In the United States, we measure the string tension in pounds and it generally ranges from about 35-70 lbs.
Low string tension offers a range of pros and cons
The pros of a lower tension include more depth, feel, spin and comfort.
The cons of a lower string tension include less control of the ball.
High string tension is just the opposite, offering more control of the ball and less depth/spin.
Most racquets come with a recommended tension range for that particular racquet.
For beginners and players who generate less depth on the ball, a lower tension would help give their shot an extra boost.
For players who are advanced and/or hit the ball with extreme pace, making the tension slightly higher will give their big strokes more control.

Finally, gravitational energy is the last main type of energy that affects tennis.
