What are the characteristics of modern tennis?

Tennis can be said to be a relatively common ball sport. Many people have played tennis, and modern tennis also has its own characteristics. So when playing tennis, we certainly need to have a scientific understanding of these problems first, so that we can use such tennis to achieve the most ideal exercise effect. The following is an introduction to several characteristics of modern tennis.

Characteristics of modern tennis

(I) The high level and professionalization of the competition stimulated the rapid development of tennis

In the past, professional players were not allowed to participate in major tennis tournaments. In 1968, the International Tennis Federation lifted the ban. Since then, major events around the world have become full of commercial colors. The prize money of today's four major competitions and grand prix, tour, grand slam and wholly sponsored competitions at different levels are all astonishingly large. Stimulated by high prize money, the professionalization of outstanding tennis players, early special training and early participation in competitions have all triggered changes in tennis training and improvements in technical levels.

(2) The diversification of competition venues has promoted more comprehensive sportsmanship. Asphalt concrete-coated hard courts have fast ball decisions and are suitable for offensive play. They are widely used in major competitions. Wimbledon in the UK is a grass court, the French Open still uses sand, and there are also new types of venues such as artificial grass and synthetic carpets. The ball speed and bounce patterns of the various venues with different performance are different, and the running steps and adjustment methods are also different, requiring athletes to have a wide range of adaptability, which promotes the athletes' comprehensive skills.

(III) Preparation for counterattack and continuous innovation and development of tactics. Technically, the two-handed backhand has greatly enhanced the attacking power of the backhand. The offensive topspin high ball has now developed into a backhand offensive topspin high ball, which has improved the ability to defend and counterattack. Difficult techniques such as diving volley technique, net diving technique in doubles, and using quick jumps and high pressure to deal with aggressive topspin high balls continue to emerge. The application of serve-and-volley tactics on fast courts has promoted the development of serve-and-volley techniques and tactics. The net rushing tactics of the doubles receiving side are used not only in men's doubles but also in women's doubles and mixed doubles. This has brought various offensive and defensive techniques and tactics to an unprecedented high level.

I hope that before exercising, everyone can pay attention to understanding the characteristics and nature of these sports, because understanding these common sense is more important. It can prevent you from getting injured during exercise or being affected by other adverse factors, so that we can enjoy the effects and fun brought by exercise.
