You are a tennis player with aspirations to be a pro; which weapon would you choose?

For me it will be serve, hands down! Even a mediocre server on tour holds serve for more than 50% (which is probably on an ultra conservative estimate). If I have a lethal serve a la Isner/Karlovic/Ivanisevic, I am guaranteed a spot in top-50 at some point in my career and make enough money to employ my own entourage and keep improving other aspects of my game.

I went with the forehand! It's the stroke that is usable the most in every point in every game. I'd take an elite FH (with average everything else) over an elite serve (with average everything else).

What level is the rest of my game at? My answer would depend on that.

I go for the volley of course. It may be hard for me to get into the points as my service is poor, but the people love my game and I score the most spectatcular points. I will become an Indian tennis legend and gain a couple of national and world-wide recods


Realistically, it is the serve... But it is a boring answer

LOL. Good answer

Went with serve , i play regularly and can play close to 4.0 level however when it comes to serve it’s close to 3.5 or below making it difficult to win some easy points or start the rally in better position ...this is the case specially while playing with guys with 4.0 or above ..:
