How does temperature changes elastic properties of tennis ball?

If the weather is cold the ball may harden and become stiff, this makes the ball have less pop and results in a slower playing ball. If the weather is warm then the ball will become more elastic and bounce higher. If the ball is sat outside for extended periods of time the constant cooling and warming of the ball will cause the rubber to lose its form and become flat with no bounce.

Where do women tennis players hide the extra tennis ball?

Until recently there were "Bloomers" or tennis underwear that women wore under skirts but over their traditional underwear. The majority of these had elastic ball pockets on the back side that women put their extra ball in. Newer tennis skirts have spandex athletic shorts built into the skirt. Some also have ball pockets, however, most women simply store the ball up the leg of the shorts.
