   Anything (like tennis) that requires total devotion to achieve takes a special kind of personality to achieve it.

   If you are the kind of person who jumps into things with both feet, is willing to work at perfecting something for hours, weeks, days, years, is happiest when they are training hard, then you might be able to achieve your goal.

   However, I think Robert DeNiro said it best, if a kid asks him, “should I become an actor” he says no. He says the only people that can make it in such a tough profession are the folks who absolutely HAVE to be an actor – whether they ‘make it’ or not, they have to act.

   The professional athletes I know are like that. It was never a question of ‘can I go pro?’, it was always ‘I know I can be better, I’m going to work harder, longer, get better training, I’ll do whatever it takes to be the best.’

   Going pro happened as a natural procession of this drive to be the best.

   Yes, most become pro at 17-18, because they have been playing their whole life. Most start at least at 10 years of age, maybe earlier. I’m not one to say “Stop, its impossible, no way can you do this”. But. Chances are extremly slim that it will happen now just from a few lessons, or maybe not ever. Sorry.

   I highly doubt it. You could try and give it a go, but bear in mind that turning pro may not be realistic when beginning at such a relatively late age.

    If you haven’t had one tennis lesson, then you have no hope

    You will only have a chance of being minor pro and that is not to bad.

    You should have started at 9. That helps a lot. So You should play soccer if you are good at it.
