as long as followed by either present simple or continuous

[Dominik92]

Hello, I wonder if these sentences using present simple following as long as are idiomatic:

1) As long as I don't play I have the time for preparation. (Context: I haven't played (a pro tennis match) for one month and may not play for another couple of weeks due to my injury when saying this)
2) As long as you wear this jacket, you will not get rained on. (Context: I enter the classroom where my teacher is waiting for me, it has been raining for a while and she comments on what I am wearing)
3) As long as he plays this well, he will win the match. (Context: The match has been going on, I am telling this prediction to one of my friends after my favourite player is starting to play better and better)

Why am I asking? Well, what would be the difference if, in the contexts I provided you with, I changed the present simple to present continous?

1) As long as I'm not playing I have the time for preparation. (Context: I haven't played (a pro tennis match) for one month and may not play for another couple of weeks due to my injury when saying this)
2) As long as you are wearing this jacket, you will not get rained on. (Context: I enter the classroom where my teacher is waiting for me, it has been raining for a while and she comments on what I am wearing)
3) As long as he's playing this well, he will win the match. (Context: The match has been going on, I am telling this prediction to one of my friends after my favourite player is starting to play better and better)

Is it just stylistic difference? Is it about what I put an emphasize on? Maybe each of the tenses may change the whole context of the sentence? Is that even possible? Will appreciate any help with these. Thank you very much!

Hello. I wonder if these sentences using the present simple following after "as long as" are idiomatic:

1) As long as I don't play, I have the time for preparation. (Context: I haven't played (a pro tennis match) for one month and may not play for another couple of weeks due to my injury when saying this.)
2) As long as you wear this jacket, you will not get rained on. (Context: I enter the classroom where my teacher is waiting for me; it has been raining for a while and she comments on what I am wearing.)
3) As long as he plays this well, he will win the match. (Context: The match has been going on already started; I am telling expressing this prediction to one of my friends after my favourite player is starting has started to play better and better.)

Why am I asking? Well, what would be the difference if, in the contexts I provided you with, I changed the present simple to the present continuous?

4) As long as I'm not playing, I have the time for preparation.
5) As long as you are wearing this jacket, you will not get rained on.
6) As long as he's playing this well, he will win the match.

Is it just stylistic difference? Is it about what I put an emphasize the emphasis on? Maybe each of the tenses may change the whole context of the sentence. Is that even possible? Will I would appreciate any help with these. Thank you very much!

First, please note my corrections above. You have some issues with punctuation.

I don't really know what sentences 1 and 4 are supposed to mean. What do you have time to prepare for?

Sentences 2 and 5 broadly mean the same but 2 concentrates more on the outcome of you wearing the coat regularly, and 5 concentrates on what happens during the exact times you wear the coat.

Sentences 3 and 6 don't work for the context. If the match has already started, you'd say "As long as he carries on playing this well, he'll win the match".

More time to practice while I am injured. The things I can practice despite the injury.

I mean that I have more time to practice while I am injured. There are things I can practice despite the injury.

Please remember to write complete sentences on the forum.

For that context, I wouldn't use "as long as" at all. I'd say "At least I can still practise while I'm too injured to play a competitive match" or something similar.

Note that BrE uses "practise" as the verb and "practice" as the noun.
