"The tennis elbow, one of the most common diseases in tennis is probably also one of the easiest to treat with acupuncture and cupping. It shows a success rate of about 90%. Another name for tennis elbow is epicondylitis. It is due to constant over rotation of the wrist and forearm, which of course is why it is called tennis elbow, since this is one of the basic movements in tennis.Acupuncture tennis elbow treatment works effectively in this condition because it works towards improving the blood flow in the area and also the entire body, in an attempt to provide permanent relief from pain and to decrease effectively inflammation."
Famous Tennis PlayerLleyton Glynn Hewitt (born February 24, 1981, Adelaide, Australia), is a former World No. 1 tennis player from Australia. His career best achievements are winning the 2001 U.S. Open and 2002 Wimbledon men's singles titles. Hewitt is known for his competitiveness on the court as well as battles with the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) off court. Hewitt has been fined on one occasion for not attending a press conference.
Hewitt wins most of his matches with relentless aggression, fitness, consistent shots, and highly skilled footwork. His serve improved greatly in 2004 and 2005. Hewitt spent much time in the late stages of 2004 working with his coach Roger Rasheed on bulking up his physique. His hard work paid off after he made it to the final of the 2005 Australian Open, before falling to Marat Safin. Hewitt is considered among the top players of the past 10 years. He is well supported by the Australian cheer squad The Fanatics.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Hewitt might well have followed in the footsteps of his Australian rules football-playing father. Instead, he became one of the youngest winners of an ATP tournament when, as an almost unknown youngster, he won the 1998 Adelaide International, defeating Andre Agassi in the semifinals. Only Aaron Krickstein winning Tel Aviv in 1983 and Michael Chang winning San Francisco in 1988 were younger when claiming their first ATP title. Over the next two years, Hewitt surged in the world rankings and on November 19, 2001, he became the youngest male ever to be ranked number one (20 years old). He stayed No. 1 until June 16, 2003, a streak of 64 weeks. After two weeks of being No. 2, he returned as No. 1 for four weeks. Since then, his highest ranking has been No. 2. Hewitt's intense demeanour on court and characteristic shouts of "COME ON!" when winning a crucial point have won him detractors as well as fans. During this time, he developed a "bad boy" reputation. After winning a Davis Cup match, when Yevgeny Kafelnikov had vowed to teach Hewitt a lesson, the latter said he'd enjoyed "sticking it to somebody who mouths off." In January 2000, while competing in a home town event, he played against a fellow townsman. Upset after being heckled by members of the crowd when he disputed a line call, Hewitt claimed that he could not believe some people in the crowd were cheering for his opponent against him. "It's weird, but I think that's just the stupidity of the Australian public; you always knock the better players," Hewitt said. A month later, the readers of Australian sports magazine, Inside Sport, rated Hewitt Australia’s least admired sports person.

Tennis Player Girl
VERO BEACH -- Competitive tennis can wreak havoc on a player's nerves, and countless books have been written on how to best master the sport's mental challenges.
While Vero Beach standout Natalie Collins admits to reading one such book -- "Mind Games" -- she has experienced few anxious moments on the court in four years of varsity tennis.
She never lost a high school match to a Treasure Coast opponent. She won a state doubles title in 2007 and was a runner-up this year in state singles competition. And she cites her calm disposition as an asset that enabled her to become one of the best players ever to come out of this area.
"When I play under pressure, I don't have any fear of losing," Collins said. "I just go for it more."
It's that attitude that helped make Collins the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers' girls tennis Player of the Year -- for the fourth straight time.
Some might think opponents would resent Collins for all the beatings she has handed out. However, her high school coach, Theresa VanDerMolen, said she probably will be remembered more for her quiet and polite court demeanor and the grace with which she won.
"She doesn't get into those head games that most tennis players do," VanDerMolen said. "She's just a friendly competitor on the court."
Collins said she began playing tennis at age 9, and it was the only sport she ever concentrated on. She credits much of her success to her father, Tom, a former local tennis pro.
Having confidence in her game, she said, was every bit as important as maintaining her composure on the court.
"You can't go out there with an attitude," Collins said. "You have to go out there feeling relaxed and confident."

