It is significant to practice your toss to make sure it is perfect. The toss should be high, but not so high that it is impossible to hit. To figure out what is the best height for the toss, raise your racquet up in the air. Wherever the top of the racquet is, that should be how high your toss should be. Each persons toss should be different because no one is the exact same and everyone is different heights and some peoples arms are longer than others. When you toss the ball in the air, you should always keep that arm up for guidance. That will help you have a better idea of how high the ball was
Tennis serve Introduction to tennis Tennis is a sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.
First, you must have the correct form. To shoot, you must remember that you use one hand not two. The second hand is there to guide the ball to make sure you shoot it straight. So, you will put your dominate hand under the bottom of the basketball and your other hand, the guide hand, on the side of the ball. From there, you must rest the ball on the tips of your fingers so the basketball is not touching the palm of your hand. Lastly,
Lead with your elbow to bring your right hand forward. Contact the ball just above and in front of your head. Solid contact is important; keep your hand stiff and open wide, almost like you are high-fiving the ball, to have a solid hit. IMG_0029.JPG

I first joined my high school’s tennis team when I was a freshman. Although I had little knowledge of the sport due to the district’s lack of a tennis program at the junior high I attended, I still wanted to experience something new. However once tryouts came around, I was one of the unfortunate ones to be cut for no logical reason. The news devastated me and made me feel that I wasn’t good enough to do anything. On the other hand, my friends made the team and encouraged me to try again the following year because they knew I could improve and be great. I took their advice and practiced from days on end the rest of my freshman year to improve and tryout for the team my sophomore year. Through the hard work and determination, I found myself on the team my sophomore year and joining varsity my junior and senior years, which made me feel a lot better about myself.
The tennis seen as typical tennis today wasn’t truly how tennis began. The variation that everyone knows is known as lawn tennis, while the original variation is known as “jue de paume,” which means “game of the hand.” There is not a bit of information that helps prove the actual date of creation for the game, although it is sometime past the year 1000 AD as well as having a high potential of being created in France. Later on, racquets came into play and this beca...
Years of playing the game and not improving, Gawande incidentally finds himself play tennis with a young man who is a tennis couch.

Tennis is a sport that many people love to play. It is not the hardest sport in the world to learn. When playing against someone, it is called a match. Tennis can be played one on one or a doubles match. The main object of the game is to hit the ball over the net, inside of the lines so that the opponent can't get to it. There are two lines about two feet parallel to each other that outline the court. In a singles match, the inner line is the out of bound line, while the outer line is out of bounds in a doubles match. If you want to play, take a look at my two favorite tennis players because they are masters at serving and scoring, a few key aspects of the game.

Tennis is an outdoor game played by two individuals or pairs of players on a clay or grass court that’s divided by a low net. Each game is played with tennis rackets and small, yellow elastic balls. Tennis was first introduced in Wales and the United Kingdom in 1873 by “Major Walter Wingfield” (tennistheme.com).
