Latest Tennis News & Match Updates
We keep an eye on the biggest tournaments, player rankings and surprising results. Missed the Ryder Cup pairings? We covered the Friday morning foursomes at Bethpage Black, highlighting the strategies of captains Luke Donald and Zach Johnson. Want to know why young players are still chasing Grand Slam titles? Our article breaks down the challenges they face, from experience gaps to the physical grind of four‑week majors.
Our news roundup also touches on moments that affect the sport beyond the court. For example, we explored how a Romanian airspace breach could impact international sport events by shifting security priorities in Europe. While not tennis‑centric, it shows the broader context that shapes the world our athletes compete in.
Gear Guides and Injury Help
Choosing the right racket can feel overwhelming. Our guide walks you through weight, head size and grip considerations, helping you match a racket to your style without guesswork. Whether you need power or control, the article gives practical steps: test a few models, feel the balance, and check how the grip feels in long rallies.
Got a sore elbow? Tennis elbow shows up after repetitive strokes, and most people recover in 6‑12 weeks with proper care. We warned against common mistakes like skipping ice, ignoring braces, or skipping physio. Simple steps—rest, ice, light stretching and a guided rehab routine—can cut recovery time dramatically.
Even your shoes matter. Washing tennis shoes in a machine might seem convenient, but it can wear out the fabric and reduce grip. Hand‑wash or spot‑clean, use a laundry bag, and let them air‑dry for the longest life.
All these tips aim to keep you playing longer and enjoying the sport more. We blend expert advice with everyday language so you can act right away.

Top seeded tennis players have a distinct advantage when competing in grand slams. Their ability to consistently maintain their place in the rankings gives them the opportunity to play better than their opponents. This is due to their dedication to their craft, their experience, and the additional confidence they gain from playing on the big stage. They are also able to adjust to the different playing conditions and surfaces that are present in grand slams. All of these factors allow them to maximize their performance and give them an edge over their opponents. Furthermore, top seeded players also have access to better resources and coaching, allowing them to stay ahead of the competition.

Tennis players bend when receiving serves for several reasons: to maintain balance, to increase their reach, to better read the serve and to make the server think the ball is going to the wrong place. Bending can help players react more quickly and return the serve at an angle that the server did not expect. It also helps players keep their eye on the ball, ready to react as soon as it is hit. Bending correctly can take a player’s game to the next level as it gives them more time for an effective response and allows them to have more control over the ball.

Tennis players must call the ball out if it lands outside the court or in the net. According to the International Tennis Federation’s rules, players have one second to call the ball out after it has landed. If a player does not call the ball out in time, then the ball is considered in play and the point continues. Players are encouraged to be vocal and call the ball out, as it is important for fair play and the integrity of the game. In the case of a close call, the umpire or line judge can make the call.

Wristbands can also be used to wipe sweat away from the face, prevent chafing and absorb shocks from the racket. Additionally, some players may wear them for fashion or to make a statement. Whatever the reason, wristbands are essential for any serious tennis player.
