Something that you see fairly commonly in some European and much more rarely in Asia is players wiping the sole of the shoe with their hand in-between rallies.

Like how many of these players will wash their hands after the match.....?
 
I used to do this then stopped as it is a bit disgusting. Some venues in the uk are barns or have openings for foxes and rats coming in.

I also noticed that when my partner does it and starts high fiving me i kinda gave me the ick. Next moment i might be itching my eye without realising.
 
I was watching German junior livestream. I think it was a danish player, wiped his hand on his shoes, slapped his partner's hand with the same hand and then smoothed his hair with that hand. He did this two or three times!
 
Once i did it when i play in quite slipery court.
The commite was cheap... Sigh...
So i wipe sweat then wipe my shoe sole
End with clown face myself.

Well i got small fabric used for wipe car. Wet it before games and put it on jusge side beside his chair. Would visit those fabric for short wipe.
