As millions of Australians adapt to COVID-19 safe measures, the popularity in tennis continues to grow.

Even as active COVID-19 case numbers drop, restrictions ease and state borders reopen, it is still important to maintain a safety-first approach when on the tennis court.

TIPS FOR SAFE PLAY

• Avoid sharing equipment, such as tennis racquets and balls, where possible
• Bring your own water and towel
• Wash your hands before and after play
• Limit numbers on court and non-playing extras at organised sessions
• Maintain a physical distance of 1.5 metres at all times
• If changing ends, do so at opposite sides of the net
• Avoid touching your face while playing
• Touch racquets instead of shaking hands
• Clean any court equipment, such as nets or court sweepers, after playing
• Download the COVIDSafe app
• Refer to local guidelines, as these can differ between states and regions. Check with Member Associations for latest information
• Don’t forget to stay sun smart – that means applying sunscreen, wearing a hat and staying hydrated.
