13. When someone asks about your partner, you immediately think of your doubles partner.
Someone asks you about your partner and your response is something like, “Good, they’re finally getting their first serve in” or “Not bad, but I hate it when (s)he tries to do a Bryan Brothers chest bump.” It’s okay, as long as you don’t tell your real partner.
12. A bagel means more to you than your breakfast go-to
If you’ve ever said “I bagled ‘em”, and said it with a big smile, you’re sick–in a good, twisted, Dr. Evil kind of way. Nothing brings you more satisfaction than writing “6” by your name and “0” by your opponents.
11. You love the smell of new tennis balls
Admit it. Every time you crack open a new can of tennis balls you take a sneaky, exaggerated whiff.
10. One arm is bigger than the other
In your quest for sexy, defined arms, your hard work has paid off in one arm. Does that finally solve the mystery why your shirts are tight in one arm, and loose in the other?
9. You find yellow ball fuzz everywhere in your house
It’s on your clothes, in your shoes, lining your purse, and woven into your car’s upholstery. You even know what it tastes like.
8. Tan lines are all-too familiar
How many bottles of self tanner have you gone through trying to cover up your shoulder tan lines? Or how many times have you opted for shoes that cover your feet instead of showing off your sock line? Instead of turning orange and donning boots in the summer, wear them as badges of honor.
7. Your tennis bag is ginormous (yes, it’s so big it’s the combination of gigantic and enormous)
Your tennis bag is as big as you are! But it has to be. How else would you fit your rackets, shoes, clothes, grips, strings, first-aid kit – along with a million other things. You may look like you’re going on a week’s vacation, but you’re just really prepared for anything.
6. Your hands have the softness of a catcher’s mitt
Face it. Your hands are rough. They’re covered in callouses at the base of each of your fingers and the butt of your palm. But, hey, it makes you a better player!
5. You love Roger Federer
Have you ever heard someone say they don’t like the legend himself? That would be a first for me (and blasphemous). He’s the ultimate athlete, husband, father, humanitarian; the list goes on. What has he left for the rest of humanity to achieve?
4. Your house is filled with tennis chatskies
If you see something that says “Tennis is My Racket” or “Love Mean Nothing to a Tennis Player” you buy it. Your mantel and/or walls display at least one classic wooden frame. And you have at least one fridge magnet that’s a tennis ball. You get where I’m going with this. You’re obsessed.
3. You’ve broken at least one racket frame in your time
Whether accidental or out of anger (the latter more satisfying), you’ve broken a few frames. Why does something so wrong feel so good?

2. You’ve been known to wear your tennis clothes to the grocery store
Looking good on the tennis court is half the battle. That’s why you buy the newest and cutest tennis fashions and wear them around town. It’s not uncommon on a night out to hear, “I didn’t recognize you without your tennis clothes on”.
1. During the Grand Slams, your sleep patterns change
It doesn’t matter if tennis is being played in Australia, 12+ hours ahead of time, or in Europe, 6+ hours ahead. You will get up at any hour of the night to watch Rafael Nadal live.
Are you obsessed with tennis? Do you want to take the best tennis lesson of your life on a court near you?
Are you looking to improve your tennis game?
What’s great about tennis is that there is always room for improvement.
While lessons can make you better, you need to be careful when selecting your instructor, otherwise you’ll find your game at a standstill listening to the same boilerplate tips that your average professional has to offer.
Finding the right professional can be a difficult process and many people waste a lot of time and money without seeing any improvement in their game until they finally find a pro that’s a good fit.
I created PlayYourCourt six years ago to solve this problem for you.
How did I do it? I setup a rating system just like Amazon or Yelp and if my students had a mediocre experience they wrote about it for all to see.
Fast forward six years, PlayYourCourt is open nationwide and I’ve done all the heavy lifting of vetting out the best pros in the country for you through our rating system. Of the nearly one thousand tennis pros I’ve hired in the last six years I’ve weeded out over 700 duds.
Today I only offer you pros that consistently deliver an amazing experience every time they walk on the court. Patient, encouraging, fun, knowledgeable tennis pros that offer lessons that are far from “normal.”
I am so confident in my instructors that I offer a 100% Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee on all of our lessons, so give us a try risk free.
Enter your zipcode below, answer a few quick questions and we will pair you with the perfect instructor to take your game to the next level.
