- Bumps on the Court: Bumps, cracks or holes in the tennis court can lead to tripping or twisting.
- Wrong shoe choice: Wearing unsuitable tennis shoes can increase the risk of ankle injuries.
- Overload: Intensive training without adequate rest can lead to fatigue and an increased risk of injury.
- Inadequate warm-up: Inadequate pre-game warm-up can affect ankle flexibility and stability.
