This probably ranks among my 10 favorite adaptation announcements in anime, no exaggeration. Baby Steps really is tremendous - I did play tennis and I appreciate how accurate the series is in depicting it. But it also has a terrific main character, and excellent understated romance and a good deal of wit. It's fantastic.
I'm surprised, but mostly because my tastes rarely overlap with what gets adapted and what gets multiple seasons - in its own terms, Baby Steps is actually very popular and it was always a decent candidate to get an anime sooner or later.
