- On a professional level, you are knowledgeable about all the stats of the top 10 male and female players.
- You're a member of the USTA.
- Your tan lines are awkward after playing tennis outside. There is nothing cool about a tennis polo shirt and sock tan.
- You are glued to your TV all day watching and enjoying the Tennis Channel.
- Each time you're stuck on the court and you ask yourself “What would Serena do?” you conquer on.
- You are superstitious regarding the number of times you bounce the ball before you serve.
- You specifically named your strong go-to shot, mine is the “Mikiller cross court forehand”.

- Slamming your racquet feels so good even when you know quite well you shouldn't be doing so.
- Each time you break a string, it is an indication that you're playing a strong game.
- The best smell in the world is a can of fresh new tennis balls.
- You get mad whenever you are playing against a “marshmallow hitter” or “pusher” (AKA opponent that gets EVERYTHING back).
- To you, the ultimate high on the courtyard is being in “the zone”.
- Rather than clubbing on a Friday night, you would be seen playing “Queen of the Court”.
- Callouses are all over your hand, and you really think it is super sexy.
- Whenever you hear the term “tiebreaker”, you have a mini anxiety attack.
- When it comes to what kind of racket you use, you aren’t going to change as you are a brand loyalist.
- You know the word “bagels” isn't just a breakfast item, but it actually means beating someone 6-0, 6-0 in tennis.
- You feel great pressure during match point, and nothing can be compared to that feeling.
- Your backyard, all over your home and your car is always littered with tennis ball.
- Nothing else ruins your day as much as a double fault.
