It’s not uncommon for tennis players to play in 4 different countries in 4 consecutive weeks. While we usually only think about how cool that is, we often forget to think about the logistics behind it. If you’re traveling around all the time, that means that you need to figure out how, when, and how much it will cost for you to go to those places. While most of us rely on our cars for transportation, professional tennis players cannot afford to spend hours and hours inside a car going from one place to another.

So how do tennis players normally travel? Players often choose different types of transportation depending on the level of the tournaments they compete in. Bigger tournaments usually offer local transportation, but players need to travel a little further to play those. On the other hand, smaller tournaments are often geographically closer to each other and require less traveling. In general, tennis players travel by plane (private jets, first-class, or economy), train, or car.
