So it\u2019s very convenient for them to keep the balls in their pockets.<\/p>\n<p>But in women\u2019s tennis, players wear skirts that don\u2019t have pockets on them. The easiest place is for them to keep the balls is to tuck it under the shorts they wear under their skirts. (Yes, for the record, women players don\u2019t keep the balls in their underwear. They wear special shorts under their skirts.)<\/p>\n<p>Most pro women players we see on TV wear tennis shorts that are specially designed with elastic pockets to hold the ball firmly, or compression shorts which is an easy and secure place to keep the tennis balls.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-7g8m8u-762df9e1cd83f99e16af1c883b6f642a '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><h2 id=\"h2-2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"sports-betting-reason-2-risk-of-losing-points-for-dropping-t\"><a id=\"risk_of_drop_ball\"><\/a>Sports Betting Reason #2: Risk of Losing Points for Dropping the Ball<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Reason 2 _ Risk of losing points for dropping the ball\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9185 aligncenter\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Reason-2-_-Risk-of-losing-points-for-dropping-the-ball.gif\" width=\"478\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not have built-in pockets on the skirts?\u201d Good question.<\/p>\n<p>Tennis skirts are short. This means the pockets will be shallow too. And the ball can fall out easily during play, especially given the sheer speed and power of tennis shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo why can\u2019t players just pick up the ball if it falls out?\u201d Another good question.<\/p>\n<p>Under tennis rules, which apply to the men as well, if the ball is dropped accidentally during the <a href=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/game-introduction\/live-casino-games\/the-difference-on-baccarat-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explore more games at iBET<\/a>, it may affect the opponent&#8217;s play. So if a player drops the ball for the first time, it\u2019s a replay. But if it happens more than once, the player loses the point (!).<\/p>\n<p>Losing a point unnecessarily? That\u2019s something that can cost them the whole match!

These athletes have been practising tennis since they were kids \u2013 back when there were no ball-boys or girls to pass them balls. Although they are now pros, they have their own personal habits and serving rhythm they\u2019ve developed since young.<\/p>\n<p>Also, according to tennis rules, the maximum interval between the two serves is 20 seconds for Grand Slam and 25 seconds for ATP tour. Turning to the ball-kid to get the ball would be a waste of time.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, it might break the player\u2019s concentration, focus and rhythm \u2013 which may increase their chance of double faulting and losing the point \u2013 eventually costing them the championship, their ranking and lucrative prize money. And that an unnecessary risk most professional players won\u2019t want to take.<\/p>\n<p>This concept of \u2018risk\u2019 is something professional <a href=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/game-introduction\/live-casino-games\/types-of-online-poker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learn poker hand rankings here<\/a> players or experienced sports bettors on online betting Malaysia are familiar with. It is not just about making a tennis bet. It\u2019s about taking calculated and strategic risks to win lucrative rewards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3i6lb2-f728aab45e9dcd94ea98d3c92c91d585 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><h2 id=\"h2-3\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"sports-betting-reason-4-players-like-to-choose-the-balls-the\"><a id=\"choose_balls_they_serve\"><\/a>Sports Betting Reason #4: Players Like to Choose the Balls They Serve with<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Reason 4 _ Players like to choose the balls they serve with\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9189 aligncenter\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Reason-4-_-Players-like-to-choose-the-balls-they-serve-with.gif\" width=\"480\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Before every serve for both men and women, ever noticed how some players typically request for 3, 4 or more balls, examines them and then only keeps 2 to serve?<\/p>\n<p>This choosing of the balls is a long-held tennis ritual, a process built on science and superstition. In general, players look for the newest, least-fluffed balls of the 6 in use during a match. The belief is that a fluffier ball has more \u201cdrag\u201d \u2013 therefore less aerodynamic, causing the ball to travel slower through the air.<\/p>\n<p>As a tennis player, when you\u2019re serving, you want the ball that can travel through the air as fast as possible. For example, Andy Roddick, who has one of the fastest serves in the game, always looks for the sleekest ball that might go an extra mile per hour.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Caroline Wozniacki, one of the hottest players in the sport, often picks the fluffiest ball if she\u2019s playing against a strong returner, believing that a slower return is more advantageous than a faster serve.<\/p>\n<p>Many players admit that it probably doesn\u2019t make much of a difference which ball they choose, but the process offers glimpses into the psyche of successful players.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-38ydfi-a876b3215157b735dd673cbd240fd61e '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sports-betting-reason-5-they-dont-want-to-break-their-on-cou\"><a id=\"not_break_on-court_routine_superstitions\"><\/a>Sports Betting Reason #5: They Don\u2019t Want to Break Their On-court Routine and Superstitions<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Reason 5 _ They don\u2019t want to break their on-court routine and superstitions\" class=\"wp-image-9191 aligncenter\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Reason-5-_-They-don\u2019t-want-to-break-their-on-court-routine-and-superstitions.gif\" width=\"523\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tennis players are super famous for their on-court quirks and superstitions. Fans of <a href=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/sport-betting.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">online sports betting Malaysia<\/span><\/a> or sports betting who research on the players know this.<\/p>\n<p>Maria Sharapova avoids stepping on lines between points, as did her rival, Ana Ivanovic. Novak Djokovic\u2019s ball bouncing obsession is legendary. Roger Federer likes the number 8 (just like how fans of online betting Malaysia or sports betting believe in lucky number 8). Serena Williams has her ball bouncing regime \u2013 five times before her first serve and twice before her second. And let\u2019s not even get started on Rafael Nadal!<\/p>\n<p>These are just some superstitions we know of. Perhaps tucking the ball under the shorts is a superstition or on-court routine for some of the beautiful women\u2019s players too.<\/p>\n<p>These routines may seem odd to us, but it has been said that tennis is 10% physical and 90% mental. Much like professional poker players, tennis players have to read their opponents, strategise, stay calm and focused \u2013 all in their minds. Any disruption to the mental component of their performance may sometimes even be the deciding factor in whether or not a player wins and losses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> For more information, visit iBET for the latest offers and games.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-av_section-af6d0f84113eb35b71137a0cdf05412d main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-9166'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_full first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><div class=\"responsible-gambling\" style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:12px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<p><strong>Responsible Gambling:<\/strong> iBET promotes responsible gambling.
