String tension, how tight or loose the strings are pulled in the frame, is just as important as what string you use in your tennis racket.
Q. How much does the tension in the string increase if we double the speed?
When the wave relationship is applied to a stretched string, it is seen that resonant standing wave modes are produced. So, if we double the tension the speed will increase 1.41 times or root (2) times.

Q. What happens if weight is greater than tension?
As tension depend upon weight not a mass. So tension would be greater in case of facing greater gravity even with smaller mass. As tension depend upon weight not a mass. So tension would be greater in case of facing greater gravity even with smaller mass.

Q. Does higher string tension give more control and spin?
Not necessarily. Because tighter strings produce less velocity, the ball will land shorter in the court. That is because, although the spin is not greater at higher tensions, the ball speed will be lower, so the ratio of spin to speed will be greater.
