COURT ETIQUETTE
Court Etiquette in
Tennis In tennis, it is extremely
important to be courteous towards our partner, our adversaries and the
players on the adjacent courts. Here is a list of major court etiquette
principles in tennis. 1) Never walk on a court in
the middle of a point. Wait until the point is finished and only then can you
walk behind the baseline to get to your court.
2) Avoid talking or yelling
at a player during play. As a spectator, do not talk to a player involved in
a match. Wait till the end of the match. 3) If a ball from an
adjacent court rolls inside your court, wait until the point on the court
next to you is finished before returning the ball to one of the players. If
the ball disturbs play on your court, you can play a let and return the ball
to the adjacent court. 4) Move the balls on your
side of the net away from your court before your opponent begins to serve. 5) If your opponent serves
up a fault, do not retrieve the ball before the second serve. Wait till the
point is over before returning the ball. In addition, do not return a first
serve when it is clearly out. 6) Avoid conversations. It
can annoy your opponent and the players on the adjacent courts. 7) The player is
responsible for the line calls on his side of the net. It is always
preferable to call a ball "in" that is "out" then to call
a ball "out" when the ball is inside the lines. The correct call is
good even if the ball catches the outside of the line. When in doubt, call it
"in". 8) Avoid misunderstandings
and call every serve. If you and your opponent can not agree on the mark, the
final decision falls unto the player who was on the side of the net of the
close call. 9) When the match is over,
thank your partner and your opponents whether you win or lose. Always shake
your partner and your opponents’ hands.
