Depending on the courts and the people around, I do... but I also wear plenty of sunscreen. I won't take my shirt off to play during the high UV times... I play with my collar up :)

Oh, that's so very Texan of you. ;) As for the question, I do wear a shirt while playing (damn public decency laws).



Hahaha CC!!! I know what you mean about those decency laws...heheheh...but sometimes in the summer, I can get away with just a sports bra at my little court in the park...;)

With a shirt!

Why, not because of my bod, but because it opens the door for other guys to go shirtless. Man boobs and Big Mac Belly's are not attractive.

Welcome to my Kingdom! In my kingdom, playing tennis is acceptable both with or without a chest covereing garment. Hope that clears things up a bit

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Depends on the temp and humidity, and whether the courts allow it.

As for the tan... Playing without a shirt might not give you a bad farmers tan, *but* only your shoulders/neck will really get the sun (at least, this is the case with me, despite the fact that playing with a t-shirt gives you noticeable tan lines.. oh well).

I tend to do it, in the summer, when it's too hot, but at certain hours (betwen 8 am and 10 am, and after 4 pm). I tend to avoid playing shirtless on clay, because I dive a lot, and diving on a claycourt is painful as hell (way more than diving on a hardcourt) :p

Of course, I use lots of solar block

I always play with my shirt off, but it's only for the ladies. Once I left it on there was almost a riot at the courts.

Sigh - unfortunately I have to wear a shirt because the girls have to be on lock.

I would think a guy with a nice body would deter the big bellied men from taking off their shirts....

I practice without a shirt a fair amount of the time. I've got a six pack and I'm really fit which is a plus when there are pretty ladies around. I like the tan too. Eh, I guess I'm kinda vain. Oh well. :)

It depends on the day. I enjoy playing shirtless because it feels better and feels quite a bit cooler than having it on.

I guess I have a pretty decent body but I don't really like to show off. Playing shirtless is probably misconstrued as that, so I don't do it when too many people are around.
