How do you get an ATP ranking in tennis?
Getting an ATP ranking in tennis isn't easy, it's a process that requires dedication and effort. First off, a player must participate in official ATP tournaments and perform well to earn ranking points. The better a player performs, the more points they collect. These points are then used to calculate the player's ranking, with the highest-ranked players having the most points. Keep in mind, you must be a professional player and a member of the ATP to earn a ranking.

What is the small thing that we put in our tennis rackets?
In our tennis rackets, we often place a small thing known as a vibration dampener. This little device is typically made of rubber and inserted near the bottom of the racket's strings. Its primary function is to absorb the shock caused when the ball hits the racket, reducing the vibration felt in the player's hand and arm. Not only does this help protect against injury, but it also enhances overall gameplay by providing a cleaner feel of the ball's impact. It's a small component, yet essential for any serious tennis player's kit.

Can a tennis match go on forever?
While it might seem like a tennis match could theoretically go on forever, in practice, this is highly unlikely due to the physical limitations of the players. However, there have been incredibly long matches, like the 2010 Wimbledon match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut which lasted for 11 hours and 5 minutes. But, since 2019, even Wimbledon has introduced a final set tiebreaker to prevent such marathon matches. So, while there's no definitive 'time limit', measures are in place to ensure matches don't go on indefinitely. The game's rules, combined with human endurance, essentially ensure that no match truly lasts forever.
