I have officially committed a tennis crime. I'm sorry.
So, I was playing a match today and I was down 4 - 0. She was about to win.
But then, I started playing really well, and she got really frustrated with herself. So she was throwing her racket and I was fist pumping. A dangerous habit.
I HATE it when players fist pump, especially when their opponent misses a shot.
But, I can't seem to help myself!!
For those of you who are unaware of the fist pump, here are some pictures.
See what I mean?Just in case your wondering, I came back and beat the girl
7 - 6.

Why is the first pump a crime?? It is a reflex action a VICTOR cannot help!!! Pump away champ.
I think the fist pump is fine. It seems to have worked like a charm. Nothing wrong with a little victory dance.
What about this fist pump?: yesssss
I HATE the fist pump myself. It's so.....yesterday.
Something about it makes me want to fist PUNCH the person doing it. Maybe we should develop some other way of acknowledging our booty-bashing tennis playing abilities. Got any ideas?
Not really.
I thought about Napoleon Dynamite doing yessss
"Something about it makes me want to fist PUNCH the person doing it." Well... superchurchlady, that would be your weakness! In that case, Mer would fist-pump, make you madder and you would lose your cool and lose! Then the real fist-pumping party would start!
No, JK. I think if you are glad about your good shot a little show of it ain't too bad. (But I'm not your mother, however, I am your superior.)
You are not a robot after all. Instead of the fist pump, after you score a particularly good shot, why don't you drop your racket and act like it is on fire. Tell your opponent to come and touch it to see how hot it is. Say, "I'm serious, I mean, I'm surprised the ball didn't just disintegrate right at contact. " Then go get your water bottle and pour some water on the handle, make some sizzling noise and finally pick the racket up.
Seth - you crack me up. I'm leaving today for a tennis tourney in Lafayette, La. and I'm try this approach and see how it goes.
You are my inferior superior.
