As the weather improves, this time of year provides the perfect opportunity to dig out the tennis racket for a game. Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player or someone that has never played there are huge benefits to be gained from the sport.

The long evenings during the summer make it possible to book a court after work and still get in a few hours before the night settles. Lots of tennis facilities in London have floodlights too which makes it possible to play at dusk and even through the winter months – assuming the weather is agreeable.

Tennis in London has always been seen as a sociable activity. The sport caters for all levels, although like most sports it’s best to play against opponents who are a similar level to get the most out of it.

An intense match of singles tennis usually burns between 528 and 872 calories, depending on your body weight. Just imagine the calories burned when playing an epic match like Andy Murray did to narrowly edge past Radek Stepanek in the opening round of the 2016 French Open at Roland Garros.
