i’m 19 i played a year of college tennis and currently i’m coaching for high school. On saturdays we (me and the head coach) open the courts and let the kids play sets and have a practice that is pretty much only fun and not so much work so the kids can really learn to love the sport. anyways i woke up at 7 today and started hitting at 8 with my little brother then i went and rallied with a few other groups so i could help them out a little bit. I then played one of the high school kids in singles and i played pretty hard and i felt great. Then i took about a 10 minute rest and had some gatorade then another one of the kids wanted to play me in a set and even though i was a little tired i agreed. We played and played and it was much closer than it should have been. the whole time my legs started hurting and i have never been that slow in a match before. i finished the set around 12:40 then i went home, showered, then napped for a few hours. Now my knees are hurting in the joints and they have never hurt like this before. my elbow also hurts in the joint but it has been hurt a few times.
why do i hurt like this?
i played on hard court
i use nsix one 90 (this is why my elbow hurts i am pretty sure)
the weather was perfect probably about 70 or 80 degrees fereinheit
i wasn’t running more than usual and i stretched well before.
i hit with luxilon.

I recently started playing tennis with my fiance. we are very amateur but really enjoy the game. what sorts of exercises or skills should i work on to improve? one thing I am not to hot at is being quick to get the low shots. what drills can i work on to get better? what is the best brand of racket? are there certain shoes that are best for wearing during tennis? thanks.

Okay, I was just wondering something,

I’m thinking of limiting my non-Tennis excercise to low impact (but still vigorous) cardio exercises like cycling and nordic track (or whatever they call that one machine), mainly to avoid putting excess stress on my knees and shins, since I have to run around a lot when on the court.

Is this a good plan, these non-running exercises still serve to build and maintain endurance.

I’m a tennis player looking for a new workout plan… if anybody knows what exercises pros like Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal do when they workout, please let me know!

I going to be a freshman in high school and I’m playing for my school’s tennis team and I was wondering what things (exercises, drills, hitting etc) could I do at home to become a better player and get in better shape for it. I live near another tennis court too.

Also what can I do about my getting nervous when playing tennis. I’m really good when I concentrate, but sometimes I get really nervous and miss the ball. What can I do to relax myself.

I know that push ups and shoulder exersices help but are there others that specifically improve strength of the muscles that are used for say a forehand?

Last fall, I played a little too much tennis and developed tendinitis in my right wrist and began to see a slight hint of tennis elbow, but fortunatley stopped and immobilized my arm before anything permanent could set in. Now that spring is coming, I’m going to start playing tennis a lot and I’m wondering what sort of vitamins and/or excersizes and/or anything I can do to keep my arms and joint strong and healthy. I currently take a normal multivitamin, a omega-3 complex and a glucosamine/chondroitin complex. Is there anything else I can be taking to strengthen tendins/muscles/connective tissue/bones? Also, what sort of excersizes, workouts or warm ups can you reccomend for me?

I’m a female, and I want to get more into my game. If I wanted to build some chest muscle like Justine Henin (Tennis player, google her), what specific exercises would be good for that?

Free weight lifts? Machines? Which ones?

my mom is a very supersticious person and believes almost everything is spiritual.i have had tennis elbow for 8 weeks. she said it is because i disrespect her and her anscetors are punishing me or something like that. my elbow has gooten alot better but i just got into an argument with her about taking my stuff without me knowing and giving it to my brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. she said she’s mad at me so she will never let me heal.

also my goal is to become a college tennis player and i am almost there. she says luck is the most important thing and i don’t have it. i won’t make it, because of my size and god won’t allow it.

this is really getting to my head. help?

im 15 years old and my elbow will not stop hurting. It comes and goes on a daily basis and I cannot move my arm because the pain is so strong. It surrounds the entire joint and I believe it is tendinitis that wont heal. (I am a twirler all year around and a tennis player) What do you think it is possibly?

Thank you :)

as a tennis player am i screwed? i crack my nuckles, therefore weakening my grip(proven by scientists) and i used to crack my elbows and now, sometimes when i put pressure, like lifting weights or w/e even swinging, it hurts . it might be tennis elbow but how long would that take to heal
also, its hard to exert(how do you spell it?) power/force with these problems

Alright, i’m 14 years old in high school. and i have lifted before with my brother when i was 13 but i barely got any results cause i didnt eat enough and wasn getting enough protein and would skip days, etc. so anyway, during the summer, i went to lift for one day. and i didn’t feel like i was over working myself, but the day after my upper forearm started hurting. like right at your elbow area. if you put your arm out straight, palms down, your forearm muscle will stick out, and thats where it hurt. so i had to keep my arms at a 90 degree angle for like 3 days cause it hurt to put them down. my brother said i hyper extended and thats why it hurt. and it was something called "tennis player’s elbow" or something like that. so i started lifting again 4 days ago, seriouslym like i know all about protein after wokrouts and form and all that. and the same spot hurts again. not nearly as much as it did months ago, but when i extend my arms down, i feel a pull in my upper forearm. what is it?!?

i stretch between exercises, i stretch and warm up before, and cool down afterwards. and i feel fine right after. when i went with my brother when i was 13, i went for like a month and a half and i didnt feel any pain at all. wtf is up?!
