Tennis Talk

What do you call a softly hit shot? A dink. What do you call someone who hits really soft shots regularly? What else...a dinker.

What does it mean to chip and charge? That is to hit a slice shot and then storm the net.

What do you call a below-average tennis player? Grrrr... a hacker.

What is the National Tennis Rating Program? It is a system that rates players numerically from a 2.5 (beginner with basic skills) to a 7.0 (world's best players).
