The 10,000 hour rule

Research has shown that it takes around 10 years and 10,000 hours to reach an elite level in sport. Those hours are made up of sport-specific training, physical training and other sports (in earlier years). This means that this comes to about three hours a day over 10 years! There is no doubt a huge time commitment is necessary to reach elite levels; it is important to bear in mind, however, that the 10,000 hours are weighted heavily in the latter stages of that 10-year period when the athlete will be training full time - often for over six hours a day.

What is the world record for playing tennis non-stop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Apparently the longest competitive tennis match lasting 25 hr 25 min was played between Christian Albrecht Barschel and Hauke Daene (both Germany) on 12-13 September 2003 at Mölln Tennis Club, Mölln, Germany, as of 2003. There are a few claims to the world record for non-stop tennis play (refer to the links, below): - In 1989, a sleep deprivation test claims that a world record continuous marathon tennis play lasted 147 hours and 20 minutes. - In 2005, an Irish men's double's team took on all other teams for 36 hours. - In 2008, the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest tennis rally at 25,944 strokes of the ball by two players for 15 hours.

(n.b., none of the articles listed, above, indicates whether play stopped for food, drink, clothing changes, bathroom breaks, etc.)

How can tennis can help your body?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To me it isn't important.

To the average person it means nothing.

To the average player it provides a modicum of physical exercise and probably helps with their fitness.

To the parents of children forced to train regularly to ensure a financial return in the future it's importance is blown out of proportion at the expense of their offspring's childhood.

To the financial backers of professional tennis competitions it is super important, as they are able to sell advertising and broadcast rights for vast sums of money.

To the professional players who have trained all their lives to make it to the top of the tennis world, I'm sure it is very important.

But on the grand scheme of things, that we are but a speck on the dot of a tiny planet in an unimaginably vast cosmos, it mean very little.

Can tennis server call his own serve out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In professional tennis, there are line judges for that.

In non-professional tennis, however, a server can call his or her own serve out. Most do not because it is a point against them, even though the opponent thought the serve was in.
