To play you need a few things, otherwise yoo can't really do anything. So in order to play, you need a good tennis racket, a bad one is alright but won't last you too long, so a good one would be preferable. It also needs to suit your preference, so it feels comfortable and that you have a good grip. You need good shoes, like the racket, better shoes will help but if you cant offord any good quality ones then don't worry about it. And also the most important one is the open visor cap or a normal cap, if you dont have one then you cant call your self good.
