US Open Tennis Balls Serving Up Controversy, And Perhaps, Players' Injuries

The concept of a tennis ball is always simple in our heads. A cover of neon yellow fell over a pressurized piece of rubber. Still, they differ from each other. On this, the US opens that a player is blamed for this. 

Peyton Stearns got beaten on Monday in the round of 16.  The Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova contributed a lot to the competition with arm pain. 

Vondrousova couldn’t beat any of the competition and was expected to play against Madison Keys on Wednesday in the quarter-finals.

She stated 

“They are very heavy and the season is long, so I feel like, you know, you just have to fight through it.”

There are some specific rules that are allowed for tournament balls under the International Tennis Federation rules. The ball has a weight of around 3 grams and is almost 1/10th inch in diameter. They are also imprinted as regular duty and extra duty to understand the thickness of it.
