Will Playing Tennis Ruin My Knees Or Elbows In The Future?

I’m fourteen and I love the sport, but I’m worried about when I get older, will it damage my knees, elbows, or arms when I’m an adult? I don’t want to be the one who has to get surgery after surgery because I play tennis!

  1. it can waer out your joints, but if you take care of yourself you should be fine, tennis is a great sport, and people that are 90 can play.
    look at it this way, if you do end up needing it, it just shows how committed you are to the best sport in the world

  2. It’s possible, but you’d have to play a great deal - like hours a day, 6-7 days a week. More likely, if you stay active, and keep your weight at reasonable limit, you’ll stay healthy and avoid the extra all-day stress of being overweight. That will do more damage to your joints than an hour of tennis every day.
