🎾 Tennis Faces a Critical Challenge—And It's Coming from Within 🎾 As the popularity of pickleball and padel continues to surge, taking over tennis courts worldwide, it's crucial for us in the tennis community to reflect on the broader implications for our sport. However, the issue isn't just about new sports gaining ground—it's about introspection within our own ranks. In my latest article, I explore the intrinsic challenges within tennis itself that contribute to this shift. It's time for tennis coaches and stakeholders to look inward before casting blame externally. We need to assess our coaching practices, adapt our strategies, and revitalize our approach to keep tennis thriving in an ever-evolving sports landscape. 👉 I invite you to read my reflections and join the conversation about the future of tennis. Click below to read the full article. Let's discuss how we can collectively enhance our sport and respond to these emerging trends. #TennisIndustry #SportsCoaching #TennisCoaching https://lnkd.in/eMEUUYF3

TENNIS : Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society and at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including wheelchair users. The original forms of tennis developed in France during the late Middle Ages.[3] The modern form of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in the late 19th century as lawn tennis.[4] It had close connections both to various field (lawn) games such as croquet and bowls as well as to the older racket sport today called real tennis.[5] The rules of modern tennis have changed little since the 1890s. Two exceptions are that until 1961 the server had to keep one foot on the ground at all times,[6][7] and the adoption of the tiebreak in the 1970s.[8] A recent addition to professional tennis has been the adoption of electronic review technology coupled with a point-challenge system, which allows a player to contest the line call of a point, a system known as Hawk-Eye.[9][10] Tennis is played by millions of recreational players and is a popular worldwide spectator sport.[11] The four Grand Slam tournaments (also referred to as the majors) are especially popular: the Australian Open, played on hardcourts; the French Open, played on red clay courts; Wimbledon, played on grass courts; and the US Open, also played on hardcourts. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

The Camaraderie of Tennis: A Strategic Duel Across the Net Tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The strategic rallies, the powerful serves, and the satisfying feeling of a perfectly placed shot - tennis offers a unique blend of physical exertion and mental focus. Whether you're engaged in a friendly match with a friend or witnessing the intensity of a professional tournament, tennis is a captivating game of strategy and skill. The mental aspect of tennis is often underestimated. Players need to anticipate their opponent's shots, formulate winning strategies, and adapt their tactics on the fly. The camaraderie that can develop on the tennis court, whether playing doubles with a partner or simply sharing a friendly match, is another aspect that makes this sport so enjoyable. #TennisLife #AceIt #LoveTheGame

At the Professional Tennis Players Association we are focused on making tennis safer. It starts with analyzing the risks inherent in the modern game of tennis and using data to help guide our recommendations. It’s time to stop these crazy late night matches. They increase the risk of injury for players and decrease the quality of tennis. It’s imperative we collaborate to help make the game safer for all all players and then take this concept of data-driven care to broader sports and society.
