I'm only 4 weeks and know I can continue playing as long as I feel up to it... I take a bootcamp style tennis clinic, so I plan to tell my coach and let him know that I'll just take a break when I need it. I'm also in a doubles league, which is somewhat competitive but less strenuous. Everything is the evening, so I'm hoping to take a 30 minute nap after work when I can. Any tips or experiences to share? I'm curious to see how long I feel up to playing...
Re: Any tennis players?
Me and most of my friends played doubles up to around 7 months (some later). I stopped playing singles at 6 months. Just make sure you drink more water than normal and take your time inbetween points. If you ever feel off balance, stop playing.
