A tennis lesson costs less than $10 for a 45 minutes. And, the best part: you never have to pick up any balls because you have a captain doing it for you. In regards to playing ability, the pros are at a very similar level pros at any tennis club in America. The only problem was the pro kept telling me to swing over my shoulder in English. I can assure you that I was swinging over my shoulder the entire time.
I am very optimistic about my tennis game this semester. I'll rack up some experience on clay and get some cheap lessons. Now, I just have to find some players to hit with.
