I played tennis against division 2 players 45 plus years has nothing to do with todays physical condition or level of play. When you reach the top of mountain at any level the only way down is down. I played guy that beat Johnny Mac in juniors his kick serve was above my head it I stood at base line on clay. After he beat Johnny Mac said Mac broke every racket he had, when he beat me I didn’t break my rackets cause the cost me money.

I am going to add one more cause for the relatively high rate of injures for PB. Long lines. A typical session is warm up (albeit 99% of players, in my estimation, give this important step short shrift), play a game, stand in line for a 5-15 minutes depending upon the crowds, and then jump immediately back into play. A recipe for injury if there ever was one.
