Data were collated by sex, injury region and type and reported as frequencies per 10\u2009000 game exposures. Incidence rate s\u00b1 95%\u2009CI and rate ratios were used to test effects for injury, sex and year.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Female players experienced more injuries than male players (201.7 vs 148.6). The shoulder (5.1\u00b11.1 injuries per year), foot (3.2\u00b11.1), wrist (3.1\u00b11.5) and knee (3.1\u00b11.1) were the most commonly injured regions among females. Knee (3.5\u00b11.6), ankle (2.3\u00b11.3) and thigh (2.3\u00b11.5) were the most prevalent male injuries. Upper arm injuries and in-event treatment frequency increased by \u22652.4 times in both sexes over the 5-year period. Muscle injuries were most frequent. There was a greater than twofold increase in men and women with stress fractures over the 5-year period. The torso region, including the neck, thoracic spine, trunk and abdominal, lumbar spine, hip and groin, pelvis\/buttock, attracted high in-event treatment frequencies in both sexes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Investigation of injury at the Australian Open suggests that females are more commonly injured than males. Upper and lower extremity injuries affected females while lower limb injuries were more prominent in males. There was an increasing rate of in-event treatments of upper limb and torso injuries as well as stress fractures during the observation period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-097283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,8]],"date-time":"2017-07-08T00:55:24Z","timestamp":1499475324000},"page":"1289-1294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Injury epidemiology of tennis players at the 2011\u20132016 Australian Open Grand Slam"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Danielle T","family":"Gescheit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stuart J","family":"Cormack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rob","family":"Duffield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Kovalchik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim O","family":"Wood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Omizzolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Machar","family":"Reid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2015-095552"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2012-091175"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2010.12.002"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6448a2"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-010-1094-4"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-1024930"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"826","DOI":"10.1249\/00005768-199506000-00006","article-title":"Injury surveillance at the USTA boys' tennis championships: a 6-yr study","volume":"27","author":"Hutchinson","year":"1995","journal-title":"Med Sci Sports Exerc"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"913","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2014-0329","article-title":"Consecutive days of prolonged tennis match play: performance, physical, and perceptual responses in trained players","volume":"10","author":"Gescheit","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Sports Physiol Perform"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/S1440-2440(03)80004-X","article-title":"Medical assistance at the Brazilian juniors tennis circuit \u2013 a one-year prospective study","volume":"6","author":"Silva","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Sci Med Sport"},{"key":"2024051412211286000_51.17.1289.10","unstructured":"Orchard J .
