Tennis Futures Tour
Im currently 15 and i love tennis is it possible for me to be a sucseful pro on the challengers tour at least?
i want to be come pro and play at least on the challengers tour i just started playing when i was 14 just to make my high school team, i lost a lot of matches but toward the end of the season after learning a few things i was able to be ranked third in my confrence(and we arnt the best confrence), but i won all confrence player of the year, i think mostly because of my determination to keep fighting. this year im hopfily gona join the usta and play in a few levle 5 tourniments or futures and if i could mabee win one i will play a levle 4 tounement and keep making my way up, right now im a 3 on the ntrp scale but by the time im a senior i want to be a 5.5. so if its possible for me to become pro can some one tell me what path to take to geting into the atp
ill be honest with you i play tennis ive been playing since i was 11 im 14 now i play about 3-4 times a week at about 3-4 hours a day im a level 5 player and im ranked 130 in my usta section (ohio valley) i play level 5-6 events but honestly futures and challengers are usually played by people in the top 100 nationaly and those guys play since they were 7-8 and play everyday for about 6-8 hours a day i know a couple people at my club that are ranked in the top 100 nationaly but they dont even really play futures and you have to remeber you need to qualify for them like you need to be atleast in the top 50 of your region (midwest etc) 2 qualify for them
so in my opinion if you really practice every day then you may have a shot but you need to really practice hard and play a lot of tournaments so you should probably register 4 the usta now and start playing
