Can I Become A Pro Starting At 14 Years Old?
My question is i am 14 years old and i want to be a pro tennis player.
i started playing when i was 14 and if i tried hard can i be a pro tennis player?
Thank you for your time sir!
The answer to your question mostly depends on your previous experience with sports.
If you have been involved in sports like soccer, basketball, table tennis and similar sports with balls for many years (at least 5), then yes, you still have a good chance to become a pro.
Although since you come from USA there will be fierce competition.
14 year old boys can already play exceptionally well and have lots and lots of experience in tennis matches.
Many of them started when they were 6 or 7 years old and started playing tournaments when they were 8 or 9.
They will have 5 year advantage of tennis skills and experience with tennis matches and will be very difficult to catch up.
If you feel that you like tennis, go for it and don’t become too narrow minded about being a pro or not playing tennis at all.
You can in time become a tennis coach, sparring partner of top players, organizer of a professional tennis tournament, have your own tennis shop or even your own website where you will share your tennis knowledge and enjoy what you do.
