Matters needing attention in playing tennis

1. Tennis needs a high court. Uneven and too smooth ground can easily lead to falls, sprained ankles and other accidents. It is also important for athletes to choose qualified venues.

2. Women choose a light racket. The racket is too heavy, the deep muscles of the arm are more laborious, and it is relatively easy to strain, so the possibility of tennis elbow is higher. Female exercisers should choose pat. Too heavy rackets can easily make their arms too strong, which does not meet the aesthetic requirements of women.

3. Be sure to stretch before exercise. No matter what kind of exercise, stretching ligaments before exercise is helpful to reduce sports injuries. According to the characteristics of tennis lower limbs, waist and arm swing, it is these parts that need to be "warmed up" by players.
