Southern Tennis Etiquette

My goodness. It's hot in the south still, and we're all geeked up about playing fall tennis. Fall tennis in Georgia basically means you still get to salvage a little of your summer sunburn, wear the tennis skirt you thought was sooooo cute when you bought it on sale at Sports Authority last spring and picture yourself winning that city plate in 9 weeks. Winter is so far away.

How do we ladies behave on the tennis courts? Oh my, we're polite! These are lovely courts. No, we didn't have any trouble finding it. I don't know if we've played you before, but I bet we had fun! You got up at 5 this morning with a teething baby? Bless your heart. Yes, I'm glad it's cooled off a bit. I heard it might get down to 75 tonight! That's a really cute visor...where did you get it? Oh, it doesn't matter which side - we'll just stay over here. Don't you just hate warm-ups? It really is a nice day today. You have to wear that knee brace the whole match? Bless your heart. We're just out here to have fun.

The first point of the game, you smash the ball at one of their faces because you thought she acted fake when you shook hands. It's such a pretty day.
