When I'm used,you can be sure your opponent don't approve.

If I'm used to often, you might find it hard to find practice partners.

I will make you feel at least a level better as soon as I'm used, no practice required.

I can be used successfully against all kinds of rubbers and I can never get banned by the ITTF!

Who am I?

Think hard about this one, cause I'm, almost sure we all have used "the answer" some time.


This one is still left unanswered, or, at least, with out the correct answer. Trying to think of more hints with out giving it away. It can be used in pretty much all sports and Tennis player Björn Borg where the master when it came to using "it".


Wasting time?

"Illegal serves" come to mind but, your last sentence rule it out and BB won't be allowed to serve illegally.

AYOUS IS CORRECT!
At last a correct answer!

Well done Mallia, although the last clue made it a fair bit easier.

Sorry Haggisv, but the answer is really simple, al though some of you might get up set when you read it, seeing how easy the answer was.

With this said, there haven't been any correct answers yet. This is almost exclusively used by the loser and using it is a sign of bad sportsmanship, according to me. Despite this, I have used it and I'm oretty sure we all have.


Challenging Umpire calls/complaining about illegal serves.

Is it making excuses for why your losing, e.g blaming equipment, lighting, ball, injury etc.


NOTE: Are there any more unanswered riddles?

You know, all these so call bad sportsmanship behaviors that you guys were talking about were the trade marks of John McEnroe, not from Bjorn Borg.
I still have no clue of what the correct answer is, may be I have never behaved that way. :wink:

Is it "making excuses for one's poor play"?
