Abstract

Tennis is a global sport that demands great physical strength when played at a professional level, which stresses muscles and joints through sudden sprints and repetitive racket movements. Each sport has high physical demands and risks of injury. Several studies have reported that professional athletes play while enduring pain and injury. This can have a negative impact on their health in the days after their tennis career ends. There is a dearth of data related to risk factors and tennis-related injuries. Therefore, this review was conducted to fill this knowledge gap. The literature review was conducted through a search of electronic databases and international papers published from 2019 to 2024 on topics related to sports injuries and tennis players. Most tennis injuries are caused by overuse and others are caused by traumatic injuries or acute events. Overuse injuries are most common in the shoulder, wrist, and elbow. The current review shows that injuries can occur and affect various anatomical areas. Clinicians can use the information contained in the current review to design appropriate preventive strategy programs and monitor tennis players’ training loads and maximal fitness achievements, as this can reduce the risk of injury.
