Whether you love playing for your local tennis club, or just like going to watch the AEGON Open Nottingham. Tennis is a sport for everyone and is universally loved across the world. Below are ten reasons why all of us love it!
1. It’s great for fitness…

There are few better feelings than hitting a clean backhand or forehand. The more you play the better you get, which can improve your confidence and make you feel better about yourself.

Whether it’s singles or doubles, it’s great to watch a stunning winner or a majestic rally. Most people who play tennis, were inspired by watching there favorite player growing up and you can understand why!

When you regularly play tennis, you can feel like your part of a community. It’s a great way to get to know people and make friends with those who also love tennis.

If you’ve had a stressful day, then one of the best ways to relax is to simply play tennis! It’s a great way to take your mind off things and to get rid of any frustrations that you may have.
6. It’s never over until the last point…
There are few sports where you are on the edge of defeat, but can still come through and win. Whether it’s an epic comeback from being two sets to love down, until the umpire says game set and match anything can still happen.
7. It’s International…
Any continent, any country across the world will have some sort of tennis tournament. Whether it’s professional or amateur, anywhere in the world you go there will be some sort of tennis being played.

9. It creates debate…
Many will debate who the greatest player of all time is or if the umpire made the right decision to give a point penalty. All these things create debate and can keep you talking for hours and even days.
10. The sportsmanship…
Sometimes tennis is more than just trying to win. It could be acknowledging a great piece of skill or checking if your opponent is okay after a fall. The sportsmanship shown in tennis reminds us that it’s not always just about winning.
