I'm 15 too. And I can tell you that as a beginner, you shouldn't be "ripping" balls back to your partner. As a beginner, you should be trying to control your shots and trying to get a feel for the game, and the basics and the instructionals. There are a ridiculous amount of things to learn, so ease up, work on form, just like basketball, baseball, golf, or whatever. You don't just start shooting three pointers when you first start basketball. Hope I helped. Alrighty, listen up. I’m 15 too.

Not really anything you can do about it, but it will probably go away after a week or so. It can happen if you start doing something physical using muscles you are not used to using. I play league tennis and every now and then my elbow or shoulder will get really sore and it gets worse when I swing a racquet, but even things like shaking hands or typing will bother it. I rest it for a couple of days to a week and everything is fine again. I would say that if you're still playing, knock it off for a couple of days to give your arm a rest. It'll probably go away. If it's not better when you get home, then go see your doctor. Sounds like a nerve injury. Not really anything you can do about it, but it will probably go away after a week or so.

"itis" means swollen. ice should help it and relaxing. get a coach to teach you your forehand. you have good spirit though. watching youtube is one of the quickest ways to learn. i tell all my high school students to watch youtube to learn more and get better and hardly any of them do. it seriously helps a lot. you probably didn’t pull a muscle. its probably tendinitis which is common for tennis players even in the hand. it is commonly reffered to as tennis elbow. it is very commone with new players trying to hit hard without the right form. i’m guessing you were trying to hit fast heavy topspin shots with a continental grip which will force you to swing too much with your arms only instead of you legs and your body’s rotation. switch to a semi western grip or full western. it isn’t serious. it will heal if you let your arm rest for a few days. if you do play, just don’t try to hit the ball hard until your form is better. when your form is better, just make sure you use your good form even when you try to hit it hard. many new players lose their form when they try to smash a ball. remember placement is much more important than power. tennis elbow is literally just tendinitis of the elbow. tendinitis simply means that your tendon’s are swollen.
