Answer:

The answer is: 140.4 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

130 pounds is 59 kgs.

Play tennis as an amateur

Obviously, it will not be the same to play tennis as a beginner than to do it at an expert level, since the latter will always spend more energy and therefore their caloric loss will be greater.

The following formula is used to know the calories you will burn:

Calories burned approx. = 0.032 x (weight x 2.2) X total minutes of practice.

Calories approx = 0.032 x (59 x 2.2) x 30 = 124.6

As the game has been intense, what would be more approximate than it would have burned would be: 140.4 calories.

The answer is: 140.4 calories.
