"We're not physical, the tennis players," Roger Federer said with a laugh a few
years ago, when he was asked who would win a boxing match between himself
and Rafael Nadal. "We don't like to touch each other."
Federer didn't know his joking response would soon become tennis' most
attractive calling card. Perhaps no other sport is better suited for the era of social
distancing than tennis. Forget six feet; now that most of us are baseliners, we're
happy to stay 78 feet apart and rally from one end of the court to the other.
By the time lockdowns had ended last year, the word about tennis was out; I
wasn't the only person who noticed that courts were busier. In November, the

percent from 2019, and participation was up 50 percent from the previous
quarter.
There can be no silver lining to a disease that has killed so many, of course, but
we should be happy if our sport makes people a little healthier and happier.
"The pandemic has helped us tell tennis' story," says USTA CEO Michael Dowse.
"Everything that was beneficial about it is more so now: It's safe, it's good for
socializing, it's good exercise."
How do we make this surge last? Dowse wants to guarantee there are enough
facilities and instructors to handle any influx. Last year the USTA committed funds
to try to help as many as possible stay afloat. The organization is also broadening
its promotions by encouraging people to participate in any way they can, and not
just through its programs.
"We want new players to know there are many ways to enjoy tennis," Dowse says,
"whether it's at a park, or a USTA league, or through cardio tennis. And that the
financial barrier doesn't have to be high. Sales for racquets under $50 have
jumped."
Veteran players may also have a new appreciation for the sport. I shi ed to
jogging when courts closed; when I came back to tennis, two things stood out.
First, the ball: Chasing it took all of the drudgery out of running, and kept me from
thinking, or worrying, about anything else. Second, my playing time. When you
do a solo exercise--running, swimming, biking--you don't need to meet up with
anyone. If you're like me, that can become an excuse not to do it at all. In tennis,

is motivating.
As Federer says, we don't have to make physical contact with our opponents. But
tennis gives us something else we need in these cloistered days: Someone to see,
and a game for us to play.
