International Table Tennis Federation - ITTF Unveils Enhanced Racket Control Process 🏓   The ITTF Equipment Team is proud to announce a major advancement in equipment compliance with the introduction of a new and enhanced racket control process, launched ahead of the 2025 season.   This initiative marks a pivotal step forward in ensuring fairness and integrity in table tennis. After months of rigorous development and testing, we’re excited to introduce a critical post-match inspection, complementing the existing pre-match checks.   A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this project— our technical experts, the Athletes Commission, the Umpires & Referees Committee, and all valued stakeholders who supported us every step of the way.   Learn more about the process and its impact here: https://lnkd.in/g87VB3mc   #TableTennis #FairPlay

As a rapidly growing sport around the world, paddle tennis is gradually gaining a foothold in the sports field. It attracts a wide range of participants with its unique gameplay and low threshold. Choosing the right paddle tennis court has become the key to improving the quality of the game and enjoying the fun of sports. First of all, the paddle tennis court not only affects the rebound and speed of the ball, but is also directly related to the performance and safety of the players. A high-quality court can reduce sports injuries and improve the professionalism of the game; secondly, durable equipment reduces maintenance costs, extends the service life of the court, and provides better long-term value. As padel tennis grows around the world, high-quality courts will gradually become an important factor in padel tennis.

Tennis Shouldn’t Promote Padel at Its Own Expense Let’s be clear—football isn’t promoting rugby. You won’t see football games showcasing rugby at halftime or replacing goalposts with rugby posts. Why? Because rugby is an exit route from football. Sure, you can play both, but with the constraints of time and money, most people will just choose one. Yet, here in the UK, tennis is actively promoting padel, with grants, funding, and a national plan to grow the sport. Padel is often presented as a complementary sport to tennis, promising new members and income for clubs, but at what cost? More and more tennis courts are being converted into padel courts. More and more players are choosing padel over tennis. As a tennis coach, I’m struggling to see how padel truly benefits tennis in the long term. How does the national governing body justify pouring resources into what is essentially an exit route from tennis? Sure, padel is exciting and offers some quick wins for clubs, but by focusing so much on it, we risk diluting the growth and focus on tennis itself. Why are we putting so much effort into promoting another sport that, in many cases, is pulling players away from tennis? It’s time to rethink this strategy. Tennis deserves the spotlight and the investment to ensure its growth, rather than handing over courts and players to a different game altogether. #TennisVsPadel #ProtectTennis #TennisDevelopment #FocusOnTennis #PlayerRetention

🎾 Sponsoring tennis is for the big players Wimbledon Finals are here - and it's hard not to notice Wimbledon's care to enhance its unique image and character through "long-term mutually beneficial Official Partner agreements with a range of blue-chip brands, as well as specifically not commercialising the Grounds overtly." 🍾 Tennis sponsorship paints a unique picture, with one of its most striking aspects being the staggering size of sponsors In fact, across the four grand slams, the average annual revenue of main partners is $25.5bn 💸 A general rule of thumb in the industry is that sponsorship represents around 1% of revenue (i.e. if sponsorship costs $1m, look for companies with annual revenue of $100m+) However, for the slams, the figure is nearer 0.1%! Just take a look at the spread of sponsors' revenues in the chart below 👇 For more analysis on Tennis' top event sponsors 👉 https://lnkd.in/emWa36uN US Open Roland-Garros Fédération Française de Tennis (USTA) United States Tennis Association Tennis Australia LTA
