Here are reasons why I believe tennis is the most difficult and best sport:
1. You depend on yourself. If you put forth more work, your results will improve.
2. It blends power, precision, timing, accuracy, and touch.
3. Conditions can be brutal, especially playing in the heat for hours.
4. Sprinting, starting and stopping all on concrete is tough on your feet.
5. You can take your frustration out on the ball without harming another human being.
6. Players shake hands after a match.
7. It is a life-long sport. Suitable for all ages and genders.
8. There are different levels of players.
9. Must maintain focus, slack and you will struggle. No teammates to support you.
10. Repetition of tennis is similar to meditation, especially rallying.
11. Requires quick thinking and decision making.
12. Teaches you math.
13. You have to manipulate a racquet.
14. Its like gigantic ping-pong, twice as fun, twice as hard, and twice length in shorts.
15. You only get 3 balls per can for almost 2 dollars
16. You build good looking muscles that are always exposed -- calves and forearms.
17. Can be played indoors and outdoors
18. Tennis tests your commitment, requires years of training.
19. Its a polite sport
20. Even old people can beat you
21. Teaches you to not dwell on the past.
Please add to this list and maybe share some disadvantages of the sport.
