Subject: Sounds like "hit and giggle" tennis has come to an end at UVA

I honestly had never heard that term, which was disparagingly applied
to some previous UVA women's tennis teams. However, since then I
have heard a tennis playing friend of mine use it with respect to one of
tennis playing daughters.

I mean no offense towards any women tennis players, who may read
this post, but in my male chauvinist mind it was a "classic" comment
by the UVA women's tennis coach. I bet he got a few calls from some
the Mom's of the players on his team.

Current Thread:

Does the women's team have a chance to make it to the sweet 16 next spring? ** -- hoos4ever Mon Aug 18 2008 10:57:15 AM

Yes; not necessarily favored, but a good chance ** -- Clark Mon Aug 18 2008 2:55:02 PM

It is an old term among tennis coaches -- Clark Mon Aug 18 2008 11:16:38 PM

The term I always heard was "country club hitter/swimmer" -- dpc1994 Tue Aug 19 2008 11:58:32 PM
