She travels all over the world playing tennis.

Please, why don't we use "to play"  in this sentence?

 

Thank you

Hello Yann,

You could use 'to play ' but it has a different meaning.

She travels all over the world playing tennis. [She plays tennis wherever she is.]
She travels all over the world to play tennis. [The purpose of travelling is to play tennis.]
I hope it can help

 

Cheers
