How long does the average high school tennis match last?

There are no time limits, and There are breaks after every odd number of games played (1,3,5,7...) Theres also a break after every set.

The match length depends on your skill. If You arent really great, your opponent may beat you rather quickly (or vice versa).

As for muscles, you use arm muscles the most (biceps...), same with thighs.

The average high school match lasts about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes depending on the skill level between both players. High school matches are usually best 2 out of 3 sets.

My first varsity match (I was a freshmen at the time) was a scrimmage against a senior. Ironically we both were playing with the same racket. The match lasted close to 3 hours long. All 3 sets went to a tiebreaker. I lost the match but had fun.

My teammate had a match that took 4 hours long. He had to give a speech at an awards ceremony right after the match and barely made it in time.

There aren't really time limits unless its getting dark out.

There are breaks when players switch sides of the court every odd game. This usually lasts 30 seconds to a minute.

I'm not sure but I think every muscle is used in tennis.

Match time varies based on play style and play level. And in some cases, like Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic, habbits. I mean seriously, I hear Djokovic averages 13 bounces per serve, and once NBC counted and it was 16 bounces. And Nadal, jeez, what does he NOT do to stall? He even got warned for it.

If a very good AND consistent player goes against a soso inconsistent player, the match should go by pretty quickly, in around 30-45 minutes. If two consistent baseliners play, it could take as long as 2 or 3 hours for a best of 3 set match, maybe even a best of one set match if they don't have very powerful serves because the points can take 2 or 3 minutes, or however long it takes to hit 40+ strokes. If two serve and volleyers play, one point can take as little as 5 seconds even if the serve was returned. For serve and volleyers points might average around 10-20 seconds because they finish points fast from winning the point with a volley or getting passed. Consistent baseliners wait for errors and can rally for hours without making mistakes, so their points can average several minutes. Agressive baseliners are like the in-between, since they try to finish points quickly with power but still make several errors. Their points can average 30 seconds to a minute. Chances are they will make a mistake or finish the point by the 10th stroke.

Of course, at the high school level, which is pretty low, people won't even make it that long. There probably aren't many serve and volleyers, and they probably aren't great at it either, so they will average maybe 20-40 seconds a point. Agressive baseliners will average maybe 20-40 seconds per point since they probably will make a mistake by probably the 5th or 6th stroke. And the consistent baseliners probably won't last more than 2 minutes. Also, the rally probably won't go that long since the other player probably would've made a mistake more than a minute before that.

Generally I'm guessing a high school tennis match will average one hour to one and a half hours. The longest will probably be a two hour match. I doubt high school players are good enough to make a match last more than two hours, even if they are both consistent baseliners, unless they dink the ball in all day.

There aren't time limits in tennis. But there are times where a match has to be stopped due to time. Sometimes places have to have all players out by a certain time, generally sunfall. So the umpires, or in this case a coach or someone that will come to notify everyone, will tell the players to stop after a game, and continue the match the next day. This also happens with rain delays. The umpires at Wimbledon or Rolland Garros will stop a match if it is raining, but usually after the current game is finished, then resume the match when the rain stops or sometimes the next day. So there is no real time limit to a tennis match.

There are breaks. How many depends on how long the match goes on. In a way, there are breaks throughout the entire match, between points, games, and sets. But the real official breaks are during the changeovers. That is when the players change courts. This happens when the score is odd, like 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, 4-1, 5-2 and so forth. There are also breaks between sets. Those are the only official breaks. However, changeovers during tiebreaks are not breaks. You can go get a sip of water since it's right there, but that's it. As to how long, I am not 100% sure. Maybe 5 minutes. Time it yourself when you watch a life tennis match on television. That is when they put on the commercials.

The major muscle groups, I am not 100% sure. You use your rotator cuff, your wrist, the elbow (basically the entire arm), the core (the abdominal and so on), and your legs. The only muscle groups I am sure about are the legs (thighs and *** included). Tennis is more about rotation than muscling the ball. That's why tennis players can be so thin and hit so hard. It's about speed, not muscle. Working out the muscles won't really improve your shots, but it will improve the endurance of your muscles to keep doing those shots. Tennis professionals work out, that is obvious, but they aren't as big as other sport professionals. You turn your shoulders and swing the arm and use the legs for power, you also use your body weight in a way I can't describe well. Generally if your weight is more forward, the shot will penetrate more and have a bit more power. If it's on the back foot, it will be higher and more lobbed. If it's even distributed it's an in between. A nice, somewhat high (good clearance) ball that had good power and penetration. If you want more pace on your strokes, swing faster. Also, putting more weight on the racket helps. Buffing up won't really help. The most important thing you should want to improve if it isn't your strokes, is your footspeed. The more balls you can return, the higher your chances of winning the point. And that starts with getting to the ball. I can last longer than most people because I can chase many balls down.

If you still have questions, ask them.

Wow, I was going to answer but after seeing OversizedRacketsAreBadForY's snaswe, there's really no point! But I will answer anyway because I am bored...

In my High School, our tennis matches usually last about two to two and a half hours. There aren't any real breaks, just getting a drink of water between games. Limits in tennis? No, not as far as time there aren't! You use mainly your upper body muscles in tennis, but you do need to run around to hit the ball, so sometimes your legs may get sore as well as your arms after a rough match. I hope I helped a little.
