For a tennis player, the arms and wrists link the lower body and torso to the racket, which is the last link before ball contact. If the arms and wrists are not strong or flexible, the power produced throughout the lower body and core will not efficiently transition into the ball. This results in reduced power and spin on the stroke. This article will outline exercises applied to tennis that can help not only to strengthen the wrists and forearms, but also to prevent injury in a vital area of the athlete’s body.
