  • Upper Limb Kinematics During the Topspin Double-Handed Backhand Stroke in Tennis
    38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS DURING THE TOPSPIN DOUBLE-HANDED BACKHAND STROKE IN TENNIS Nicholas A. Busuttil1, Machar Reid2, Molly Connolly2,3, Ben J. Dascombe4 & Kane J. Middleton1 Sport and Exercise Science, School of Allied Health, Human Services, and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia1 Game Insight Group, Tennis Australia, Melbourne, Australia2 Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia3 Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Laboratory, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Newcastle, Ourimbah, Australia4 The purpose of this study was to compare non-dominant wrist kinematics during tennis double-handed backhand strokes in players using either an eastern or continental grip position. Trajectory data for two grips (eastern & continental) and depths (deep & short) were captured for sixteen sub-elite right-handed tennis players using a 12-camera Vicon motion capture system (250 Hz). The eastern grip demonstrated significantly faster horizontal racket head velocities compared to the continental grip. However, no differences were observed in accuracy or spin rate between grips (p > 0.05). In the non-dominant upper limb for the continental condition, elbow flexion was smaller while wrist extension was larger throughout the swing. Collectively, these data suggest that the continental grip may place the wrist in a position that is more vulnerable to overuse injury. KEYWORDS: ulna, wrist, kinematics, grip, tennis. INTRODUCTION: Acute wrist pain is among the most common issues reported by elite and recreational tennis players, and it is a likely result of the wrist being the first major upper limb joint to absorb ball impact forces (Stuelcken, Mellifont, Gorman, & Sayers, 2017; Elliott, 2006).

  • The Lta Wild Card Policy
    THE LTA WILD CARD POLICY 1. INTRODUCTION A ‘wild card’ is a player included in the draw of a tennis event at the discretion of the tournament’s organising committee or organisation. Both main draw and qualifying wild cards may be made available at events. Because the LTA runs and organises some tournaments (LTA Staged Tournaments), the LTA is able to allocate wild cards in the draws of the events within those tournaments. This policy is a general policy that explains how the LTA chooses the players which receive those wild cards and how the LTA nominates individuals to receive wild cards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Limited (the AELTC). The number of wild cards that are available to the LTA at ITF World Tennis Tour (Men’s & Women’s), ATP and WTA tour level events held in Great Britain is outlined in appendix 1. Specific Tournaments and Events If you would like to learn about a particular tournament or event, you should read the relevant tournament information. For LTA tournaments, you can find tournament-specific information packs in the competition resources area of the LTA website. 2. WHAT THIS POLICY EXPLAINS This policy (the Policy) explains how the LTA will allocate wild cards for LTA Staged Tournaments and how the LTA chooses the individuals who they will nominate to the AELTC to receive wildcards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon. Where references are made to allocating wildcards in this Policy, in relation to The Junior Championships, Wimbledon, such references shall mean nominating individuals for wildcards.

People such as Maurice McLoughlin, a contemporary champion in 1915, wrote “’Strokes on the left- hand side of a right-handed player, and vice versa, are taken in what might be called the most ‘unnatural’ position in tennis. The backswing is much more hampered than in any other stroke. The strength of the wrist is much more demanding…all these things make the ordinary backhand stroke an awkward one…’ J. Parmly Paret wrote in 1927 ‘The backhand stroke is one of the greatest stumbling blocks for every beginner…if you’re like the average player, you’re pretty relaxed on the forehand, but when you see a ball coming to your backhand you cringe, ‘Dear God, it’s a backhand’(cited in Tabak, 1991, p.

    18 March 2020 ATP AND WTA EXTEND SUSPENSION OF TOURS After careful consideration, and due to the continuing outbreak of COVID-19, all ATP and WTA tournaments in the Spring clay-court swing will not be held as scheduled. This includes the combined ATP/WTA tournaments in Madrid and Rome, along with the WTA events in Strasbourg and Rabat and ATP events in Munich, Estoril, Geneva and Lyon. The professional tennis season is now suspended through 7 June 2020, including the ATP Challenger Tour and ITF World Tennis Tour. At this time, tournaments taking place from 8 June 2020 onwards are still planning to go ahead as per the published schedule. In parallel, the FedEx ATP Rankings and WTA Rankings will be frozen throughout this period and until further notice. The challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to professional tennis demand greater collaboration than ever from everyone in the tennis community in order for the sport to move forward collectively in the best interest of players, tournaments and fans. We are assessing all options related to preserving and maximising the tennis calendar based on various different return dates for the Tours, which remains an unknown at this time. We are committed to working through these matters with our player and tournament members, and the other governing bodies, in the weeks and months ahead. Now is not a time to act unilaterally, but in unison. All decisions related to the impact of the coronavirus require appropriate consultation and review with the stakeholders in the game, a view that is shared by ATP, WTA, ITF, AELTC, Tennis Australia, and USTA.
