injury

I'm looking at live scores and I see another retirement for Dimitrov and he's been retiring from many matches or showing really sluggish form as of late. Just wondering if he's dealing with injury issues? If so it's a shame as he's one of my favourite players on tour, he's a derivative of a...

He's becoming injury prone and that is usually a signal for a conclusion to a career especially when you're nearing 38 with over 20 years as a professional tennis player, yes he retired and even tanked from a lot of matches before 2011 but nowadays I think he's too old for games. It's a shame...

Hello. I have been having quite a bout with golfer’s elbow this year and came here looking for some help and maybe some tips/exercises that have helped some of you. I developed it earlier this year back in March and was able to shake it after a cortisone shot and strengthening my forearm...

I have a nagging problem with my upper arm. The bone under the triceps muscle and the triceps muscle itself is getting microtears and bone pain (at least feels to me it is the bone) after hitting with certain stiffer racquets but sometimes it can happen even with a softer racquet. The injury...

Hi all, I would really appreciate some opinions on my serve + this pain I've been battling for a number of years! I've attached links to my serves from behind and the side at 240fps to critique the technique/possible causes. I get a pain that almost feels like shin splints but in the upper...

I'm looking for advice about what injury I have sustained. I was playing tennis, and slowly felt an instability or weakness in my groin area. I kept playing and something snapped- I could not put weight anymore on my left leg, pain radiated sciatic-like around my lower back, the...

Hi! I struggle with discomfort/pain/numbness in the palm of my hand when I play tennis at high intensity. It's fine to play at normal intensity, but when I play against a player who hits hard, I have to hold the racket harder and I then feel discomfort in the palm of my hand. I feel like my hand...

Since there is so much talk about Novak faking an injury while being in heavily favoured conditions form and tournament-wise. Since the debate is so hot, let's see a statistical analysis of how many people think Djokovic is faking or exaggerating an injury and how many think he has real injury...

He hurt a hamstring in his left leg during the 1st set of the SF against Medvedev. Took a MTO after the game #7, was forced to take the anti-inflammatories, needed to stretch a lot. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/incredible-novak-save-precedes-injury-scare-20230107-p5cb0y.html

I'm not a doctor but it looks like a heel injury, anyone else can clarify this? I wish him all the best, he's has a stop/start 2022 and I hope this isn't serious.

Imagine if The Nadal had been fully fit. He could've won 40+ slams easily.

There's still an uncertainty. What's your prediction at this moment?

I injured my shoulder around March just before one of my team matches during warm ups and don't want to switch racquets just yet. At the time I was using a cheap babolat racquet that you can find at your local ***** sporting goods, so it was technique based rather than the racquet. Now I use the...

On the surface his numbers don't look great. But under the microscope of the EYE TEST, it is very deflated and underrated. He had one great season - 2016. And he didn't even need to last the whole year to assert his dominance. His "zone" magic was gone only because of injury. His other "ATG"...

We have an 11 year old daughter who has suddenly developed lower back pain that is being treated by a physiotherapist who has suspicions it is a stress fracture but doesn’t want to expose her to radiation if it can be managed with rest. She is taking 4 weeks off initially then reevaluating...

A friend who I string for recently got a new racquet and has developed a shoulder injury (prince exo3 98 iirc). I strung it for him with: 16L pros pro hexaspin twist mains @50# 16L pros pro intense heat crosses @48# as I've been experimenting with lower tensions and he gave me...

Any health professionals here with an opinion on what it could be?

Hi everyone! I am 33 years old and just got back into playing the game competitively this past summer after not having played for about 15 years. I've done quite well since my return, but after my last few matches, I've been experiencing some shoulder soreness. There is no pain during warm-ups...

BELGRADE PRESS Undisclosed sources warn of an imminent change to Novak Djokovic’s backhand technique for the upcoming 2019 season. “He’s been working out the kinks,” says one source within the Djokovic camp, “it’s for the long term benefit and you know, Roger.” When pressed what the person...

Hey guys, this is my first year playing competitive tennis on a team and I’ve never really played tennis this much (six days a week). Prior to this, I played about 2-3 times a week. This past week I had 4 matches in five days, and now I have pain in my big toe (right foot) and second toe (left...

Recently, I started developing a dull but actually quite severe pain in my lower bicep, just above the crook of the arm. Does anybody know what might be causing that and how to remedy it? I'm thinking it might be something to do with the tendon in that area.

Murray has kept the exact details of the injury private but is known to have consulted a number of specialists in a bid to find the best way forward. With a conservative approach not having allowed him to return to the court, an operation now appears a likely course of action. Professor Max...

andymurrayHey everyone.. Just wanted to write a little message on here for anyone interested in what in going through right now. Firstly I want to apologise to @brisbanetennis for withdrawing at late notice and to everyone who wanted to come along to watch me play(or lose) The organisers...

Has anyone tried or is currently using cryotherapy as a form of healing or rehab from injury? I'm curious as I know the pros use it, and I'm a big supporter or physiotherapy, wondering how much it actually helps.

What a difference one year can make. Anyone think Milos will have a good season next year? Personally I think he can have a good year, much like 2016 coming back from injury in 2015, but only if he stays injury free. Anyone else have an idea?

Hi everyone, This is my first thread, and I wish it was a bit more positive, but well... On Oct 13 (5 days ago) I was chasing a ball and tripped after hitting it, spraining my right ankle as a result. My doctor did the ultrasound and physical examination and said it's a grade 3 sprain and that...

Not sure how a corporate guy like me ruptured a disc (well I know), but I have and luckily I'm seeing minimal pain right now down the leg. Just piriformis spasming and inability to explode as in a sprint. I've been rehab'ing for 9 months now and playing light tennis once a week at most starting...

sigh. Be still my heart. JMDP is such a wonderful man. He is so sincere. Witness his class today when Almagro retired in pain. Class. Pure and simple.

I don't know if this would fit better the "federer news" thread, but since he's on the verge of playing a slam final, I think it deserves its own thread. Russell Fuller ‏@russellcfuller 10 min Federer has an abductor problem, but hopes that with two days rest, he will be ready for Rafa - or...
