The Tournament is a Great Sports Event
o Tennis comes with a bloodline of sportsmanship that few other sports can match. Even
though there are officials roving the courts, it is still an un-officiated sport!
1. Always give the benefit of doubt to your opponent on a close line call
? 2. Make calls against yourself, such as a double-bounce or touching the net while
the point is in progress
? 3. Call out the score every point
? 4. Congratulate your opponent on great shots
? 5. Parents – be good sports outside the court
? 6. And win or lose, end the match with a removal of hats and handshake at the
net.
