Obliged to warm up with the opponent before a tournament

dan mat Asked 7 years ago

Hello Alois,

Hope everything's very good with you and all members.

I'd like to know please if I am obliged to warm up with the opponent before a tournament, or if I can not being warming up but it would be considered as non-sport attitude? Or not.

Thanks a lot Alois.

Great times everybody.

Dany.

Hi Dany,

You need to hit with your opponent for the 2 minutes of the warm up period before a match.

In lower level tournaments,we sometimes skip the warmup if both players are just after another match.

We don't skip it, even in lower-level club matches and even if we have both just come off the back of a previous match. It allow each player to get some idea of how the other player's rubber behaves and the general quality of their shots. It means you don't need to waste the first few points of the first game doing that.
