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.
All these pieces of information are updated regularly, so bookmark this page and check back often. Whether you’re a beginner, a tournament player or just a fan who loves watching tennis, the “Current” section keeps you in the loop with fresh, practical content.

Who is the best tennis player currently playing?
In my opinion, the title of the best tennis player currently playing has to go to Novak Djokovic. With a plethora of Grand Slam titles under his belt, Djokovic has consistently showcased his skills and prowess on the court. His agility, precise shots, and mental strength set him apart in high-pressure matches. Not to mention, his ability to adapt and excel on different surfaces is truly commendable. So, for me, Djokovic undoubtedly embodies the pinnacle of tennis at present.
