Shirt-Swapping: A New Trend in Tennis?

Rafael Nadal’s recent act of giving his shirt to defeated opponent Pedro Cachin has sparked a debate about whether shirt-swapping could become a tradition in tennis. Cachin, who pushed Nadal to three sets, requested the shirt as a memento of their encounter. While some have criticized the gesture as disrespectful, others have praised it as sportsmanship at its finest. The incident has raised questions about whether shirt-swapping, which is common in other sports like football and basketball, could become a part of tennis culture.
