However, it is widely accepted that stretching can help with recovery, increasing range of motion and injury prevention.
It is important to get your stretching routine in after the workout while the muscles are still warm.
Keep stretches gentle and slow.
Don’t bounce.
Breathe through your stretches.
If you feel pain, you’ve stretched too far.
Each stretch should be held for thirty seconds minimum to realize incremental gains.
You can repeat the stretches two to three times.
With top tennis players like Novak Djokovic showing off their range of motion, body control and shot making in compromised positions most of us can only dream of, I think its safe to say post match stretching should be on our to do list.

Because of the amount of physical stress you place your body under when you play tennis, stretching is an important weapon in your armoury when it comes to improving mobility, aiding recovery and reducing your risk of injury.
Tennis players should ideally stretch every day, and certainly every time before and after play.
Before play Aim for active or dynamic stretching ahead of playing tennis – this will ideally support and supplement the nature of the movements you’re likely to make on court, as well as stimulate blood flow before you play.
After play At this time, you should be winding down after playing with static stretches.
Examples include: Hamstrings Sitting down, stretch out your legs and reach for your toes.
Quadriceps Standing on one leg, grasp the other foot and bring it up to your gluteals.
Calf Leaning against a wall, put one foot out behind you, plant your heel and lean forward while keeping your planted leg straight.
