What Kind of Tennis Player Are You? Real or Recreational?

Answer the following questions and find out what kind of player persona fits you!

1. Do you ever bring more than one tennis racquet to an informal game? Do you bring them in a bag that could double as check-on luggage?

2. Do you own a Wimbledon towel that you got when you played at the Junior Championships in England?

3. Can you serve the ball over 50 mph without it sailing fifty feet over the fence?

4. Is your second serve more than a light tap over the net just to get it into the box to avoid a double fault?

5. Can you hit a drop shot?

6. Do you open a new can of balls halfway through an informal match to ensure you don't play will balls that have become slightly flat?

7. Do you return home with all of the balls with which you started?

8. Can you play a match while others are playing on an adjacent court without interrupting the other players' game at least ten times to retrieve a ball from an errant hit?

9. Does your racquet have an actual grip instead of worn-down duct tape?

10. Did you take Pete Sampras to five sets in the French Open?

If you answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, you are a legitimate tennis player. As my dad puts it, you're either good or you're not, there's very little in between in tennis. If you answered "no" to all of these questions, join the rest of us in a world where we play for fun and still have a great time.
