Tennis, my second favorite sport behind basketball, is an extremely difficult sport because it is so technical. Tennis is not a sport you can learn on your own. To be a good player (compete nationally and internationally) you have to get coaching.
Not only is tennis extremely technical, but it requires a lot of mental toughness. You can be great in practice and do poorly in tournaments because you're not used to the pressure. The only way to develop mental toughness is to compete in as many tournaments as you can (like 15 per year).
You can develop your mental toughness, to a certain extent, during practice by practicing a concept known as "pressure tennis". For example, let's say your objective is to improve your first serve percentage. Setting an objective to hit five first serves in a row without missing or else you have to do a pre-determined amount of suicide lines or push-ups are examples of "pressure tennis".
