G.O.A.T.
TT seems to be a male-dominated forum (not that there's anything wrong with that!). All the talk of racket-throwing around here got me thinking.
In all of the social and USTA matches I have played, not once has any player thrown a racket. I have seen a dropped racket very infrequently (it usually appears to be inadvertent). I can't even recall someone hitting the net or fence hard with their racket.
I can recall one instance of ball abuse, where my partner lost her serve and whacked a ball hard over the net. Our opponents were offended, and I was mortified. It just seemed unspeakably rude.
How common is this sort of thing really?
Cindy -- who uses a discontinued racket and would never risk breaking it
