Tennis and table tennis

Most of the people know what are tennis and table tennis, but do you know which one is more challenging, and harder to play. I am a Chinese and from the world perspective most people will think that I will be better at table tennis than tennis. However this is wrong despite the fact that Chinese tennis players have always been on the top of the world of table tennis. Now I will show you the difference between tennis and table tennis.


Tennis is a sport that requires the use of power, consistence , and control. Among these three qualities, power and control are the most important two. In most of the case the direction of a game will often go to the player with more power and control. The modern tennis players focus on power more than that of the past players. However in table tennis, power may contributes to a negative outcome.As you can see, the table tennis table, when comparing to the tennis court, is much shorter. In a table tennis game, more than 50 percent of the score that a player lose is by hitting the ball out.
Due to this reason, after I have play tennis for several years, it becomes so difficult for me to play table tennis. Last Friday is the first time I play table tennis and I found it more challenging than tennis since I hit most of my shots out even wit out using any power.
