Calling it Foul: An Ethical Dilemma on the Tennis Court

Abstract

The Aiken Open, a prestigious tennis tournament, was shaping up to be a coming-out party for George Bright in the state junior tennis scene. After making a surprise run to the semifinals of this tournament, Bright ran into an opponent who used dubious tactics to cheat the honor system that is often employed in junior tennis. This case examines the ethical quandaries faced in such a situation.
