How to Practice Tennis Etiquette

Much of the etiquette surrounding tennis is rooted in the honor system, and in the sport's high level of sportsmanship.

• STEP 1: Read and follow the specific rules posted at the tennis site.
• STEP 2: Bring an extra racquet and a new can of balls, anticipating broken strings and lost balls.
• STEP 3: Don't interrupt games on neighboring courts for any reason. Wait until a point is over to walk past a court or retrieve a ball.
• STEP 4: Wait until your opponent is ready to receive before serving.
• STEP 5: Call a "let" if a ball from another court interrupts play.
• STEP 6: Make all line calls promptly and accurately; never challenge a call made by your opponent or partner.

Tips

• Being courteous to neighboring players and opponents can only add to the enjoyment of your tennis match.
