yeah uh players do and that's a good thing that's what i wanted i wanted them to get mad and get frustrated because that's that's basically when i knew i was uh doing my absolute best out there is when frustrating my opponents when they can't get a racket on my serve and they don't have much rhythm that's typically when i was playing my best ball sometimes i would even feel uncomfortable out on the court but
