minus-squareBadlyDrawnRhino @aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·16 hours 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-up25·16 hours 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-up6·9 hours agoThere’s also all the activity on the practice courts too.
minus-squarerants_unnecessarily@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 hours agoMy first thought as well. This seems to be missed by… everyone here.
minus-squareGrail@multiverse.soulism.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·14 hours agoThat’s still about 100 balls per match
minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·13 hours agoTrue but if I’m seeing this correctly and a match may consist of 3 (5?) sets of 6+ games of 4 points, that’s already 72+ (120?) balls.
minus-squareGrail@multiverse.soulism.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·12 hours agoThat’s a new ball every serve
minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 hours agoYes. I know. That was my original question.
