This article is for the tennis players out there who want to have a bit of fun toying with the opponents frustration. Here is a list of extremely annoying things you can do to get on there nerves.
1. When serving, bounce the ball as many times as you can before they get angry.

2. Tie your shoe laces before there about to serve, great for putting them off!
3. Complain that the ball is not bouncy enough and demand a new one before you start playing.
4. Take drink breaks every 5 minutes.
5. Ask your opponent if you can switch rackets.
6. If you do a bad shot stroll around in circles talking to yourself, acting angry of course.
7. In a drinks break, take a nap in the middle of the court.
8. Complain to your opponent there is a hole in your racket.
9. Grunt obnoxiously throughout the match.
10. State the ball was clearly out even though it was clearly in, argue as long as you can.
These don’t work as well in friendly matches against friends, works best in competitions were your opponent will get extremely frustrated rather than take it as a joke.
