Tennis is an extraordinary but demanding sport: it requires speed, explosive movements, sudden changes of direction and a high level of technical repetitiveness. It is no surprise that, especially among competitive players and committed amateurs, injuries are frequent and often linked to overload or biomechanical errors.
For this reason, the Isokinetic Centre in Verona, as now happens twice a year, organized an afternoon of in-depth discussion dedicated to the main topics related to the treatment and prevention of tennis injuries.
A day made even more special by the atmosphere of excitement being felt these days in the world of Italian tennis: with Italy’s victory in the Davis Cup, the tennis movement is more alive than ever.
The event took place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, recording excellent attendance and active engagement from the participants.
Between sports medicine, rehabilitation and technical discussion
Opening the session were contributions from two key figures in Sports Medicine at Isokinetic Verona.
Dr. Luigi Tota, Physiatrist and Case Manager of the center, presented a clear and up-to-date overview of the treatment and prevention of tennis injuries, analyzing the most frequent conditions linked to technical movements and the overloads typical of the sport.
This was followed by Matteo Azzini, Head of Rehabilitation at Isokinetic Verona, who illustrated the main rehabilitation criteria for managing the most common injuries in tennis players, focusing in particular on the role of functional assessment, load progression and a safe return to court.
A round table full of insights
The most dynamic moment of the meeting was the round table moderated by Gianluca Tavellin. Numerous questions were addressed to the clinicians and distinguished guests, including:
- Roberto Bagliardini, FITP Provincial Delegate
- Dr. Emanuele Brotto, Medical Director of Isokinetic Verona
- Lorenzo Fabiano, author
- Mariano Vantini, historic Veronese tennis player
The discussion highlighted several highly relevant technical aspects for injury prevention in tennis, such as the importance of avoiding static stretching before matches, and also offered lighter but meaningful moments thanks to historical anecdotes related to the Davis Cup.
The event paves the way for new insights dedicated to tennis, with the goal of continuing to promote prevention, safe performance, and multidisciplinary exchange between athletes and professionals.
