Ball Management
Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand
or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting
for their opponent to find a ball to serve(发球).
Behavior & Attitude
Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or
look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you
play, so try to have fun and stay positive.
Pace
Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the
pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each
point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is
ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready
after making an attempt at returning the serve.
For Spetators(观众)
Cheering
While it is seen as proper etiquette(礼仪）to remain silent during the live play, loud and
spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate
the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a
high level when the crowd is actively involved.
Leaving and returning to your seat
During live play it’s expected that all spectators
will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看台) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other
audience.
Photography
The issue of camera shutter(快门) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but
luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the
noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography
should be avoided during live play.
