We can’t get enough of Riteish Deshmukh’s super cute son Riaan as he was spotted at a tennis court in Mumbai yesterday with dad Riteish Deshmukh.
Dad Ritesh took to twitter to share and adorable picture of his son taking his ‘first tennis lesson’. This Riteish posted an image on Twitter of his son with the caption, “First lesson learnt on the court.” With the hashtag #LoveAll.
Clearly, the pic was enough to set twitter on fire and everyone was drooling over little Riaan, who is looking over the scoreboard that’s set at 0-0 or love all in tennis. Clearly, he was more interested in umpiring than playing tennis.
Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza was also one of the retweeters of the post and replied that she can’t wait to teach Riaan.
While Riaan surely looked cute, the fact is tennis can, in fact, be a great activity for your kids. Here are four benefits of tennis for your kids:

2. Helps to build your child’s motor skills: Tennis requires constant coordination of the racket and the ball coming towards your child, which is a great exercise to enhance your child’s motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
3. Keeps the brain at work, too: Tennis also involves the continuous engagement of the mind and the body, which could be beneficial in teaching your child the art of decision making and problem-solving at an early age. It also increases alertness and logical thinking.
4. Teaches your child about sportsmanship: Being a two-player game, tennis helps teach your child about sportsmanship and team spirit at a very young age. These two qualities can take him way ahead in life and help him fight life’s battles later on.
