Firstly I'd like to say I know there are many threads on this specific subject, Sorry if there's any inconvenience. I just want to know where I stand.
Recently I took up Tennis Lessons.. Around 3 weeks ago starting tommorow. I played a Round Robin today since my Head pro told me to do it to gauge my own level, I've played Table Tennis in the USATT and am ranked pretty decently. So I've been getting the hang of Tennis pretty fast. When I played in the Round Robin, I won 1 game off everyone I played except one person I won two games off of, There were a few deuces (It was a no adv game). Most of these players are Singles Varsity/Junior Varsity from my talk with them. I came in last place as I expected, But had a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1
My School's Tennis Team isn't all that great. Out of our county, We mainly always come last place. If not 2nd or third to last. I'm not sure if there's a no-cut policy, There probably is. But I'm trying to make Varsity as a goal. There are really no "good" players except Singles 1. I'm doing a winter training session for 11 weeks till Feb. Then a Varsity Tune-Up at my athletic club. This will give me a good 13 more weeks of practice.
With 13 weeks left, Is it possible for me to make Varsity, Taking lessons and going to the training session. At my current level I'm doing alright from what I'd say. My service really killed my whole Round Robin experience. Probably 5% of ALL my serves went in, Other than that, My forehand and backhand are good, A varsity player there commented on how my forehand is basically Topspin and not flat like most other people play.
