Hi guys, Hello there everyone, Tennis is a sport that entails a player to hit a ball whit a netted racket and bring it back to the court of the opponent within the boundaries of the court. And by doing this i think that the athleticism of a tennis player cannot be questioned, they are one of the most athletic players or sports person in the world of sports.

Most people don't realize how much it takes to be a good tennis player. All athletic skills are used throughout a match. It is also important to note how much of the game is mental. The mental stamina it takes to be out there for hours with no coach to help you or tell you what to do. A tennis player must be able to solve problems on their own.

@ruthy40t does honesty and intergrity play a part? Does a person's character. Should you not be able to trust your partner?

Not only tennis but also badminton, volley, basket ball, soccer and many more are the sports that require excellent physical endurance. The basket ball players are the strongest ones, because they never stops moving.

I love this sports as well and play on every weekends as much as possible. If we look at the top ten tennis players, we can see that they all look really fit. We can mention a few like Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Murray, etc. In tennis, you really have to get all the ball and if your opponent is good you will find yourself running from corner to corner and sprinting to save every ball you can. Another sports that I can mention is sprinting. If you look at their built, they have some of the most fit body compared to all sports, and it's because sprinting burns a lot more energy than most types of exercises.

Hey there Kai and Better days, Ain't tennis great and really you get to have all the strength in your legs feet bum and core to push you to catch the ball and upper body strength plus your arms to hit the ball back to the other court and it is also intense emotionally right. And yeah sprinting is really a great workout i mean you push your body to go fast so quickly and with tremendous strength that you will really burn a lot that way. Thanks for this guys.
