Second Serve Tennis

When can you call a let? Is there a difference if your opponent's hat falls off versus their shoe falling off or dropping their racquet?
Carolyn and Mike, who are both attorneys and 4.0 players, review the rules regarding lets listed in Friend At Court 2020 and discuss whether they make sense.

How do you choose a tennis partner? Should you have similar goals? Is it better to choose someone that is not exactly like you on the tennis court? Do you mind if your partner drinks beer during a match?
We are excited to have Dave and Tom discuss how they started playing together and give advice to beginners on choosing the right tennis partner!
They won the 2019 Men's 3.0 55+ NC State Championship and made it to the Southern Sectionals Semi Finals, and they didn't even start playing until they were in they fifties.
They have a great rule they use on the court that is definitely a good idea for players at our levels, and they are hilarious!

Can playing adult recreational tennis help your health?
We really appreciate Nikki discussing how adult recreational tennis was beneficial for her health, and she even believes it helped save her life.
Nikki is a 4.0 who loves to play! She normally plays on 5-6 teams per season.
When she was 29 she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Over the next few years she was diagnosed with several other autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome and Hashimoto’s thyroid, and she was diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Even when she is pain she says she always feels better after she plays and it helps her both physically and mentally. If you have similar health issues and would like to talk with someone who has been through a similar situation you can contact Nikki at her email address (catloverd@att.net).
We love how grateful she is to be able to play, and it also made us realize that you never really know what someone is going through on the other side of the court.

What is the tennis etiquette before a match? What do you do when your ball rolls into another court?
In this episode we discuss the tennis etiquette involved prior to a match and when balls are rolling out of or onto your court from another court. One of the hosts even realized she was doing the wrong thing and they both believe a rule should be changed!
