I would sweat like crazy when I played. What worked best for me was a glove on my racquet hand. (Not easy to do when your hands are 2 sizes above "all".)

Or you could keep a small "sweat towel" on you when you play, perhaps hanging from your shorts.

blow on it or wipe it off on your shirt

Have an operation Hope you can get used to the heat gradually.

my doubles partner has the same problem and i got hooked on this tendency: buy one of those Dr. Scholl's foot powders and before you put on your sneakers, put lots on ur feet and actually ALSO put some on ur hands it works for me too now......

A small rosin bag works for me, if that doesn't work get some pine tar, I promise, you'll never lose your grip again.

Savannah, Georgia in the summer is usually in the upper 90's with the humidity about the same, so I sweat terribly during matches. Here's what I do:

2 racquets- Which I change every time we switch sides. I leave the handle of the bat I'm not using sticking out of the bag, so the sun might dry it.

Overgrips- If necessary, change them on set breaks.

Rosin Bag- Use it on both your hands, and the stick's grip.

Towel- A separate towel just to wipe the handle of your bat on.

Wrist bands- Wear two on each arm. On your swinging arm it will catch all the sweat dripping down, and on the non-swinging arm it gives you something to wipe your swinging arm's hands on. Change them as needed.

Shirts- Change them often. The sides generally soak last, so there's another place you can wipe your hands.

Another towel- Carry it onto the court with you, and go to it to wipe your hands, arms, etc.

Hope that helps.

..Joe
