Tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually grass, clay, or a hardcourt of concrete and/or asphalt. The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 ft (10.97 m) for doubles matches.[21] Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts and 3 feet (914 mm) high in the center.[21]

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial enrolled 45 patients with elbow tendonitis or "tennis elbow" across two centers. Patients received either an injection of ALGRX 4975 or placebo preceded by an injection of a local anesthetic into the site of pain. With the average duration of symptoms for tendonitis patients being six to 12 weeks, pain scores were monitored for 12 weeks following the single dose of ALGRX 4975 or placebo.
