What are the basic skills of tennis?

Answer 1

You would need hand eye coordination and endurance. A deliberate and well-thought approach is essential to learn tennis. Proper serve and volley grip, ready position, serve and service return may considerably save your efforts, time and even health in the future.

Also concentration, balance and footwork coordination are very important skills.

Answer 2

You need to be able to hit the ball well, and keep it low over the net. Also, you need to learn to hit the ball accurately and hard at the same time.

Putting spin on the ball is quite hard with those small bats/racquets but if you can do it you are amazing!

Answer 3

I have been playing tennis for 7 years. I played all 4 years of high school and took tennis classes at my local college. The basic skills I first learned back in my first years of learning tennis were the correct ready position, learning the groundstrokes (forehand and backhand), working the net (volleys and overheads). Serving is a very important skill to get down. If you can't get the serve down well, you will lose a lot of game points. Also the placement of balls (cross-court and down the line shots) and moving around the court in a timely manner.

Answer 4

The basic skills are excellent hand eye coordination along with footwork. This is not easy to do immediately as many quit after a few months of beginning similar to Golf. It may be easier if you truly love the sport and watch professionals at a major tournament in action vs. just people in the park.
