FELT
A tennis ball has rubber and felt, which is stuck on with an adhesive. For logos, black ink.
Tennis balls are typically made using a combination of rubber, felt, and wool. Minerals are not a primary component in the production of tennis balls.
No, a tennis ball does not have cells. It is made of a solid core of rubber or similar material covered in a felt or cloth outer layer. Cells are the building blocks of living organisms and are not present in inanimate objects like tennis balls.
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.
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.

The average lifespan of a tennis ball is typically around 2 to 3 weeks of regular use on court. Factors such as playing surface, frequency of use, and storage conditions can influence how long a tennis ball lasts. Over time, the felt on the ball wears down and the pressure inside the ball decreases, affecting its performance.
