yes… i can be a pro at 21

Answer by gaz
It is much tougher starting at that age but it certainly has been done before. It is obviously much more appealing to coaches and talent scouts to see a talented 14 year old rather than a 21 year old. But who cares, if you want it bad enough, are good enough and have a little bit of luck then who knows?

If you are good enough, sure, why not ?

Dude!,
Ofcourse you can become a pro even if you start playing at 21. A few thing to be carefull about:
1) Find a good coach who is willing to work hard with a 21 year old who’s just started playing.
2) Its takes a good 8-10 years to become a pro, so dont expect any results first up.
3) You arn’t gonna pick up the game as fast as a 13 or 14 year old kid!….so you gotta be patient!
4) Its a LOT OF HARD WORK, so you better be ready for it!

These people are in a fantasy land. You can become a Tennis Pro. Meaning that your rating is 5.0 or above, that could take a few years of some serious tennis playing. But to become a pro tennis player, like the guys you see on TV? impossible, these players have been playing their whole iives, and 21 is way too late for any of those ambitions, for example, raffy is only 20 right now, and will have another ten years of his prime.
