Once you get it, it can always come back. Do what i do:
1) Wear an elbow strap !
2) Use "soft" strings (multifilaments)
3) Use a racquet with a stiffness under 70
4) Strenghthen your forearm and wrist with exercise using a squeezing device.
5) Do bicep curls with weights, they strengthen your forearm.
If you get it bad, you have to stop cold turkey for 2 months, I learned that the hard way. If you keep trying to play with bad pain it never heals.
tennis elbow is inflammation of the tendons attached at the elbow. It is also called tendonitis.
This is a very helpful site. It explains the condition, the causes and what you can do for treatment and how to avoid it recurring.
Good luck.
