I got TE from playing tennis. After many many months of searching on the Internet. I hope this comment can help another tennis player.

The answer is :

Stop playing immediately when your wrist start to hurt. Your elbow will be next when muscle start get tight and pulling your tendon. Rest for a few day.

If your wrist or elbow hurt again after a few days rest. Then you must do the following if you want to play tennis:

Equipment modification:

1. Don't play with stiff racket (less or equal than 63RA). Don't flirt around with light and power racket, they're stiff to better at power transfer and shock. I'm currently use Gravity MP. Smooth like butter.

2. Switch to softer string, try multi filament when you're recovering from TE. I use Velocity 17G now (take natural color for better spin) at 48 lbs first then now 52 that my elbow are getting better.

Don't get cheap on the equipment like i did ( dead poly + stiff frame). Racket and string is the first point of contact with tennis ball. Nothing else can protect you: dampener and shock absorber won't help much and give you false sense of clean ball contact, the elbow brace only works if you have minor injury but can cause muscle pain/numbness/dystrophy and only for short term.

Rehab:

1. Get the flexbar. Can't afford flexbar? start washing your bath tower by hand, same concept but flexbar is better. Follow the video but DONT do straight arm especially if you just start rehab. Keep the elbow bend first. You should feel tension but not pain. Pain is not good.

2. Keep playing tennis at slower pace like hitting ball with orange ball or use ball machine at slow speed. Don't play match! Trust me, it's not fun when you lose a match because elbow keep hurting. Tennis game is a mental game!

3. Cold ice for muscle but hot water for tendon. Try it out for yourself. Have you wonder why old people get joint pain when it's cold? Remember to microwave your elbow before playing tennis (just kidding).

4. Grab a massage gun, roller or just stretch. Tendon hurts because muscles pull it.

Technique: This is the hardest, no one will admit their technique is wrong. Step 2 -3 steps back to move forward.

1. Contact the ball IN FRONT and OUT of body. Sound vague? Work on using left hand for proper spacing and clean contact.

2. Don't grip the ball too tight. Search video about how tight to hold racket.

3. Don't arm the ball. It happens at faster pace without realizing it. Work on early preparation, split step, watch the ball closely

My case was playing with heavy flat hitter 5.0 made me slight late and therefore arming the ball + dirty ball contact.

Ajitesh Sinha says:

Hey there, does tennis elbow cause popping at the elbow when pronated or supinated?
About 2 weeks back I started experiencing constant popping at the elbow whenever I supinated my arm(I work all day on laptop). Whenever I supinate I feel a certain tightness opposing the supination and when I do supinate full I makes loud popping sound. After few days I started noticing pain in certain motions whenever it involved elbow on the lateral side. So if start doing that banded and hammer supination exercise, it's gonna aggravate it cause it will cause constant popping.

1. 2:22 Wrist Extensions (start palm down, curl dumbell straight upwards)
2. 3:04 Twist Bar Wrist Extension (start with bar twisted, curl one hand downward)
3. 4:32 Banded Supination (hold elastic band, twist palm up, slowly return)
4. 5:40 Hammer Supination (hold hammer/dumbell vertical, slowly rotate to horizontal)

1 wrist extension + 1 supination exercise per session, 3 x 10 reps, 3x/week (>24 hr rest in between).

Progressive overload (increase the reps, sets, or resistance) is recommended if no pain.

Sagar says:

If doing weight training for the specific extensor muscles caused the injury.
How will doing exercises that also target those muscles, help?
