Yo!

 

@T, lol, I'm asking you, lol.

Iron

@all, sotw is up

 

Hey Slash!

that pics is from practice. no one is there to provide her with fresh balls (other than her coach maybe).

as I type this I'm thinking that it just doesn't sound right?

during a match, they don't want to have the ball boy toss over a new ball every time the miss a first serve. I've never seen a loose ball on the court ... not sure how they'd handle.

 

Ah, I knew there had to be some reason. I suppose it'd only work in shorts and not skirts anyway

 

from the interwebs:

Match Etiquette

During formal matches and professional level play, it is typically at the discretion of the serving player if he would like to hold a second ball in his pocket. Since formal matches and professional play almost always have ball boys present, it is not necessary to hold a second ball (since the ball boy can hold it for you and have it ready at all times), although many players do so anyway, as a matter of personal preference.


Second Ball Rules

Formal match play has strict rules concerning second balls.
According to the USTA rules and regulations, if you do choose to hold a second ball in your pocket, whether during a formal match or an informal game, a point is called "let," or dead, if the ball should happen to fall out of your pocket. A let or dead point means that the point is replayed from a first serve, regardless of what might be happening when the ball falls out.

Thanks for the color change request, Inuk

 

Maybe I should try for you at [email protected]

 

they also have pockets in tennis skirts to carry the extra ball.

just remember if your balls fall out during a match, stop playing!

 

Dude. If my balls fall out FOR ANY FUCKIN REASON. I wont need a rule book to tell me to stop everything else....

 

why would I care about that ... Ana will be at the 2 tournaments that I'm going to - my local tournament & the US Open.

 

very nice of you to try and defend your fuckwit buddy!

 

Probably but it's not a reason to miss such respect to a person! Clearly you're "going down" (the forum too imo).

 

... and if you are playing on a claycourt, brush off any clay dust before returning your balls.

LOL

 

Bof... I'm off. There are times I can't endure this place for real... and it's since my first ban.

I'm officially taking a break of the place!

 

Slash you have no clue. If you did, you'd agree with me.

I'm not going down, I'm maintaining a standard so that cool people can hang here and feel comfortable. It's not about me and Wozzie, there is way more to it.
