There is a disease called "tennis elbow", which is named because it is common among tennis players.

Because the elbow joint is the attachment point of several tendons, if you use too much force when playing or use too much force for a long time, the tendons of the upper arm muscles attached to the lateral condyle of the humerus will contract strongly, which may cause tendon ossification or osteochondritis. It is recommended to take an X-ray to rule it out. However, most of them are negative. You can also choose MRI to check whether there is soft tissue edema or lateral epicondyle bone marrow edema.
