Tennis: The Sorry State of the Game in the US

Only 18-20 million Americans play tennis, about half as many as played during the tennis boom.

But statistics can be misleading. Only 5.2 million people in the United States play tennis regularly (i.e., at least 21 times per year).

About half of adult Americans who take up tennis in any given year quit it before the year is out.

Jeez, we just don't know why, do we? We know what's wrong with the way the game is taught. It's a simple matter of facing the facts and stop doing it.
