Tennis Medicine
“In my career, I have witnessed firsthand the key role that sports medicine has
had in both treating the injuries that I have had and preventing further injuries
from occurring. I am very happy that a book edited by Dr. Di Giacomo,
Todd S. Ellenbecker from ATP, and Dr. Kibler has been developed to further
the methods and education for sports medicine professionals who work with
tennis players to enhance their performance and prevent injuries. The
ability to have a long and extended career is very important to all players
and the advances in sports medicine are allowing this to happen for many
players throughout the sport of tennis. I have always worked closely with my
entire team including my doctors and physios who have assisted me in my
career and for whom I am very thankful for their great work.”

Foreword
This book highlights the key role sports medicine and sport science play in
the sport of tennis. As a former player, tournament director, and now an
Executive Chairman & President of the ATP, I have witnessed first-hand the
important role Medical Services plays in elite-level tennis. I have benefited
from the treatments and evaluations provided to me while playing that both
prevented further injury and allowed me to return to play. I have also worked
with tournament physicians, physios, and massage therapists while serving as
the Tournament Director for the ATP tournament at the Queen’s Club in
London, as well as the ATP Finals at the O2, for many years. The role they
play in facilitating player health and recovery, as well as injury and illness
management, is critical to the success of any tournament. Lastly, in my role
with the ATP, we have developed an extensive Medical Services department
providing critically important sports medicine and recovery care to our play-
ers on both the ATP World Tour and ATP Challenger Tour. It is hoped that the
information provided in this book by Di Giacomo, Ellenbecker, and Kibler
will advance the clinical knowledge of clinicians who work with tennis play-
ers and lead to continued improvements in player care.
