Compared to badminton as a racket sport, tennis requires more physical strength while badminton is more about finesse. For an Asian nation, the latter is more of an advantage to us. Maybe that's why it caught on better.

Plus the fact badminton courts take way less space and ar easier to setup than tennis.

Who say they don't. Come out of your cave. It's just not as widespread as other sports.

I feel it's associated with higher status people over here. The kids who grew up in private schools. Go Ostralia and watch live. Smoke cikar and drink champagne kinda people.

Msia don't play sports which require much more physical and rough court/terrain
Especially badminton can start with less people as long as you have the money to play.

Malaysians mostly follow trends. Plenty of condos and even my small town public sports complex have tennis courts and you can easily buy the equipment,.so it's not accessibility

It's just that we don't have a local winning big in tennis like the Sidek brothers, LCW, etc for Badminton or Nicol David for squash so it never got far in mass appeal.

You kidding me or what. Your mid range Badminton racquet price is low end beginner tennis racquet price

I rmbr my coach started us off with 180 bucks racquet then "upgraded" us to 280 racquet. I went online to search dafuq those racquets are from the same range, considered low end in US. Mid range ones go for 400-600 .

Tennis balls? One can cost rm20. Your shuttle cock rm20 got how many inside?

And you think badminton courts expensive please go see how big a tennis court is compared to badminton. And the surface maintenance needed. Of course. Lots of courts poorly maintened .

well to be honest i got no idea about tennis but the club i went always got empty tennis court that nobody want to play. ok i got no idea how much to rent a court per hour. so how much was it actually?
i cincai google for result and this is what i found;
https://tennis.my/playgrounds/tennis-playgr...tre-jalan-duta/
QUOTE
Rates: The booking office is open till 7pm everyday & you need to go directly there to book the courts.

Outdoor courts : Rm6.00/hour for daytime & Rm12.00/hour for night
Indoor courts : Rm12.00/hour for daytime & Rm24.00/hour for night

in comparison, the low (read:cheapest) period of badminton court is rm12/hr, rm8 if dbkl court (and a pain in the ass to get it), and can go up to rm100+ per time slot typically 2-3hours on weekday night)

and i also assume tennis racket would last much longer than typical badminton racket that always broke due to lightweight construction and occasional clashing.. i typically change my racket 2-3 times a year

rm20? maybe 3 average good shuttlecock which can last max 2.5-3 match kek lets say around 30mins game?

And whats the difference with tennis where any tom dick harry can just hit the ball back?

Compare tennis strokes with simply hitting the shuttle pfffft.

I play tennis during my uni, and most tennis player who tried badminton, arm so stiff cant even hit shuttlecock properly.

And as badminton player, while i play tennis, i tend to flick my wrist if forgot to control wrist, ball fly, so both sport requires different technique

What lj is this? My yonex racket everyone each of them 600+ la. Tennis ball rm20? Badminton shuttle cock 1 match Rm8 already la. Badminton court is either cement or carpet. Carpet costing is way higher than tennis.
