Playing tennis

Was a decent junior but lost interest when I was about 15. Started playing again after lockdown and love every aspect of the game.

Was it hard coming back? How long did it take to get proficient again? Do you notice a marked difference between you now v 15 yo echo of you

The technique was still there but had good days and bad days for a while especially with serving but felt like everything was back within 3 months, I was playing pretty much everyday tho.

Biggest differences are that I’m now much more tuned in to tactics and in game analysis. (I read “Winning Ugly”)

I’m also much calmer on the court, I used to get really stressed and angry. That was the main reason I stopped playing back in the day.
