How long does a tennis ball last?

A tennis ball may deteriorate for a number of reasons, including usage (i.e., being hit) and the environment (i.e., heat and humidity). Left alone, a tennis ball would, eventually, lose air through osmosis of the rubber core and felt coverings. When struck, the air is forced out little by little. Heat forces air to escape more quickly, and the effects of humidity and being struck wear out the felt covering, as well as causing tiny cracks and holes in the felt and rubber from which air will escape.


How does the fuzziness of tennis ball affect the friction of the tennis ball?

The fuzziness of the ball gets grip from the surface and the felt rubs the surface of the court and thus causes friction. The denser the felt, the more friction and grip. The fuzz helps improve the friction, which makes spin more important in a match. It makes the ball slower, and in turn the rallies will be slower. This is why in most ATP tennis tournaments, the balls are changed every seven to nine games.
