Sir,

why do the pro players rub the top of the tennis table near the net? 

To have an extra moment to compose themselves and get a calming breath?

Thank you and love the teaching you do and your site!!

Hi Rex,

The disguise is that they are wiping gate sweat from their hand but in reality you are correct, it is more about composing themselves and taking a calming breath.

Maybe it also unlocks the Table Tennis Genie...
