End with a Handshake (or Fist Bump)
It's customary to approach the net after a match, win or lose, and offer a handshake or fist bump as a sign of respect. If you're unsure about what's appropriate, especially post-pandemic, a friendly wave or nod also works. This closing gesture is a simple way to show that you enjoyed the game and appreciated your opponent's time.
By following these etiquette basics, you not only show respect to your opponents and fellow players but also contribute to a positive and welcoming atmosphere on the court. Remember, tennis is as much about enjoying the game and connecting with others as it is about honing your skills. See you on the court—let's play with style and sportsmanship!