Enjoy but take care to protect your exposed skin from the sun. Skin cancer/melanoma, is on the rise and preventable.
Tennis PlayerAvoid mid-day play when rays are strongest and make an effort to protect yourself with clothing, hats, visors and sunscreen at other times. There are some great new athlete oriented sun-protective products on the market. Here are some personal favs:
For the Face:
Neutrogena Sport Face Sunblock Lotion SPF 70+. Florida sun tested by this fair editor. Avoid the eye area and wear sunglasses and a visor or hat. If you don’t want to wear a hat I recommend using a face stick to prevent the eye-sting that most liquid sunscreens deliver.
I burn easily so I like the high protection rating of this formulation but do use a facestick myself. Although they leave a bit of a residue on your skin (unlike the lotion above which soaks right in) the facestick formulations below stay put and don’t run. 
Tennis PlayerTop-ranked Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Roger Federer won in straight sets to advanced to the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open on Wednesday.
Nadal beat Karol Beck of Slovakia 6-1, 6-2, and Federer defeated Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-3, 6-3.
"I am happy because it was an important win," said Nadal, who was broken once but took advantage of 27 unforced errors from Beck.
"Yesterday, I played good and today also I played good."
"I can't say if I am close to my best," added Nadal, who won both the French Open and Wimbledon in 2008.
"You can never tell whether you are at your best. You can never tell about your level."
The top-ranked Spaniard will next play fifth-seeded Gael Monfils of France on Thursday.

Tennis PlayerFederer was also broken once, but the 13-time Grand Slam champion from Switzerland still managed to beat Seppi, who committed 31 unforced errors - two more than Federer, who will play Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany.
"It was a little difficult out there because he is a tough, steady player," Federer said.
"There were no free points, but I am happy to have a good outing."
Andy Roddick edged Arnaud Clement of France 6-3, 7-5 and will now play Victor Hanescu of Romania.
Andy Murray, who lost to Federer in last year's US Open final, defeated Philipp Petzschner of Germany 6-2, 6-4 and will take on Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine. The fourth-ranked Briton broke Petzschner twice in the first set and once in the second.
"I started really well, created chances on his serve," Murray said.
"He was unpredictable at the start, but I managed to get ahead and keep my momentum and that always helps." Unlike Nadal and Federer, Murray was not broken in the match.

Ladies, don’t be scared of tennis because you have to choose a racquet. This is the most important piece of equipment in the tennis world aside form the net and the ball, so it pays to make sure that you’re really picking the right racquet for your needs. One of the first things that you need to think about is your budget. If you’re serious about playing a lot of tennis, you will need to invest in a high quality racket.
This doesn’t necessarily mean getting a racket that is very heavy — that’s more for advanced players that can control the weight effortlessly and still create a powerful swing. You will most likely want a racquet that feels light enough to move around but heavy enough to still be able to propel the ball forward down the court.
If you’re new to tennis, you might not realize where the power in the racquet actually comes from. The truth is that it comes from the head size as well as how flexible the frame is. A large tennis racquet can feel clumsy in a woman’s hand, which means that you might want to train with a smaller racquet and then move your way up. The racquet size that you’ll want to look for in tennis stores is generally around 85-95 square inches. This is more than enough space on the racquet to be able to drive the ball while still having proper control and form.

TennisIndeed, form is something that women tennis players need to pay attention to. Although we live in a society that values equality, you will still need to make sure that you really take your time to work on your tennis game with your body’s own strengths and weaknesses. If you assume that you can play just like a man, you may make mistakes in your form that could cripple your game. Men and women’s bodies are made differently, which is why the sport is divided into separate-gender arenas. That’s just the way it is, but it’s really not a bad thing — you get to see how you fare against other women.
Overall, you will need to really take the time to consider a few different tennis racquets before you make your final decision. If you have a chance to walk into a sporting goods store and feel each one that you’re interested in, that’s even better. It’s just a matter of making sure that you spend real time looking at all of your options — that’s the best way to go!
