Watch for the February edition of the JMST. It is a very special issue because the “Review Section” features a long awaited article in the Tennis Medicine field: “Consensus Statement on Epidemiological Studies of Medical Conditions in Tennis”. This project was coordinated by Dr. Babette Pluim and hosted by the ITF and represents a true collaboration between all the different stakeholders in tennis.

Tennis is a demanding sport physically, mentally and emotionally. We do know a lot about the inherent demands of tennis, in terms of forces, velocities, ranges of motion, and amount of tennis play. We also know some about the musculoskeletal base, in terms of maladapations.

This conference will specifically focus on the serve, the predominant stroke in today's tennis, accounting for 45% in French Open and 60% in Wimbledon of strokes during service games.

This conference allows the participants not only to learn form, but also ample time to engage in personal discussion with some of the best experts in the world in these fields. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy this conference.
