Best Answer

Not all tennis player do this but when you see this happen the tennis player is seeing which ones they want. Most tennis players take two balls before a serve take one to serve and keep the other one in his/her pocket in case he/she misses his first serve, then he has a extra ball to hit.

Are there any tennis balls in a Shakespeare play?

Yes, in Henry V. The Dauphin of France, thinking that Henry is a worthless fribble as he appeared to be when he was Prince Hal (in the Henry IV plays) sends as compensation for the English claims to the throne of France a box of tennis balls (which he calls a treasure chest), implying that Henry is probably more interested in tennis than politics. Big mistake. The tennis balls just make Henry mad and more convinced than ever to start a war with France.

What do national tennis players need in there bag?

The primary person a tennis player needs is a coach. As a player improves, a financial advisor may be needed, or, perhaps, a business manager (who can wear several hats). Certainly an agent will be required for the better players. Top tennis players can earn double what they win playing tennis by selling endorsements. A personal trainer might be necessary at some point, as would an accountant. The professional player might leave hiring them to his coach and business manager, respectively.
