TENNIS
& PICKLEBALL
Linda Horn
Tennis Tip of the Month
When someone else’s ball ends up on your court, wait until their point
is over to politely return the ball back. Let them know the ball is
on its way with a simple and audible “Ball Coming!” Whatever you do,
do NOT roll the ball back to them during a point. At best, it is distracting.
At worst, it can be a hazard to the unsuspecting player who steps on
that ball.
