For me, I like both because my husband plays tennis and my daughter plays badminton. What about you?

I like them both. I'm a lot more coordinated while playing Badminton since it is somewhat of a slower paced game. I can get out with my kids or family and set up the net in the yard and play for the afternoon. Tennis is a lot of fun, but requires a bit more preparation (and a trip to the courts!). They're both wonderful games and a lot of exercise!

Badminton could also be a fast-paced game depending on the intensity that you put into it, and also on what level you are in. With badminton, you do need to have a trip to the courts too..

I really enjoy both of these sports and have played both. I have reached a higher level and played badminton more so from a playing point of view would have to say badminton. From a spectator point of view I like watching tennis more.

I like both of them too. They are both interesting games. I play badminton more often, simply because my friends play badminton more than tennis. In my community, most people play badminton, but not many of them play tennis. I only played tennis for a few times. It's fun too.

I used to play tennis but now I shifted to badminton. I'm actually a badminton addict because I play almost everyday. I prefer it over tennis because it's played indoors (i hate the sun), it burns a lot of calories (like 600 calories per hour), you get to meet a lot of people, and I can play even at night time after a day's work.

I like badminton because i m a badminton player my self. I've won several state level and district level tournaments at a tender age of 12 year.Anyone who is a bit quicker in running can play tennis but in badminton u need to have a good stepping to cover the whole circuit else you'll lose.Running faster is a god gifted thing but stepping is a thing you have to learn yourself.One more thing about Badminton is that its easy to learn but very difficult to play in some tournament n the converse applies to tennis.I play both of them n find pleasure in both but for me badminton is the best.
