One of the greatest joys of tennis is having a nice volley and not really keeping score, not really looking at the lines, but just catching up with each other.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that the best part of playing tennis is not focusing on winning or losing, but instead enjoying the back-and-forth of the game and using it as an opportunity to connect with your opponent. It's about forgetting the score and the rules, and simply having fun hitting the ball and chatting with each other. The most important thing is the shared experience, not who comes out on top.
