Intervals are extremely good for speed... an interval is when you run very fast for a bit and then run really slow for the same/ a longer distance, either that or you just stop running between intervals. Long distance running, you know, running around your neighbourhood for a half hour, is good for endurance. Another thing that also helps endurance is core training. For this you would excersize a different group of muscles everyday to build up core muscles. These are muscles in your abdomen and back - example excersizes are the plank (straight back, support weight on toes and elbows or hands for about a minute or longer if you can), pushups, and situps (there are lots of different kinds for this, including ones where you are on your side, your entire body rises to your knees or just your chest, or you could lie down and rise, touching each knee separately). Other excersizes for leg strength are lunges (take a step and have the leg that you are not stepping on drop to its knees), and squats (back straight and sit down. You could also try the burpee (stand up, jump as if touching the ceiling, fall to your hands and knees, go into plank position, go back onto hands and knees, jump up again. and keep repeating). Well these are just a few. I could keep going if you wanted (there was a whole weight section I was going to get into) but those should get you started =]

Deffinitly do short sprints. Keep in shape. Work on your calve muscles. Short sprints help a lot, because thats what you do a lot in tennis, run from one spot to another. Hope I helped! Happy Summer!
