Why do tennis players wipe their sweat so much

[xdodger19]

This is the only sport where you wipe off your sweat every minute.
And the women players blow on their nails a lot.

ever tried to hold a tennis racquet with a sweaty grip?
or return a serve with sweat stinging yr eyes?

Yes, and I have shot three pointers with sweaty hands, and sweat in my eyes in 105 degree weather.

completely different based on sport. in tennis when you throw the ball up to hit a serve the water will drip right into your eyes. when shooting a free throw your head is level and there is less motion in that area and mostly done with arms. and no you arent going to wipe your sweat during game action shooting three pointers, there isn't time. this is a dumb thread.
