they'll drop you from the team and from the school all together.\n\nIf you're any good you should be scouted out of university, but if you don't get invited to play for a team don't dispair, find out when teams have tryouts and go to them. Continue going even if you don't get an invite. Try every team you can, not just the one or two that are closest. You're going to have to invest some time and money into attending these tryouts so make sure you have someone supporting you or have some savings ready. \n\nGood luck.

The Perfect Tennis Player would play in and win every tournament they entered. They would have to be good on clay, hardcourt, and grass. Oh yeah, there is no such thing as a perfect tennis player.\n\nTechnically two surfaces can make a great player. Sampras was great on grass and hardcourt, but was horrific on clay. The best type of tennis player is an all around tennis player like Roger Federer. That is why he is so superior to guys like Andy Roddick, who can only contend on hardcourt and grass.

Get active in all sports you can in school so that you understand how it is played and have the experience, too.\nBe really good with math, because you will have to be good with statistics, averages, and stuff like that.\nBe really good in writing, so that you can communicate with people when you put your thoughts to pen.\nKnow some of your history, as history plays a part in how different sports came to be, and how they change through the years.\nSubscribe to newspapers or magazines that have good feature writers, to study their technique.\nVolunteer to help with your local paper, to help proof stories, to do some of the photography, to interview people.\nTake Speech class, so that when you stand before people at sports presentations, you have confidence, and your voice and body language will be good.\nFind some people who are willing to let you tag along and learn beside them.\nWork for the best grades in school, so that you will qualify for scholarships to colleges or universities that have programs or degrees that will help you land a good job when you graduate.\nYou will need a bachelors (4 yr) degree minimum, but do shoot for a masters.  You will get the better jobs, better interviews, have a more comfortable living.\n\nGood luck to you.  Remember to be truthful, honest and fair when you do this career.  You don't want to loose your integrity or credibility.

Tennis is a GREAT sport! I love playing. I love the fact that you can be at any level and still really have a great time. When I played high school tennis, we had several players who were able to make the team without prior experience. We also had players who had never played before who made the JV and freshman teams. Is that an option for you?\n\nIf you really want to make the team, this is what I suggest: find a place that offers lessons in your area--this could be a local club or a your city's park and rec department--and spend a few months getting the basics down. Also, find someone to hit with regularly. Growing up, my best friend was a guy who I hit with every day after school. We were able to progress as players because we spent so much time on the court. If you're able to find someone to hit with and spend a lot of time on the court before try-outs next spring, then you'll find that you're more than likely in a good position to make the team. \n\nAnyway, I'll give you a link to help you track down places to play, to learn the game, and to find players to hit with. I hope that helps. Good luck!

you can be a proffesional at any time, depending on the people your around i suppose, if you wanna turn pro you need to have contacts of promoters to get you in the ring with other proffesionals. if you have contacts you can be a pro in no time.\n\nprofesional boxing is more to do with the entertaining and advertising side of boxing, however amature boxing is more to do with the fun of the sport (and also you wont get hurt as much)\n\ni'd advise you to get to know a lot of contacts, did you talk to any of your trainers about the pro game? i'm sure they'll get some promoters looking for a good boxer, the boxing commision are desparate for a good flyweight boxer\n\ngood question, i wud've asked it myself. good luck anyway hope i see you on tv some time:)

First of all, you have to apply to whichever tennis brand companies you want to be sponsored by. Then after that they'll review it then see if you meet their critieria. If so then they'll let you know in the mail or whatever kind of media they choose. Most of the time, you  just march right in their and say "BeeP!" I'm a freaking good tennis player so give me a sponsor so I can endorse your company! hahaha. Just stick to applying. It's like a tax break or something for them.

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!

Keep practicing and playing as much as you can.\n\nGet in a gym by yourself and shoot from all areas of the court within your range.\n\nWork on your release and use proper form.\n\nConcentrate on every shot from each different angle and spot you are shooting from.\n\nIn a game try to realx and shoot the same way as you do in practice even though there will probably be someone running at you or getting a hand up to bother you.\n\nIn baseball get out on the diamond and have a pitcher or pitchers thow some balls in to you and again concentrate on using good form and technique when swinging the bat.\n\nYou also have to have a good eye and know what pitches to swing at.\n\nYou can't expect to hit pitches that are out of the strike zone with any consistency.\n\nIf you practice and play a lot you will become as good as you possibly can and you should become a fairly good player and be able to enjoy the game.\n\nMost of us will never become pros and remember you have to have a certain amount of natural athletic ability to begin with.\n\nSome people do and some don't so don't feel bad if you are not that great but also just enjoy being the best player you can possibly be if you are on a team at any level.

Get yourself a ranking/rating within your country and play tournaments. As you work your way up the rankings, you will get the opportunity to participate in bigger tournaments and eventually, as soon as you have at least one ATP or WTA point (obviously depending on whether you're a guy or gal), you will then officially have turned professional and can continue climbing up the world rankings in internationally sanctioned tournaments anywhere.

Forget about which racquet is the highest rated. The racquet is nothing. Proper technique is everything.\n\nGet a dozen demo racquets and play-test them. Buy the one that works best for you. Spend whatever money is left over on tennis lessons (private lessons are STRONGLY preferred). \n\nIf you can't afford private lessons, buy several instructional books and/or video tapes. This is surely the fastest way to improve.\n\nThe magic is not in the racquet.

go to www.tennis.com where you can subscribe for tennis magazines that gives you advices for that or you can go to www.atptennis.com or www.usta.com\n. I would suggest the first and the third choices are 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*

Yes, I do. You don't have to play something your entire life to be good at it. I know someone who started playing tennis when they were 10 and they're the best tennis player I know. They went to state, and they're only 16 years old. They've only been playing for six years and they're good enough to go to state, so if you play for 15 years, who knows what you could do... Just stick with it, and if you really love tennis, you'll be willing to put all the hard work that's needed into it. \n\nBest of luck!\nSarah ^_^
