Re: What is your on court persona?

Usually just say a few things under my breath like 'why?', or Come on Josh'. Mostly just gesture what I should have done i.e point dtl when I went cc or motion for myself to get up of the ground when serving.

Re: What is your on court persona?

Sometimes when I hit a really good shot like anyone else, I fist pump & may even say "Yes!". To get myself pumped up I'll usually say, "Come on Ben, let's go". And if I hit a poor shot or do something I'm not happy with, I will say things like for example, "Damnit" & "Stay balanced on the shot".

So I'm a mixture

Re: What is your on court persona?

I'm a guy, so no Sharapova grunts from me. I do sometimes grunt if I'm running a lot for a point(But I usually don't even bother,) but it's just a low growl. Fistpump very rarely, nothing big or obnoxious. And I guess you could say I do #4, I don't show any emotion and LOOK somewhat calm. It's usually just because I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat later, or about what I'm going to do later that night, etc. I always did want to give a Pova death stare.

Re: What is your on court persona?

grunt? No, I just breathe in a weird way to keep myself concentrated, sort of Hantuchova's but even weirder haha

Fist pump? No

Say "AJDE!!!111!!"? GOD NO!!

Stay cool and collected like a frigid cucumber? Just when things aren't going nice, I never complain it just makes me play worse.

I try to be slightly angry in order not to lose concentration, although I also try to enjoy playing and not putting pressure on myself, I always end up losing if so.

Re: What is your on court persona?

I do the Maria thing. After points, back to my opponent, encourage myself, test my racket tensions with my wrist, and then zip up to the baseline with synchronized "come on, you can do this" head bobs.

Re: What is your on court persona?

Im pretty emotional. If Im playing shit I curse myself, I give myself on court coaching lessons 'you're too late on your forehand' 'move your feet', 'you're too close to the ball' etc etc..I generally only shout a COME ON if I hit a great shot on an important point...

Im very fair on line calls, but if I feel my opponent has cheated me off 2 or 3 obvious line calls, im not against deliberately calling one in my favour - fight fire with fire etc...

Re: What is your on court persona?

1. sometimes, when I´m really into the game
2. all the time even after opponent´s error
3. ajde not but I´m sometimes yelling, after error or after winning point

I´m very nervous when I´m playing tennis, I broke my racquet many times already but I just can´t be calm when I´m playing bad I´m playing better when I´m pissed

Re: What is your on court persona?

I grunt sorta like wickmayer, but its sorta like under my breath and it gets louder when its close or i try to go for a big shot

I fistpump when i hit a winner or win a long rally.

I say AJDEE!!!!! or Comeon when i win a good rally or hit a winner

Im very loud and angry on court i shout alot and used to throw my racquet, but i usually just shout out alot now and scream instead of throwing my racquet

Re: What is your on court persona?

I'm like Zvonareva or Safina on emotional steroids.

If I'm playing well, then it's only a matter of time before I realize I'm playing well and I started hitting tons of errors and my game basically falls to bits and pieces. From that point on it's a real pleasure to watch me scream, curse and hit myself, slam my racket, look like I'm about to cry, yell at my invisible coach and question why the hell I play the game. But I always wind up having lots of fun.
