088 How and When to Forfeit in Tennis

PLEASE NOTE THAT MY COMMENTS IN THIS EPISODE ARE REGARDING UNOFFICIATED MATCHES. IN OFFICIATED MATCHES AND TOURNAMENTS, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING LATENESS AND DEFAULTS APPLY. In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about something that … the bottom line is, it’s a matter of tennis etiquette, and I don’t think tennis etiquette is something that we hear too much about. We recreational players out there, whether we’re playing for fun or playing as part of a league, playing a tournament, we know that tennis etiquette is often just as important and impactful of what happens on the court as the rules. So in this episode, I’m going to talk a little about the rules and a lot about the etiquette of forfeiting a tennis match. GET THE SHOW NOTES: Hi, it's Kim! Thanks for listening!
