Don't think it is as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of controll, and don't kill the ball. Don't be nervous and have fun.

Start slow and try to balance the racket in your palms. Also the golden rule of tennis is to "KEEP YOU EYES ON THE BALL"

It is important to get a good grip on the racquet or you will never control the ball. Just pretend your shaking hand with the racquet and there is a good first grip. Another tip would be to have be patient. You will not always make every shot and you will most likely miss alot but if you are patient and practice you could become a very good tennis player. You shold keep your eye on the ball and you need to have good footwork. Tennis is not a sport where you can just stand still and be great. The pros have really good footwork. Last but not least it does not matter if you win or lose, just have fun!
