Warming Up
The safest way to warm up before playing tennis seems to be to have both players stand on the service line and tap the ball on one bounce back and forth. This allows you to warm up your hand/eye coordination and find good contact without risking a painful mis-hit with a full swing.
For some players this is not easy. Many players today are taught to take a full swing the first time they step onto the court. If your opponent prefers too warm up from the baseline, be sure to swing slowly and watch the ball closely to avoid mis-hitting the ball with a full swing.
It is best not to do anything quickly until you have broken a sweat. Overdressing at the start helps. Some like to jog a few laps around the court. Some like to take a few practice swings without the ball.
Another good idea is to do some stretching exercises before even picking up the racket. Warming up is always fun if you have some buddies. For kids, its good to take tennis lessons with other kids or do a tennis camp in Marin.
