There is a difference between loud and careless. Loud tennis has color, intention, personality, and a serve that says you came to play. Careless tennis forgets the people on the other side of the net.

Bring the statement tee. Bring the red grip. Bring the dramatic walk to retrieve a ball. Then call the line honestly and offer the good “nice shot.”

The attitude is not an excuse. It is the energy you carry while still respecting the game.
