Why is tennis not so popular?

Why is tennis not so popular in India like cricket, why not many courts are there, why not many people play it?

Why there are no tennis academies as compared to Europe, for someone like me who admired tennis a lot, this actually hurts.

Real estate is expensive. Equipment to play and maintenance of court in playing conditions is expensive.thays why cricket is famous, a bat and ball. Any number of people can play, play anywhere - on street, on terrace, single playground where 10 different teams will play at the same time.

It all boils down to money. Every single thing in our country.

Yeah absolutely correct, but still it hurts at least academies of tennis should have been there as an encouragement step.

Hey the long and short of it is that tennis is extremely expensive. The cost to make and maintain a facility is high.

My guess: It’s still one of the top 5 most popular sports in terms of viewership in India. But in terms of actual people playing would be 10th of so.

Tier-1 cities do have a decent number of tennis academies. But true, it has not expanded to tier-2,3 cities.

Tennis coaching Bangalore

Are there any tennis academy in Bangalore that offer training for working professionals at a reasonable rate? Tried finding but most of them offer training to kids or charge a lot. Looking for one near Harlur or HSR.
