   Lift weights. More use of the muscle groups will increase their mass and strength ability.

   If you have a weight bar you can do curls to improve your bicepts, and then lay down on a bench and do tricept lifts by holding your arms upward and bending your elbows backwards towards your head and then moving them back straight vertical, this will do tricepts. Otherwise if you have a weight room nearby their are machines that work the tricepts. Ask someone at the gym they should know what you are talking about. Good Luck!

   The major upper body muscles involved in swinging a tennis racquet are the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and deltoids of the torso, and the biceps and triceps of the arms. While the basic strength training program addresses these muscles individually, it may be advantageous to work some of the groups together. This is best accomplished by doing pushing and pulling exercises such as bench presses, seated rows, overhead presses, and pulldowns.

   The bench press is a popular pushing exercise that strengthens the pectoralis major and triceps muscle at the same time. Conversely, the seated row is an effective pulling exercise that works the opposing latissimus dorsi and biceps muscles simultaneously.

   One of the best means for training the shoulder and triceps muscles together is the overhead press. The counterpart to this exercise is the pulldown that involves both the latissimus dorsi and biceps muscles.

   Replace the chest cross, pullover, lateral raise, biceps curl and triceps extension exercises with the bench press, seated row, overhead press, and pulldown exercises. These provide a more comprehensive upper body workout that may have more practical benefit in terms of power production.

   mostly just play tennis – stretching is more important – but yoga is probably the best exercise you could do.

   I took lessons, that is what you need to become a better tennis player – as well the most common problem with beginner tennis players is that the racket they use the handle is too small – it should lock the wrist – a proper backhand is only accomplished when you turn the racket a quarter turn in your hand – and you keep your elbow straight. – always bend the knees, and for starters learn what a base line game is.
