I just played tennis with my friend a while ago.I’ve been playing tennis for two weeks now and my friend has played only once.So,i thought it was an even matchup coz we were both beginners…I was totally WRONG!!! He totally creamed me…Three sets…6-0,6-0,6-0 it was unbelievevable!! His serve was so fast i could’t even blink(i’m NOT exaggerating it’s the truth) i thought maybe it was because of the rackets(i was using a control racket while he used a power racket)so we exchanged but he still creamed yet again.Then, i asked another friend of mine Shah who had 2 year’s experience to go up him but he was obliterated as well.With no more options left, i turned to my senior,the no.2 player of my school(the no.1 player, shah’s brother was absent)who’s played for five years and has participated in tournament finals countless times.I thought he was going to win but to my despair he lost too.. straight sets and he only got points when my friend made unforced errors.my senior made a fast serve but my friend easily broke my senior’s serve and fooled him with an amazing backspin drop shot.Even my senior couldn’t touch his serve.Is my friend a genius or something?He has an awesome serve…an amazing backhand..drop shot..forehand and the weirdest thing about it all is he didn’t apply spin to his serve but his serve has a low bounce but awesome speed,he’s only fourteen and it is only his second time playing tennis but he’s played squash before and plays all kinds of sports just like me but he seems to excel faster .Can you guys tell me a way to counter his serve??I could see the ball coming but i couldn’t react and swing my racket fast enough!!Help me please!!!!!!!!!!.
of course i suck,if i didn’t why would i be paying against a beginner like my friend.but do the people who were defeated by my friend,suck?they’ve established themselves as talented players how could they lose to a super beginner?and how can a noob be able to hit that fast!!!!

my friend is about 168 cm in height and i told you he’s fourteen, his thin but his biceps reminds me of Rafael Nadal
Nope’he’s not a liar,he’s my best friend and he does not lie.But he does have the uncanny ability to imitate movements he’s seen on television like Andy Roddick’s serve and Roger’s backhand.He’s played squash at state level before.And you know what?He also learned basketball a few months ago but he can dribble at lightninng speed and shoot accurately as well
He’s got a good serve which goes in 80% because he lacks control.But when it goes in you could barely see it

    sounds to me like you just suck

    sounds to me like your friend just happens to be naturally
    talented when it comes to tennis… i know someone who’s
    only been playing for 2 years now and he’s already playing
    against top tennis players in tournaments and plus he’s
    getting scouted by a bunch of colleges

    but i think ur friend might be naturally good at tennis
    because of his body structure, if your friend is pretty tall
    ( 5′11 or 6′ ), then he already has an advantage since taller
    tennis players are capable of having better serves and
    more powerful shots compared to shorter players when
    they first start off

    the trick to countering his serve is really easy….
    just put ur racket in front of the ball… because of the power
    of ur friend’s serve, the ball will just bounce of ur racket
    and land back on the other side of the court
    ( so basically just dont swing ur racket )

    another helpful hint to beating ur friend is by trying to slice
    the ball a lot and try to keep the ball as low as possible
    when you guys are having a rally…. typically beginners
    have trouble bending their knees when they’re playing,
    so low balls are gonna bug them
    ( especially if they’re really tall )

    good luck in ur next match, hopefully u wont be killed
    as badly if u try keeping this stuff in mind

    How old is he?
    Tell him to turn pro and apply lots of hard work, he can become the next number 1!
    OR
    he lied

    are you kidding me? thats not true at all, hes obviously played tennis before.

    Even if he was the most naturally talented born to be tennis player in the world, theres no way he could have such a good serve and stuff if he didn’t play before.

    Trust me, hes played before. You dont learn tennis like that. You dont just do slice drop shots, nor do you know to put spin at all on the ball. Your friend is definitely a liar.
