If you’re curious about whether a $120 racket really outperforms a $30 one, we break down the materials, tech and real‑world performance so you can decide if the extra cost is worth it.

Tips for Keeping Your Game Sharp

Beyond news, we share actionable advice you can try on the next training session. For example, understanding the etymology of the word “Let” helps you remember when to replay a point – it comes from the French “laisser,” meaning “to allow.” Knowing the story behind the term can make umpire calls feel less confusing.

Equipment care is another hot topic. Tennis balls wear out quickly because of court friction, heat and humidity. Store them in a cool, dry place and replace them after two to four hours of play for consistent bounce. The same principle applies to table tennis rubbers – keep them in a protective case and avoid excessive heat to extend their lifespan.

We also answer common player questions like the best women’s tennis shoes. The Nike Air Zoom Vapor X offers overall performance, the New Balance 860v10 gives cushioning, and the Adidas SoleCourt Boost provides stability. Picking the right shoe can reduce foot fatigue and improve footwork during fast rallies.

Lastly, if you’re wondering where to sit at a tennis match for the best view, we suggest lower‑level seats for an unobstructed court look or spots near the players’ benches if you want to feel the atmosphere up close. A good seat makes watching live tennis more enjoyable and can even help you pick up subtle tactics.
