Why does a tennis ball have fur?
tennis balls not very important..clothing: wear something that comfortable, clean, athletic, clothing that you can move, stretch and run on
racquet: it depends if your above 13 you should start using 27'' racquets but first DO NOT SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY ON YOUR FIRST RACQUET!

Are all of the courts at the australian open have a roof that is retractible?
Get a BIG racquetYou don't need a specific brand of tennis balls, or certain kind of clothing unless you're planning on entering a competition then you actually need a tennis outfit, but for the raquet size you should go with one that has a big head since you're a beginner and make sure that your grip is right you can find that out by just looking online and the only other thing that you need to know is how to keep score and of course how to play but as long as you have someone who knows the game to teach you then you should be fine. Hope this helps.
1. No, but they should be replaced every so often.
2. Light-coloured clothes that are comfortable.
3. Get something that has more power until you're comfortable with making up your own racquet speed.
4. Don't worry about power, make consistant shots. Force your opponent to make mistakes.
What is a "walkover" in tennis?
well, the brand of tennis balls does not make a big difference in playing.never wear jeans in tennis
for beginners, try using rackets with big heads
otherwise, get a coach and you can ask him all the necessities
"Andre Agassi was the best tennis player in the 90's"... any doubts??
Tennis is a very good sport to play since it works out most parts of your body. In order to play tennis to the point to help you excercise and have fun at the same time certain equiptment is need to make the most out of it but still cost efficient.Balls: Any brand of balls is ok EXCEPT: TC.these balls will go flat (lose their bounce) after a few days.
Clothing: Clothing is very important. Most clothing will absorb sweat and it will make you feel sticky after playing. For recreational players this is ok, but it would feel better to get a tennis outfit. Nowadays they have ones that will keep you cool and not weigh you down with sweat.
racquet: this is one important piece of equiptment. I would suggest getting one that has an oversize head. this is around 116 square inches (dont quote me on that) and will let you get a feel for the ball when playing. Wilson hyper hammer series has a light weight frame and most come in an oversize. make sure the grip is also comfortable.
Misc: Tennis is a fun sport and can give you thrills if you play competative. it would be good to get a coach so you can learn how to play. hope this helped
all clothing must be designed and maufactured as tennis clothing(or at least look like it!) , should be clean and tidy...
guys should wear collared shirts, girls don't need to.
tracksuits/sweats may be worn over tennis attire, during warm up, and until the commencing of play.
advertising should be minimal ie large brand names and logos.
no you do not need a particular brand of tennis balls, although you should not buy unpressurised/soft balls
as for racquets
I would reccomend the following brands: Prince, head, babolat, fischer, dunlop and possibly volkl, maybe power angle.
Stay away from: Prokennex, wilson, w line, avery, gamma, slazenger, technifibre and yonex.they are either sub-standard for hitting with, and wilsons are not only sub-standard but brake easily.
stick to the Head Flexpoint Instinct Junior Racquet , Head Liquid Metal Prestige Junior Racquet , Head Flexpoint Radical Junior Racquet , Prince O3 Hybrid 26 Junior Racquet, Prince Shark 26 Junior Racquet , Prince Turbo Diablo 25 Junior Racquet , or any of the junior babolats except the last four on this page.

you will have to scroll down to the last subtitle of juniors on each page.
How can you tell the difference between a racquet and the junior version?
okay girl listen up, I have taught and coached tennis for over 30 years.you need good shoes, any racquet, even the old wooden ones you can buy for .50 at a garage sale... the very worst thing you can do is to try and play tennis and keep score and know the rules...just go out and hit against a wall, get some confidence in your eye hand coordination and hit with a friend and just get the ball over the net. If you take lessons, make sure they are private and not group. You do not get the attention you need in a group setting. I love to go to public courts in overalls and watch the people laugh and look at me. And then they watch me hit and they just stop and stare.Can federer win the Frenh Open?
1. you dint need a certain type of ball2. no certain clothing as long as you don't have jean or jean shorts
3. just find a cool looking one with a good price because ti really doesn't matter as long as you don't get a racquet to heavy
4. get tennis lessons

Answers to your questions:1. No. Just make sure they are new so they will have plenty of bounce. Once they start going flat, you will need to replace them every so often. I usually play with Wilson, because they are relatively cheap.
2. Not really, I would recommend loose fitting clothes. If you are in a sunny, hot climate, light colors are generally better as you will stay cooler. You probably will want a hat/visor/sunglasses for visibility and a pair of comforable, flat-soled tennis shoes.
3. For starting out, get as large a racquet head as possible. The larger frames are much more forgiving and will keep the ball under control for beginners.
4. Make sure to warm up before games so you don't pull muscles and bring plenty of liquids with you if you plan on staying out there for a while.
