Twisted my ankle playing tennis, heard a crack. can walk on the ankle. how do i know if it is broken?

See an Orthopedist: For definitive diagnosis you need an x ray. People who do sports regularly for an hour daily, have a high tolerance to pain., so it is very difficult to say is or is not broken without an x-ray. Recommend to see an orthopedic specialist..
