I have been experiencing some knee pains recently and I can't figure out what has happened or how to fix it. I haven't fallen oddly but one day I just stood up from being on the ground and a jolt of pain shot through my right knee. Now my knee hurts when I bend it past a ninety degree angle. I don't believe that it is my actual knee that is damaged but a ligament or muscle right above the kneecap itself. The pain is on the upper left corner of my knee...I don't see a fitness trainer until next monday, (week of break from tennis) so if anyone has some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Ice it for now but be sure to seek out some professional help asap.

Sounds like a ACL. Keep it straight as much as possible. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.

It doesn't sound at all like ACL.
*You don't tear your ACL from just standing up.
*OP isn't complaining of any swelling since the incident
*You don't feel the pain on the upper side of the knee. The ACL is in the middle of the joint between the femur and tibia.
*No ACL tear would lead somebody to take just a week off from playing tennis.
