Tennis is a good sport for men and women to do together, UK survey finds

Last Updated on 15 March 2025 by Racket One

This was confirmed by 52% of surveyed players who regularly play tennis.

Survey results published by Tennis Europe show that tennis is an appealing sport for both young and old players, and for both men and women. Additionally, respondents who play tennis describe their hobby as challenging, social, and a good form of physical activity.

Interestingly, significant differences emerged between tennis players and non-tennis players not only in their attitudes towards the sport but also in their perceptions of their own health. Specifically, respondents who played tennis felt healthier on average than the other participants.
