Tennis in Toronto, like in any big city, brings hundreds of people to the courts. It is a sport for which not only renting tennis rackets and renting a tennis court are important, but also the players’ restraint.
Most of the rules have to do with tennis balls. Any viewer who has ever watched a tennis tournament, noticed that the balls are removed from the field by court staff, who are called boll-boys. It is compulsory for players: a new serve may be started only after the lost ball has been removed from the court. Strict observance of this rule is dictated not only by ethical considerations, but also by the safety of the players. Anyone who violates this rule is disrespectful to the staff and the opponent.
During amateur play, renting the court, the price of which may be divided between the two participants, also involves renting or buying a basket of balls. It is customary that this service is paid for by the one who initiated the encounter. If, by misunderstanding, the ball hits the opponent, he is entitled to expect an apology. Although such a hit is not the cause of serious injury, but it is quite unpleasant.
Marina Tennis Club reminds players that it is unacceptable to send the ball toward the opponent when he is not ready for it. If a tennis player misses a ball during an amateur game, he must immediately remove it from the field. You can put the equipment in your pocket to use the next time you serve. Sometimes a ball from a neighboring court gets on the court. In this case, you must wait for the opponents to play the point and then return the inventory. If your own ball flies out of the court and into the neighboring court, it can be retrieved only after the neighbors have played the point. It is worth apologizing if the ball has become an obstacle to play.
RULES RELATED TO RACQUETS
Tennis requires professional equipment, so the rent of rackets for table tennis and big game should be stipulated in advance. You can come to the court with your own racket or buy it in the sports center. Marina” club (Kiev) offers a wide range of sport equipment for beginners and experienced athletes. With a racket there are also a few rules that must be followed during the game.
– It is advisable to have a spare racket. If the string breaks, the head breaks or the handle is deformed, it is necessary to replace the equipment and continue playing. It is possible to demonstrate affection for your opponent by sharing a spare racket, if necessary.
– After replacing a racket, do not rely on test strokes to test the inventory. This will delay a game that has already been interrupted.
– Any deliberate delay of play is unacceptable. It is not acceptable to pound the ball on the court in preparation for the serve, or to slow down. This indicates that the player has poor control of himself and cannot cope with the pace set by the opponent.
– Unprepared to serve, the opponent indicates by raising the racket. In this case it is strictly forbidden to serve.
– Do not throw the racket on the court, overreacting emotionally to a loss or your own mistake. Restraint is the main rule of any tennis player.
TENNIS DRESS CODE
All I’ve got to do is pass as an ordinary human being. Simple. What could possibly go wrong?
One of the strictest dress codes for athletes at the Wimbledon tournament. The competition rules spell out the requirements that apply to clothing and footwear. All items must be white. Violation of this rule, even in small things, can lead to disqualification of the athlete. Underwear, sneaker soles, and accessories must be white.
Since 2014, the clothing requirements for players of the most prestigious tournament have become stricter. The organizers believe that some sports brands, by placing their colorful logos on the clothing of famous tennis players during the game, are trying to promote their own brands. The Wimbledon tournament has a very negative attitude toward such advertising campaigns. In 2015, one of the tournament participants Nick Kirios (he was the world’s number one junior tennis player and had won six ATP tournaments) bought a Wimbledon branded headband from a brand store. The referee demanded that the accessory be removed or turned inside out so that all his clothes would be white. It happens that the referee even demands that you change your underwear, which is translucent through your clothes.
In amateur tournaments, the rules are less strict. Tidy appearance implies avoiding too colorful clothes, beachwear and shorts. White clothing is also preferred by professional tennis players. Court rentals often assume that athletes will come with their own equipment. Here the racquet covers can be any color, with bright logos.
Trouble with clothes and shoes (unbuttoned shoelaces or unzipped zippers) happens to everyone, but always put off solving the problem until after the draw. If the shorts have become wet from profuse sweating, the ball is not put in the pocket. From the absorbed moisture it becomes heavier.

SELF-CONTROL FOR A TENNIS PLAYER IS A SIGN OF GOOD MANNERS
One of the first rules of etiquette, which the coach reminds of, is self-restraint during the game. A violent display of emotion is not accepted on the court. But athletes should remember that tennis is often called the game of aristocrats. That means that controlling emotions and experiencing defeats must be royal. There are several norms that are important to follow.
– While serving, you must not distract your opponent by talking, making comments, or talking to the audience.
– After losing a serve, a real tennis player remains calm. The highest etiquette is to applaud your opponent after assessing the hit.
– You should not rejoice at your opponent’s failures and misses. Fortune is fickle, and you must behave with dignity in any situation.
– Especially difficult to play in a pair, if the partner is a beginner. It is not customary to be offended by constant misses, because the novice athlete and so feel insecure in their own abilities.
– The official rule of MARINA TENNIS CLUB: No smoking on the courts.
– At the end of the game it is customary to shake hands at the net. At this point you can celebrate your partner’s good play if victory is on his side.
– Obvious advantage of the opponent, as well as too low level of training can not be a reason for early termination of the game. It is necessary to play to the end, trying to be worthy both with an inexperienced beginner and with a professional who has a brilliant technique.
