shouting after getting points in tournaments

oh.. i think that people can even shout to gain some confidence!

It looks more like an expression of dominance to me. As a spectator it seems fine to me if the player did something good, but poor sportsmanship if the opponent made an error. As a player, I need to be concentrating on the next point.

Hello. I believe that it might be legal, but is also impolite. To me is like spitting on the ball.

I think this shouting may cause some nervousness on the opponent

You should not shout if someone hits in the net,but if you make a goos point you can,i do it it kind of give you an adrenalin kick:)

This thing Always makes you angry..............we have a player in associations who, when wins the point says "THANKYOU"

Especially when your serve a fault..and that SUCKS very much

And what is the word they shouting??? Is here someone who used to shout this word?

There was an earlier question about the meaning of 'cho'.

I have no problem playing against someone who gets emotional and vocal (as long as they are good sports and not being unpleasant).  I myself can get very loud when I win a crucial point in an important match.  This is something that just comes out and I can't control.  Sometimes, I do deliberately get vocal with my 'cho' when I feel like I am playing very flat and want to try and get the adrenaline pumping.

i defenitly dont like ot when my opponent shouts cho . I especially hate it when they ve got a point by a ball that bounced on the net! Btw aasim, I dont think its German as even bgian youngsters shout it ...

my friend too, when i watch him in a match and when he gain point he shouted HOSA or TESA and also CHO !
but it seems like it's fault if you shouted when the umpire hasn't say that the ball's in... (That's what he said to me)

what do you think everyone ?

I think it is a definite confidence builder and is a huge part of the mental game and intimidating your opponent, if they do  it, do it back and gain some momentum

To shout out is ok every now and then but not all the time. When doing a yell make sure you look the oponent in the eye, as to try and convince him you are more attacking than him, also more fierce and that he has no hope of beating you.!! Too do it too much i think is bad because you will use up to much pysical-mental energy.

Another thing is if you yell out too much people-your opponents might think you a show off or a bad sport.! Never forget to sometimes give your opponents credit too cause if you don't you can fall into the relaxed i will win easy attituden trap then get beaten. You must be ready for every single opponent no matter what his skill-mental attitude.

No one is unbeatable but at the same time we are no invincible, we can't win em all. The main thing is if you do yell out stare your opponent down and let him know mentally you are fitter, faster, stronger, physically better and most of all mentally stronger than him.
