💡 Trivia The color of tennis balls was changed to look better on TV

[Beatriz9]

Neon yellow wasn’t always the hue of a tennis ball. Instead, they were either black or white, depending on the background of the tennis court. However, in 1972, the International Tennis Foundation introduced yellow tennis balls because research showed the color was more visible to TV viewers. Wimbledon continued to use white balls until 1986, when they adopted the yellow ball.
