minus-squareBadlyDrawnRhino @aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·1 day agoA professional tennis serve often reaches speeds up to 230km/h, with the fastest recorded being 263km/h. So yeah, the balls wear out quickly.
minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29arrow-down1·1 day agoI just learnt that there are 660 matches. That’s SIGNIFICANTLY more than I thought (I know nothing about tennis), the number of balls makes more sense now.
minus-squareNoel_Skum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·22 hours agoThere’s also all the activity on the practice courts too.
