IHELP!! I need a beginner's tennis racquet?

I'm a 17 year old girl who has never played tennis before, but I've played plenty of badminton and I've been very good at it, and I need help in finding a good tennis racquet for beginning tennis players who would like to eventually play seriously. If I want to play seriously, should I buy an intermediate level racquet because I'm 5'7 and I weigh roughly 105 lbs. but I'm pretty strong because I'm also a figure skater. And which companies??

You should find a racquet that you are comforatble with and also in your price range. I've never used Prince - Just Wilson. But Prince, Head, Wilson and Dunlop are all excellent. You should probably start with an oversized head and make sure you have a grip that fits your hand. The important measurement for a beginner is the string size and the weight it is strung at. You probably need a size 16 or 17 string and have it strung at 55 LBS. The pro at wherever you buy your raquet at will know what this means and be able to help.
