Unlike other sports, a tennis match is not limited by any specific time duration, which means that a match can last many hours.<sup>1<\/sup> The very nature of the game involves a series of repetitive stresses for the tennis player, intense serves and hits, as well as continuous explosive manoeuvres, which make the athlete vulnerable to a particular injury profile.<sup>2<\/sup> Acute injuries in tennis usually involve the lower extremity,<sup>3<\/sup> while chronic overuse injuries involve the upper extremity.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><p><strong>Table of contents<\/strong><\/p><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2-\u03b3\u03b7\u03c0\u03ad\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\">Play Surface<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03b5\u03be\u03bf\u03c0\u03bb\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2\">Equipment<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03b5\u03bc\u03b2\u03b9\u03bf\u03bc\u03b7\u03c7\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\">Tennis Biomechanics<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2-\u03bc\u03b5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2\">Relevant Studies<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9-\u03ac\u03ba\u03c1\u03bf\">Upper Extremity Problems<\/a><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03c0\u03cc\u03c2\">Wrist<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2\">Elbow<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03ce\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2\">Shoulder<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9-\u03ac\u03ba\u03c1\u03bf\">Lower Extremity Problems<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03b5\u03c2-\u03ba\u03b1\u03ba\u03ce\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2\">Other Injuries<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\u03b2\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1\">\u00a0References<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#faq-\u03c3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2-\u03b5\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><ul><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2-\u03b3\u03b7\u03c0\u03ad\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\">Play Surface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to other sports, tennis can be played in a variety of surfaces. Play surfaces include clay, grass or acrylic. To mention a few examples, Wimbledon uses grass courts, French Open is a clay court tournament, US Open is played on acrylic, whereas Australian Open uses synthetic courts.  A clay court is \u201cslow\u201d, and the ball tends to lose speed due to more friction at the ball-surface interface. Hard surface courts are associated with a higher ball velocity, which may put more strain on the upper extremity of the tennis player.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-087ad148 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-060398af\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-156ce405 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-oliver-sjA\u00b6strA\u00b6m-1103829.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-oliver-sjA\u00b6strA\u00b6m-1103829.jpg\" alt=\"Tennis injuries 2\" class=\"uag-image-3382\" width=\"342\" height=\"228\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-1941570c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-2691498f wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-cottonbro-5739121.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-cottonbro-5739121.jpg\" alt=\"Tennis injuries 3\" class=\"uag-image-3384\" width=\"275\" height=\"412\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03b5\u03be\u03bf\u03c0\u03bb\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Racquets nowadays are lighter, larger and stiffer, weighing up to 250g, as opposed to the wooden and heavy models that existed back in the day.<sup>6<\/sup> Racquet stiffness characteristics, string technology and consequent \u201csweet spots\u201d, as well as type of hand grip can all contribute to the type of injury incurred. For example, ulnar-sided wrist problems are more common with the western or semi-western grip, whereas the eastern grip tends to affect the flexors.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03b5\u03bc\u03b2\u03b9\u03bf\u03bc\u03b7\u03c7\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\">Tennis Biomechanics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Familiarity with the biomechanical factors involved in tennis provides a better understanding of the nature of injuries encountered in tennis players. The most demanding stroke in tennis is the serve, which has been shown to comprise 45-60% of all strokes during a match.<sup>8<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The serve has been divided into 5 phases: (i) wind up, (ii) early cocking, (iii) late cocking, (iv) acceleration, (v) follow-through.<sup>9-11<\/sup> Other types of stroke include the forehand or backhand, which include 3 phases of movements: (i) racket preparation, (ii) acceleration, and (iii) follow-through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to hit a good stroke, linked muscle groups must perform coordinated movements that will lead to a greater force summation. This concept is referred to as the kinetic chain.

Abdominal muscle strains are very common in tennis, as these muscles are involved in the serving motion. In fact, the overhead serve involves activation of the rectus abdominis, the obliques, iliopsoas and gluteal muscles.<sup>19<\/sup> Rest, ice, NSAIDS and physical therapy are usually effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Low back pain is also very common in tennis. Pain could be related to ligament sprains, paraspinal muscle strain, or in injury to the lumbar disks. The occurrence of these injuries is related to the increased rotational forces on the back during tennis, as there is an element of rotation with all tennis strokes.<sup>4<\/sup> If lumbar disk herniation is suspected or there are neurological symptoms, an MRI of the lumbar spine is warranted for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03b2\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1\">&nbsp;References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
