• There are only two brands. You should know that in professional tennis, there can only be two brands – Nike and Adidas. With that being said, you should think carefully what brand suits you better. When choosing shoes, pick something that you are comfortable with.
• There will only be one ball. Professional tennis players do not “recycle” balls. The balls can only be used once because they tend to go bad after the game. Every game, you should get new balls so it will not affect your performance. It is a nice feeling hitting new balls, right?
