To find Wimbledon doubles players annoying

[crockofshite]

When they whisper messages behind their hand after each point, and when they fist bump after each point.

What are they saying??

It's so irritating.

I guess they're whispering encouragement or instructions. Anyone got a clue?

Tactics / strategy

They are showing support for each other, and discussing tactics for the next point. Do you play tennis? This is normal behaviour.

"Hit the ball, you nobber"

'You duck down, and I'll try not to smash the ball at 122 mph into the back of your head'.

'Yes, I know. Like the last 95 times you told me.' <Mutters sotto voce> ' ... and it's more like 80 mph actually.'

Oh god, the touching each other after every point is so infuriating. I can't watch any doubles because of that.

It's so needy, I can't bear it either

But what shit are they saying to each other ..... Try and hit the ball back if it comes your way ....

It's about the serve usually.

It's either 'go long' or 'go short'. Unlike chess, there are precisely 2 moves possible. That require lots of whispering and feelying. Like Abigail's Party but with tennis bracelets and sponsorship.
