What kind of warmup do you recommend before people start playing tennis?
It is ideal to hit for 30-45 minutes before a tennis match -- 5 minutes for a physical warmup, 20 minutes for groundstrokes, 10 minutes for volleys and overheads, 5 minutes for serving and 5-10 minutes for playing a few points to simulate a real match situation.
In general, the exercises should be short but intense; you want to wake your body up and keep it alert for the match but you don't want to get too tired.
