Doing a few laps around the court at the start of a session is an excellent way to begin warming up. This gradual start raises body temperature, activates the cardiovascular system, and prepares the muscles for exercise.

Jogging around the court engages the entire body without placing it under excessive strain, while helping players regain a feel for tennis-specific movement. It is a simple but essential step for reducing the risk of injury and starting the session in good condition, with the body ready to accelerate, change direction, and hit a series of shots.
