minus-squareBadlyDrawnRhino @aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·2 months 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-up31arrow-down1·2 months 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-squareGrail@multiverse.soulism.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·2 months agoThat’s still about 100 balls per match
minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·2 months 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.
