If dizz were playing a 3.5 woman in singles, then he should probably hold back a little, but that is not the case here.

I don’t believe chivalry should be disregarded just because I’m playing a competitive match. I try to be a gentleman both off & on the court. As a 4.0M with a big serve I have plenty of opportunities to hit hard body serves at women playing too close to the service line. I choose not to because:
1) I wouldn’t feel good about myself if I hit a woman.
2) I honestly don’t need to use my serve to intimidate the woman in order to get easy points. I can hit aces & service winners with relative ease already.
Dizz, can you honestly say you have no qualms at all about hitting that woman twice? If you hit her with flats, she MUST have 2 significant bruises.
