Can you play tennis in the rain?

Question

Can you play tennis in the rain?

Answer 1

Not really, you could slip and fall.  Also, the ball get drenched and it doesn't bounce at all.

Answer 2

Its a bit dangerous when the ground is soaked. You could play for a while, but you risk slipping, injuring yourself and ending your tennis life for long time.   Is it worth it? I'm a tennis addict, and its tempting for me, but c'mon, play smart and live to play another day.

Answer 3

Yes, the ball is heavier and most of the time I win (my opponents are my friends and trainer, they really don't like rains). Although it hurts my arms a little bit when I'm trying to do a flat forehand drive. Also, I usually play on hard courts so it is very slippery.

Answer 4

play inside?

Answer 5

depends do you mean you in a normal match, yes of course it is your choice however it is not very fun when you are wet, the ball is heavier and whenever you hit it water will spray out, also it could be easy toslip or the rain could be so hard it makes smoke come up of the floor

Answer 6

You can play in a light drizzle, but it will still make the ball heavy and soggy, and make the game 10x more strenious. Never play in a hard rain because the ball can brake your racket because of the rapid weight increase of it due to the rain, and like i said before it will just make it 10x harder.

Answer 7

You can but it's horrible!!! The ball doesn't bounce and you keep slipping! You pick up the ball and its all wet........Not very fun.

Answer 8

If puddles form, the ball will just splat and roll.

Answer 11

Yes but the ball be heavy with it being wet and you slip all the time
