WHY ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GO PRO 📉 #Tennis

[MyChevySonic]

It's mostly the cost. A lot of travel costs, equipment, lodging, traveling coach and physio, etc. This is why only pros with endorsements make a lot of money.

I've learned there is no need to smash an overhead as hard as you can. The ball has plenty of energy in it, and placement is much more important than pace. Since you are already close to the net you have amazing angles to choose from, so don't get paralyzed by indecision, Just pick an angle your opponent is unlikely to reach and calmy direct the ball there. It's all about percentages and angles at higher levels of play.

Only about top 50 ATP players actually consistently make money. 50 -100 rankings barely scrape by. 100+ is constantly in red numbers. It's wealth pre-selection. If 95% of people can't afford it you don't need to compete with them.

the body structure is important
height 180-190 80kg strong playing arm muscles on the back
the perfect training for legs can be basketball

Every shot he hit is top spin. It's not surprise he missed the smash at the end.

Becoming a professional tennis player has a lot to do with natural athletic ability, athletic strength, athletic stamina, flexibility, body type, even height. Most of the top tennis players are either outstanding athletes first and foremost, and second, tennis players, or, they are extraordinary tennis players and second, athletes who have to put in a lot of extra training. The athleticism of most of the top tier tennis players is really next level when compared to the amateur levels.

The bounce smash in tennis is probably the hardest shot. Very few players, even at the very top, play it well. Martina Navratilova said that very few top players practice it and that's why even the best can make a mess of it. It's so easy to get wrong. You don't know how the ball is going to bounce and it's easy to get too close to the ball, too far away, or too far underneath it. The player with the best bounce smash I ever saw, man or woman, was Monica Seles. She had an unorthodox, square on to the net technique, with a grip you wouldn't normally use for an overhead.

It's a tough sport. You need to get your body in top condition. Money is a huge block for a lot of people, and you normally need a ton of it. Andre Agassi once said "If you could get the tennis racket into the inner city kids hands, then they might make me look like a club player." The point is it's nearly impossible to get the racket in their hands.

Bruh even if you had 10x more talent being a 5'1 king is hard for that sport

[lenwelch]

Tennis is a mental game. Your mental choices at end of a long point can’t be influenced by how you feel- anxious, tired, impatient. It takes discipline and yrs of practice to develop these traits. Think of Evert- finest tennis mind ever. She never dumped ball in the net at 5-5 30-30 in third set. She always played the right shot at appropriate time - she may have hadvexecution errors but not bad choices in selection of shots .

It's genetics too.. You need to be 6ft+ to be successful in modern era

[Michael-Boyer]

Did nobody notice the high net? Much harder sport when the net’s 39-40 inches straight across.

Have your kid ski and play frisbee/baseball. Wrist plus knee mobility is the key to unlocking the secrets of tennis.

I like the way you play the baseline in this point. Mid court and net play needs improvement. If you hit that midcourt ball well enough (or even hit a dropshot odds are you won’t get much reply). Also need to develop an instinct to come to the net to finish—you take a reeeeally long time getting up there for that overhead, and it lands well inside the service box. Don’t be afraid to get aggressive with a pusher—get out there and do it! Let them be afraid of YOU.

Guy hits 8 forehands from baseline, one from service line. The last shot is an overhead. In Tennis its easy to look good when hitting your best shots. Pros Works lots on their weakneses and rare, but important shots.

[CapAnson]

I joined a tennis club in my early 20s and got pretty darn good, or so I thought, but I kept getting crushed by these 40-50 year old players who had played their entire lives and I was crushing serves, had crazy topspin, etc.. and they'd just stay rooted in one spot, just lazily popping the ball back over to my side until I eventually made an error. It was like playing against a brick wall. I decided going Pro was just not in the cards for me.

[Judaka]

There's virtually no player in the elite level who did not start training from a very early age. The statistics on it are unbelievable really. One doesn't choose to be a tennis pro, you have to be bred for it.

[izgler]

A mom who is willing to do anything for her kid helps.

[astrahcat]

He's gotta when he steps forward, FLATTEN that forehand shot for a winner, if you hit too much top spin you can't hit a winner there

[andrewmaresca]

These guys are having great fun at little expense, who needs to go pro?
