That's Why They're Pros

Some times we will go out and have an extraordinary day of tennis. All of our shots will be solid. We will be precise and skillfully sound. And for a few hours, we will feel like we could be a pro. There can't be that much to it? You just have to be able to return the ball and hit a powerful shot every now and then. We watch them on TV and think about how we could match their level of play. The pros make it look so easy on TV. In reality, their level of play is way above ours. The speed of their matches are ridiculous and almost every shot is precise and powerful. Sometimes we don't know just how good they are until situations call for the best of their abilities. That is when we see just how amazing they are. That's also when we realize that we really don't have what it takes. This is a video of just a few of the amazing shots professionals have made:



All we can do is marvel in their greatness and hope that we will be half as good as them one day. They truely are professionals at tennis and they have perfected the sport.

  1. Pretty amazing shots...I've had a couple crazy shots before, but nothing like those. Between the legs is risky and one in a million I feel like.
