1. Aerobic fitness by burning fat and improving your cardiovascular fitness and maintaining higher energy levels (n.b., true "aerobic" exercise may only be achieved by forcing the heart and lungs to work continuously for at least 15 minutes, which, for tennis, rarely occurs during match play, and is typically only achieved during strenuous, continuous, and repetitive hitting exercises).

2. Anaerobic fitness by offering short, intense bursts of activity during a point followed by rest which helps muscles use oxygen efficiently.

3. Ability to accelerate by practice in sprinting, jumping and lunging to move quickly.

4. Speed through a series of side-to-side and up and back sprints to chase the ball.

5. Leg strength through hundreds of starts and stops which build stronger leg muscles.

6. General body coordination since you have to move into position and then adjust your upper body and feet, and transfer body weight to hit the ball successfully.

7. Gross motor control through court movement and ball-striking skills which require control of your large muscle groups.

8. Agility by forcing you to change direction as many as 5 times in 10 seconds during a typical tennis point.

9. Bone strength and density by strengthening bones of young players and helping prevent osteoporosis in older ones.

10. Immune system through its conditioning effects which promote overall health, fitness and resistance to disease.

11. Eye-hand coordination because you constantly judge the timing between the on-coming ball and the proper contact point.

1. Develop discipline -as you have to practice regularly

2. Accommodate stress effectively because the physical, mental and emotional stress of tennis will force you to increase you capacity for dealing with stress.

3. Learn how to recover by adapting to the stress of a point and the recovery period between points which is similar to the stress and recovery cycles in life.

4. Plan and implement strategies since you naturally learn how to anticipate an opponent's moves and plan your countermoves.

5. Learn sportsmanship since tennis teaches you to compete fairly with opponents.

6. Learn to win graciously and lose with honor. Gloating after a win or making excuses after a loss doesn't work in tennis or in life.

7. Learn teamwork since successful doubles play depends on you and your partner's ability to communicate and play as a cohesive unit.

8. Develop social skills through interaction and communication before a match, while changing sides of the court and after play.

9. Have FUN… because the healthy feelings of enjoyment, competitiveness and physical challenge are inherent in the sport.
