Why don’t tennis players wear cleats? I’m watching the Wimbledon, which is rare but just threw it on TV, and noticed that the players shoes don’t seem to give them a lot of grip. They make wide turns at high speed, and when they do make a sharp turn, I’ve seen them break traction a lot of times. One almost blew his knee out. And I think that it could’ve been solved with proper footwear.
I’ve done a quick google search and tennis shoes are coming up as flat bottom or with this little studs that are really suggestions. I wouldn’t be comfortable trying to sprint on grass with them. So what’s the idea?

It would ruin the grass surface.
As for amateur tennis: that’s mostly not played on grass. Flat shoes are better on all other surfaces tennis is played on.
