You know the feeling when you would rather go lay on the couch as opposed to getting out on the tennis court and work out? Everyone has those days when in the back of your mind you know should be getting in a tennis session. Maybe you need to burn off some calories gained the night before (why did I eat that double cheeseburger at 2 AM?) or you’re just lacking the motivation after a long day in the office. Well here are some jams that will get you going for those particular days the tennis court seems like a long way away.
1. Martin Solveig – Hello!
Of course, Martin Solveig’s Hello has to be on your playlist if you’re a serious tennis player. If you haven’t watched the video yet then you’ll know what I mean once you do.
2. David Guetta Feat. Ne-Yo, Akon – Work Hard
If this song doesn’t motivate you, then you may not have a pulse. Work hard, play hard. You’re such a poet Akon. Bonus: It samples the 1999 hit “Better Off Alone” by Alice DeeJay which is about as upbeat as it gets.
3. Scissor Sisters – Only The Horses
I could listen to this song day in and day out. This beat does such a good job of getting you off your feet then you may just want to set it as your alarm in the morning.
4. 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa – We Own It
Fast & Furious and Tennis? A Vin Diesel montage coupled with 2 Chainz and Wiz will either get you amped to the max, or make you realize you can succeed with little or no talent. Not sure which one it is.

5. DJ Khaled, T-Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg & Rick Ross – All I Do Is Win
Lets be honest, who doesn’t love winning? If you work on your footwork, strokes and persistence and then, I promise, all you’ll do is win. hey, even getting off the couch is a win.
6. American Authors – Best Day of My Life (Gazzo Remix)
Nothing like a sweet little remix to get you going. Maybe it won’t be the best day of your life after your wheezing and aching when chasing down groundstrokes but trust me, you’ll feel pretty damn good.

7. Calvin Harris Feat. Ne-Yo – Let’s Go
Listen to Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo. Let’s go… and play some tennis. On second thought don’t even worry about the words, just feel that beat. I’m dancing while I’m typing this right now.
8. K’Naan – Wavin’ Flag
If this song was used as the Soccer World Cup pump up song, then it should more than do the trick for your daily tennis workout. This being one of the happiest songs out there, it’ll make you want to train hard enough to represent your country in the Davis Cup.
9. Pitbull Feat. Chris Brown – International Love
Just listen to the beat. Just do it. This song has the ability to help you hit the stroke of your life or hang on until the last ball out of the basket is gone.
10. Kanye West – Stronger
Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better, faster, stronger! Preach Kanye!
