You should checkout classes at local colleges. They are not that expensive and have a lot of other people to play with and have a lot more balls before picking up again.

I've been doing all that by myself.<br />

I'm posting this because now I need someone to hit back.<br />

It's hard to know where the ball will land in the court you constantly just hit against a wall.

Before you start taking lessons from anybody, I'd suggest just continuing to play more in order to familiarize yourself with the game. That way when you <i>do</i> get lessons, you'll have some experience to grow from.<br />
<br />
Some tips to get you started:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Start out with learning to predicting where the ball's going to go and developing hand-eye coordination/grip strength for control. Without working on these first, I'd say lessons wouldn't help all that much just yet.</li>
<li>Standing on…</li>

<li>Standing on the <a href="http://www.sportspectator.com/fancentral/tennis/tennis_diagram.gif" target="_blank">service line</a> and play "service line-to-service line" tennis. This way, you can use your arm strength for controlling rather than for powering the ball to the other side. Even more-seasoned players can use this to improve their more advanced shots later on.</.i></li>
<li>If you feel like you're spending a lot of time picking up the balls, just get more. Beginners don't need to worry about using ones that've started going flat, so just keep saving them up.</li>
</ul>
