Wimbledon tennis balls are all stored at perfect room temperature​


All Wimbledon tennis balls are kept at 68 degrees Fahrenheit because the temperature of the tennis ball affects how it bounces, and all tennis balls must be kept as consistent as possible for competitive reasons.

When the ball is warmer, gas molecules inside the ball expand, which cause it to bounce higher. When it's cooler, the molecules shrink, and the ball bounces lower. To make sure the best tennis balls are used and the temperature is kept stable, Wimbledon goes through more than 50,000 tennis balls per year!

been playing tennis since 1982, sarap paluin talaga bagong bola lalo na yung kabubukas lang sa canister. I wonder lang gaano kadami nagagamot na bola the whole tournament.
