Racquets were-a-flyin’ on some courts here at the State
Championships Friday. And not because anyone was angry or tossing them
around. One gentleman who shall remain nameless (you know who you are) was
actually hit in the forehead and slightly injured by his own racquet! It
seems a few folks might want try out the latest in grip tape. Until
then…What happens if my racquet or my doubles partner’s racquet slips to the
ground (or worse) during play? Do we stop and play a let?
Here’s
the call: As long as the racquet does indeed slip, and is not deliberately
thrown in a fit of anger, it is not sufficient reason to call a let. Since
this happens frequently enough during tennis matches, play merely continues
without interruption.
Hang on
tight, and be safe out there everyone. |
