I'm sure I'm not the only one, but those who do not share this pet peeve might find it hard to understand.
Just trying to get a feel of the average poster's opinion on this.
On changeovers, I always like to hand any remaining tennis balls (in my shorts' pockets) to the upcoming server when we meet at the net.
My pet peeve is when the other player scatters the ball to the back fence instead of doing the same (when I am the upcoming server).
And, sometimes the ball scattering is performed with an imperiousness and insolence ( this is subjective)
Less disrespectful is when the player drops the ball at the service line.
Overall, though, I think it's courteous to hand the balls over at the net.
I've observed that when the other player lose a highly contested game, the ball scattering happens more
So am I in the minority here?
