It’s week two of Wimbledon and tennis players all over the country will be able to relate to Nick Kyrgios’s racket-flinging or Heather Watson’s heartbreak.
Here are the daily problems you’ll only get if you also play tennis (for real, not just having a rally every now and again and thinking you’re Novak).
1. Your disproportionate muscles.
When your right arm is literally a whole inch bigger than your left arm… 😠#TennisProblems

2. The weird tan lines.

3. Especially when it looks like you’re constantly wearing socks.

7. The emotional ups and downs.

8. The fact that everyone thinks they can play.
If you think tennis is an easy sport, you probably suck. #tennisproblems

9. When your racket inexplicably escapes.

10. And when it receives the brunt of your frustrations.

11. When the ball decides to laugh at you.

12. Or really embarrass you.
When you’re bouncing the ball before you serve and it hits your foot and rolls all the way across the court 😆

13. Trying to explain tennis scoring to someone who just doesn’t get it.
I think I would rather eat glass than explain how to keep score in tennis to someone who has no clue 😄😄😄 #tennisproblems

14. The frustration of losing to someone you shouldn’t be.
When you're losing to someone you should be easily beating. #tennisproblems pic.twitter.com/ldwTsU6Xy8

15. When a warm-up for you is like a grand slam final for the person you’re playing.Â
Trying to warm up with someone who can’t even keep a rally going is the worst. #tennisproblems

16. Your inner monologue when your opponent is serving for the game or set.
Me when my opponent is about to serve on a really important point: please double fault please double fault please.
— Tennis Problems (@Tennis_Prob) February 4, 2015
17. But when you do one yourself…

18. How your skills can be weirdly unpredictable.
Some days I am the worst tennis player on earth and some days I’m freaking Novak Djokovic I don’t understand.

19. When you play after having a break and feel like a total idiot with a racket.
When you play for the first time in a few months… #tennisproblems pic.twitter.com/A0uOoKgDoc
— Tennis Problems (@Tennis_Prob) January 28, 2015
20. Ridiculous self-inflicted injuries.
When you hit your shin on the follow through of a serve 😄😄😄 #tennisproblems
— Tennis Problems (@Tennis_Prob) January 23, 2015
21. Blaming your equipment.
Misses a stupid shot. Adjusts strings. Examines racquet closely as if it’s all the racquet’s fault. #tennisproblems
— Tennis Problems (@Tennis_Prob) December 12, 2014
22. Getting a shot way too close for comfort.
When you’re at the net and your opponent nails a shot right at your face. #tennisproblems pic.twitter.com/QjeJmWWzIr

23. When your opponent is taking the mick.
when the person im playing against calls out when it was clearly in #tennisproblems pic.twitter.com/npmPEUp6rM

24. Trying to look on fleek when you’re covered in bruises.

25. Early morning training.Â
Yes. Having this many alarms is needed for the morning 😂🎾 #Tennisprobs pic.twitter.com/RR2UUXiVNk

26. Needing to own this many balls so you’re not running around the court collecting all the time.
Went to clean out my tennis bag and found out why my tennis bag weighed so much #tennisprobs 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 pic.twitter.com/VHlPXmjD7G
— Kristen Rocko (@kristenrrr6) April 12, 2015
27. Being a tennis terminology snob.Â
When someone says lets go to the tennis game instead of match… Smh #tennispetpeeves
