And? Are you saying that a serve is supposed to be polite and easy? That you aren't supposed to try to make it hard/impossible to return?
Is unethical to score an Ace in Tennis like this?

And? If his opponent wants to play off the back line then he should cater to that and make it easier for him to return one?
This is a professional event with the intent to win.
stop throwing me thats cheap
stop using low Fierce Kicks its too OP
your not aspos'ta use hadouken when i dont have enough health to block it
no hit the ball right at me and fast so i dont have to move that wasnt fair dont hit it slow
stop using backspin in ping pong it keeps going into the net youre not being very nice
let me run to the halfcourt line uncontested full court press is unfair
your not allowed to steal bases i cant even see you thats messed up
let me pass you my car is faster stop blocking me from passing you

Well, in Prince of Tennis, there was Atobe's Tannhauser Serve which never bounced, and Tezuka's Zero Shiki serve, which doesn't bounce and actually reverses when it hits the gorund.

I must admit, I did this once in a high school match. I hated the little shit on the other side, he would sometimes do little dances while I served to try and distract me. Hit a really hard serve that he couldn't return, he backed up, then I sliced it just over the net and by the time he realized what happened it had already bounced twice. I remember how hard my heart was beating after I saw it clear the net, because I would have looked so damn stupid if I had missed the shot...

Legal, but you can't do it too often or people will start to expect it.
Came in to post this you marvellous bastard.

There's a name for it! Quick pitching. Never knew. Whelp. I got screwed by a little league ump.

i always wondered if people didnt do it because they were good sports. i suppose you cant give that much effect like you would table tennis but it can work from the looks of it
Eh, maybe not the person with the insane foot speed.

What? How is it like any of those things? Wouldn't an accurate comparison for this in association football be lobbing a penalty kick down the middle when the keeper thinks you're going to blast it into the corner?

Question from a tennis noob: If the ball landed on a valid part of Gonzalez' court, would it count for or against him?
The opponent has to hit the ball before it bounces twice, regardless of where it lands.

It wouldn't matter because it wouldn't work on nadal. He's too fast and could recognize, recover, and probably hit a winner if someone pulled this on him. Dude is superhuman.

No I mean table tennis.
Everyone who ever had any contact with tennis knows that the underhand serve is a scumbag thing to do
Fucking classless
French fans know

How did it take two pages for this?
I used to like Hingis but this was such a shit move. It's not "unethical" it's just not sportsmanlike.

Nah. Now in cricket there is an infamous unethical issue. I can't remember who it was with, but I'm pretty sure it was the Australian team who were the victims.
In cricket the bowler has to throw the ball at the cricketer. However there was either at the time no rules on how to throw the ball or still aren't. Final minutes of the game. To win the Australian team last batsman needs to score a very small amount of runs. There is a good chance they could win.
The bowler wants his team to win, so he throws the ball in the most awful way possible. He rolls it to the batter. The batter is fucked. The batter needs to knock it out as far as possible because once he hits the ball anyone on the other team can tap him put. So rolling means he can't knock it anywhere, he loses the game and the bowler wins it for his team.
Not against the rules. Extremely unsportsmanlike and it caused a lot of bad blood.

Pfft. That's amateur hour.
I thought the thread would be about this:
Oh man how is there not a Harlem Globetrotters of tennis? Like people playing doubles doing all kinds of coordinated stunts??
