Could I wear TAG Heuer with Heuer 02 movement while playing tennis?

To clarify:

- The watch is Carrera with Heuer 02 movement => it uses KIF anti-shock (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
- I'm an amateur tennis player.
- I wear the watch on non-dominant hand.

Assuming no damage to the watch during the match, it's only moved with my arms.

- Could TAG Heuer watch take all the shocks/moves happen during the match?
- If the watch stops ticking after the match even without any damage, is it warranty guaranteed or declined by TAG Heuer authorized service centre?

Thank you.

I wouldn't recommend it, Nadal wears a Richard Mille but that is properly designed for the job

Thanks for you advice, I know there could be risk, but I want to know the limitation of the watch, more specifically, the Heuer 02 movement.

I don't know specifically, but sudden repeated shocks to the watch are probably not a good idea.

That use case seems more like a mission for a quartz watch, or possibly a fitbit (or similar fitness-related wrist tool).

Whilst I wouldn’t wear an expensive mechanical watch (hand wound or automatic) mountain biking or working on the car (damage/grease/oil etc), I’d like to think it would easily survive a game of tennis on my non-dominant arm. I suppose being hit by a served ball could hurt it but other than that it should be ok.
