]]>Pickleball paddles are much smaller than tennis racquets, and they’re easier to handle because they’re made with lightweight materials, usually carbon fiber.
Balls used in pickleball are reminiscent of whiffle balls, and they’re nearly an ounce lighter than tennis balls. They don’t bounce as high, impacting the way this sport is played.
Pickleball comes with its own set of rules, which are much different than the ones in tennis. This sport has its own scoring rules—the ball must be served underhand as a volley serve, and there’s also a two-bounce rule involved.
Pickleball courts are not as large as the ones used in tennis, and they resemble badminton doubles court in size.
Pickleball is more accessible than tennis because the equipment is usually cheaper. The basic rules are easier to master, and playing this sport requires less strength and movement, making it more beginner-friendly.

]]>If tennis isn’t your go-to fitness routine, and you’re just starting out, there’s no need to invest a fortune in new equipment. You can look for second-hand rackets, shoes, and more at local thrift stores and online marketplaces before you’re ready to buy brand-new equipment of better quality.
Court fees are definitely the biggest expense of tennis, so try looking for free courts in your local area, even the ones that weren’t built specifically for tennis. Since free outdoor courts can have their challenges, you can always search for budget-friendly recreation centers with tennis courts and share expenses with your friends.
If you see tennis as a fun hobby and don’t intend to go pro, there’s no need for private lessons. They’re extremely overpriced, so try to learn the basics by watching some instructional videos online, and your skills will improve as you go along.

]]>Never head to the tennis court before checking the weather forecast, and leave your session for another day if it’s going to rain. Also, don’t start your sessions before checking the condition of the court to make sure it’s not too wet or slippery.
Speaking of keeping yourself warm, doing a warm-up before playing tennis is also a must. You should spend some time stretching and doing light exercises before hitting the court no matter what the season, but this is even more important once colder days arrive since your muscles will take longer to properly warm up.
Even if you’ve checked the forecast, fall weather can be pretty unpredictable so it’s important to come prepared. Lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics are always a good choice for tennis sessions, but you should layer up once fall arrives and bring a light jacket or hoodie to keep yourself warm if necessary.

]]>Yoga forms a vital part of Serena Williams’ daily morning routine. Still, this 23-time Grand Slam winner doesn’t forget to perform essential stretches before her workouts, for example, stretching her hip flexors.
With 17 career titles under her belt, this 26-year-old tennis star has been in fine form since giving birth to her daughter. Elina Svitolina’s intense leg workout includes an array of simple yet testing movements, including jumping squats, lunges, and lying leg lifts.
At just 23 years old, Bianca Andreescu’s career has skyrocketed since she won the 2019 US Open. This Canadian star’s workout regimen includes a range of workout equipment, including a yoga mat, medicine ball, dumbbell, and long bands. As she said, however, you can replace this equipment with household items if you do not have access to it.

]]>The tennis tournament has been around since 1877 and is a great believer in tradition. So much so that female players have had to abide by a certain dress code over the centuries. According to the Wimbledon rule book, players must be dressed entirely in white, including their undergarments.
“Any undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre.”
The rule has stood since Victorian times, but things become uncomfortable for women around that time of the month. Just ask any woman on her period and she will confirm that white is the one color she will strongly avoid.
Female players have been asking for years for the strict law to change, but it was only in November of last year that their plea was taken seriously. Wimbledon officials announced that they would make amends to the dress code, allowing “solid, mid/dark-coloured undershorts provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt.”
And with the 2023 tournament now underway, we are seeing that reform in action for the first time.
Kazakhstani athlete, Elena Rybakina, was the first player to wear dark shorts during the competition.
“One thing is to deal on the court with your opponent, with your own stress and nerves, and if you have additional stress of thinking about the period and stuff, and if your skirt will get dirty, it’s additional stress which you don’t want to think about,” Rybanika explained. “So finally we’ve got this little adjustment, and I don’t think it’s gonna hurt the tournament, but for the players, for us, for the girls, it’s going to be such a big deal.”

]]>The problem is, white can show other stains, particularly if you’re a female and menstruating.
According to Wimbledon’s dress code, competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white. White does not include off-white or cream, and while a single trim of color around the neckline or cuff of the sleeves is acceptable, it must be no wider than one centimeter.
There has now been an update regarding outfits, following discussions with the Women’s Tennis Association, clothing manufacturers, and medical teams about how to “best to support women and girls competing at The Championships”.
Female athletes will now be permitted to wear mid-to dark-colored undershorts, provided that they are not longer than the player’s shorts or skirt.

]]>If you’re looking to work out not just solo, but with your friend or significant other, then tennis is even more perfect for you because you can play doubles. It’s quite common for couples to team up and play 2 on 2 against other couples. This can be a good way for you two to bond as well as exercise, have fun, and be competitive together.
Speaking of exercise, tennis is a great cardio exercise. It involves you running around constantly, both laterally and horizontally, to the point where you’ll find yourself getting a real serious workout.
As mentioned earlier, tennis is also a very fun sport that’ll make you forget that you’re even working out. You and your partner will love the experience of doing something fun together that also keeps you fit.

Lululemon also couldn’t resist embracing tennis-inspired looks with their latest collection. The Canadian brand even recruited the rising tennis star Leylah Fernandez for the campaign. The collection features tennis skirts, shorts, and jackets in a variety of colors and sizes.
We can always count on Fabletics to jump on the leading activewear trends and they wouldn’t miss this craze for the world.

The first drop features both male and female styles, ranging from skirts and dresses to shirts and shorts.

]]>Most people aren’t ready to admit this, but playing tennis in the summer is actually the worst. You must schedule your court time around the heat and still have to deal with hot temperatures even once you do it. You won’t have to deal with this problem in the fall because the temperatures are lower and you can finally enjoy pleasant tennis lessons.
Staying active in the fall can be extra hard and we need all the motivation that we can get. One of the easiest ways to stay motivated is to find a fun activity that you enjoy, and tennis falls under that category.
Even if you’re staying active in the fall, you’re probably doing it indoors. Tennis is one of those activities that allow you to head out and enjoy some fall foliage. Until it gets too cold and rainy, you should head to the tennis court whenever you get the chance.
