Plaing tennis – Noise
Noise is a problem only if you are not used to it. If people are making enough noise to warrant a complaint, either tolerate it or ask them to be quiet. If the noise is coming from traffic, from construction work being done near the courts, or from passersby, learn to live with the noise or choose a quieter place to play, if possible.
Actually, once you learn to play with a lot of noise, your concentration should improve. If you can concentrate in noisy areas, you should be able to concentrate even better in quiet surroundings. Players who learn to play on noisy public courts probably have an advantage over club players used to quieter surroundings. Dealing with distractions, whether it’s the other player or playing conditions, is a challenge of concentration, not tennis skills.
