There is no debate that bad technique is one of the biggest contributors for injuries at recreational tennis, and it is easy to spot and possibly fix early. But even if your overall form and technique is great, there could be some specific features in your form or playstyle contribute to an injury over a longer period of time. This happens in pro level tennis all the time, and smart tennis players always adapt the form to enable them longer career. But sometimes these injuries are not obvious, since it may just happens with no correlation to their form or playstyle. In this thread I am trying to enable a discussion and thoughts on some of the recurring injuries on pro level players we know of, and see what is your analysis, specifically if it has anything to do with their playstyle or specifics in their form. Of course I have no interest in talking about some oncourt/offcourt injuries happening from pure accidents (which has nothing to do with their form or playstyle). So for example Federers knee injury, I believe was an accident (feel free to correct me).
Some examples are:
1. Andy Murray Hip injiury
2. Dominic Thiem Right Wrist injury
3. Del Potro Left Wrist injury
4. Rafa Nadal Abdominal injury
5. Rafa Nadal Lower Back injury
