I play 20 or so hours of tennis a week on a hard green (cement) court. I'm 14 years old, and 5'4 inches if that makes a difference. I'll be playing varsity singles or high jv doubles, and need shoes that will last and will keep me from being injured. The pricing option is under $65.
What shoes do you recommend?

well if you think about it a nike courtballistec adidas genius or barricade has a warranty. so if you use the warranty even a full priced shoe will actually be around 60 bucks. if your not willing to part with 120 for "2" shoes then buy a sale shoe of the ones listed already

Great advice. And if the OP is playing that much on a hard surface, he really will get a no hassles 2 for 1 when he sends his worn shoes in. Hopefully TW will be soon be able to offer the super cushiony Asics Gel Resolution II's with a replacement guarantee, as some other sites are doing.

The only other advice is to throw out your shoes insoles. No manufacturer puts in an insole with anything other than a soft foam that quickly compresses down and doesn't provide any cushioning. Try the Superfeet Orange if you have medium to high arches. But even relatively cheap replacement sport insoles will provide more cushioning to let you bounce out of a split step and run all day every day on hard courts.
