    If you can avoid over-exerting yourself, then it should be fine for exercise.

    tennis is easier than it was because the racquets are lighter and easier to handle.

    make sure that whoever you play with doesn’t mind if you have to rest after a couple of games. Don’t be persuaded to carry on if you feel tired or get a headache.

    I pace myself (with my bad knees), if my friend plays a shot too far from me, I just say “good shot” and we play the next point.
