You can practice hard everyday and all day on weekends but there are thousands of americans who are also doing that, let alone the world. If you do you may want to take sundays off, its good to play but if youre playing seven days a week your body will tire and you will get burned out. Its good to have a day off to let your body and mind rest. You need to start playing tournaments and get a ranking. Honestly though, you should focus more on playing for a college. If you are training the way you are it is not unreasonbale to think you can get a scholarship to play for a college. I would also reccomend going to a community college match and see how good the players are there. Then go to a division 2 and a division one college and just see how much you have to improve to play at a collegiate level, let alone a professional level. Focus on playing for a college and once you are you can focus on going pro. I don’t want to crush your dreams but the chance of you becoming pro are pretty slim.

I suggest that if your pretty good start entering USTA matches. Once you start winning local and state championships enter a u.s invitational. If you win several of those than you might think about entering a minor pro tournament and see how you do there. Basically it could take you a while but if your good enough then yes you could still make it. If your really dedicated i suggest entering a prestigious tennis school in Florida and play year round. That's were many of the pros started. Good Luck! Alright basically you need to be pretty good. I suggest that if your pretty good start entering USTA matches.

You can be a pro, but you will start very late, but it's not worth it. I don't think that if you do actually become pro, you will be good, no offense. Here is why. Serena became pro at 13 , and Venus Williams at 15, and started playing tennis when they were 2 or 3 years old. That shows that being a tennis player at a young age means that they are highly better than any other player in the world. You just started two months ago, I personally that you can be as good as her. You should have started when you were little. They were the first tennis players to start being a pro below the age of 16. They are too good. You can do whatever you want in life and that's good, but I don't you will be good enough. Another example why. There is a tennis player who became pro at 13, now she's 14 from Portugal and won the first round in the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne and played a 7-5 set with Daniela Hantuchova. She will be a future #1. People that are pro at 13, 14, or 15, it means that they started tennis when they were 2 or 3, but you started super late. No offense, but no.

Japanese pro tennis player Date turned pro when she was almost 20 and she was a top 5 player. Absolutely not too late, but you need to work twice as hard though.

No offense, but the highest level you may reach are local tournaments and such. You have started out way too late. The current pros have all been chosen by prestigeous tennis academies at ages of 12 and younger. At those academies, they make the magic happen and send you off to pro. These academies have scouts that look for potential players but they do not choose a person who is too old. After all, tennis pros have to retire around 25 and younger.
