ESPN analysis
Tennis4you:
I am not sure if we discussed then 6 months ago or so, but below is an ESPN anaylsis of which sports are the toughest sports to play. I thought it was very interesting. Tennis came in @ #7 which is sweet! Tennis requires some of the most hand-eye coordination of any sport!
They used 13 or so categories to rank how tough the sport is, really a neat analysis.

Man, tennis was in last place! lol It had like 1.7% of the votes!! I voted for gymnastics :| sorry guys but I use 2 b a gymnast and its so much more physically demanding than tennis. Tho I do think tennis takes more coordination and ability to concentrate than gymnastics did...
Tennis4you:
Last place in what? What others thought? I missed that poll. I like the ESPN analysis, 7th place yo, 7th place! That is pretty good for a sport some think is a girlie sport.

Hockey comes in second. However I don't think it's as skill-oriented as tennis and therefore not as hard to play. But, at high levels you risk getting your ass kicked in everytime you step on the ice.
Tennis4you:
I think that is part of it. Football and Hockey you have to be in mad shape or weigh about 500 pounds because you are going to get hit a ton. Hockey you are constantly moving. Tennis you get breaks inbetween points.
Tennis rocks though, let them return Roddick's serve that will move Tennis up a few notches.
