What is the maximum length of the tennis racquet for professional play ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 29 inches

The racquet's size is the sole limitation. Its maximum length, including the handle, is 29 inches (73.66 cm), and its maximum breadth is 12.5 inches (31.75 cm).

  • A flat surface with strings crossed in crisscrosses must be the hitting surface.
  • Its maximum dimensions should be 11.5 inches (29.21 cm) in width and 15.5 inches (39.37 cm) in length.
  • A racquet's length is determined by measuring from the handle's butt to the head's tip.
  • The most common length is 27 inches, although the maximum length permitted in both professional and amateur tennis is 29 inches.
