What's Unique about Tennis?
Occasionally a thought comes to mind about what sets tennis apart from other sports.

Today's thought is the dignity, integrity and etiquette inherent in the game. For example, players still shake hands at the conclusion of every match and they offer first serves to opponents when a distraction warrants it.

Is there comparable behavior in any other sport?

Isn't this worth preserving and engraining in junior players?
