in Tennis forums, ATP & WTA I have left it last year Too tired, run & play almost every week, monday to sunday without break. Some time with 2 or 3 tournaments held in a week.
In the past when "rally points" didn't present, some badminton players did it too. If any wrong call to the opponent, they served wide or short to give back the ball to the opponent.
