Expert: Ed Hines Date: 8/13/2007 Subject: i want to play...but i dont know anything about tennis
Question i really want to play tennis for my high school,what are some important rules i should know about tennis?
Answer Ashley,
The scope of this question is too broad to answer here. The rules of tennis are over a 100 pages. I suggest you hook up with a pro and take a few lessons. Far more important than the rules is whether you like the sport and can play it. There are many books at the library and at bookstores.
Good luck.
