If you think tennis is a game only for young people, think again. More and more older adults are learning to play the game, and for many good reasons. In fact, there’s no upper limit to the age at which you can start learning, and playing, the sport that’s called “the sport of a lifetime.” If you didn’t play in your youth, you missed out on some great physical and mental conditioning for your body. But don’t think that you missed your window of opportunity and that it’s too late to learn! Truth be told, many people in the 60’s and older are taking up tennis for all of the benefits that the game offers. We’ll highlight the top 3 reasons why.

Top Reason #1: Physical Health

As people age, muscles tend to atrophy, bone density decreases and we lose our strength. Due to inactivity, people also tend to put on pounds in areas that they never did before. Welcome to the “golden years!” Physicians will tell you that it’s critical to maintain your body’s core strength as you age, because that’s what will keep you moving and in good physical health. Tennis offers key benefits in all muscle groups, as well as cardiac conditioning without over-stressing your body. It keeps your heart pumping and keeps you heart healthy (remember, your heart is a muscle), while keeping your lungs in top shape. The physical activity with tennis also helps to prevent osteoporosis, by increasing your bone density. Coupled with your muscle tone improvement, you will help prevent falling – one of the curses of old age.

Top Reason #2: Mental Health

Ageing takes it’s toll on your mental health as well, just as it impacts your physical health. As we grow older, our memory tends to fail, however gradually. By playing tennis, you help boost your blood circulation to your brain, which in turn helps to maintain and create new neural pathways, which are key for mental acuity and memory. Playing tennis also helps your body produce natural opiates, called endorphins. These chemicals help to create a calming, analgesic effect, and also help control stress and pain. Best of all, there’s no prescription needed.

Top Reason #3: Socialization

Tennis is a team sport – you don’t play tennis by yourself. You either play with a partner or play doubles with other couples. This fosters socialization, which in turn helps you meet new people and enjoy pleasant activities together. As we age, we lose our friends, and it’s hard to make new ones when we’re older. Many seniors love tennis, so it’s easy to sign up to play with new partners and enjoy the game together.

What is Roger Federer's fastest serve?

143 mph Roger Federer's Fastest Serve That being said, he definitely has the ability to up the serve speed when he needs to. Roger Federer's fastest serve was recorded at 230 km/h (143 mph) during the 2010 Gerry Weber Open.

tenniscreative.com - Men's & Women's Fastest Tennis Serves Ever Recorded

The fastest tennis serve ever recorded was hit by Australian player Sam Groth in Busan, South Korea in 2012, clocking in at a whopping 263.4 km/h or 163.7 mph. However, given the fact that the serve was recorded at a ITF Challenger level event, the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) does not officially recognise it as the fastest serve due to a lack of uniformity in the calibration of the serve speed tracking equipment. As such, American John Isner holds the ATP’s official record for the fastest serve at 253 km/h or 157.2 mph hit during the 2016 Davis Cup. Nevertheless, Sam Groth has proven his serving ability even on the largest of stages, such as the time he hit a 147 mph ace past Roger Federer at Wimbledon 2015. Check it out in the video below:
