Tim Henman was a renown spitter... only did it on grass though and that might be a major reason for the difference between sports.

Most of the tennis season is played on hard courts. Most of the upbringing of young tennis players is on hard courts... Spitting on hard courts is just effing nasty. So one reason could just be that tennis players have been conditioned not to spit cause there's nowhere to hide it?

Sergio spits in the hole

To be fair golfers get fined for it.

Once had the misfortune to find something altogether more solid in the cup at Barshaw Park - #2 hole appropriately. We all took a gimme!

Tennis is a stroll in the park compared to football. They get a 2 minute break every 5 minutes for a cold drink and a spot of lunch sometimes, under a sun parasol with the ball boys acting as waiters. Some tennis players gargle with their drink and spit it over their shoulder onto the court and in front of the TV cameras. Watch closer.

What is worse on a hard-court tennis court - spit or sweat?

Rafa Nadal literally rains sweat. Puddles of it.
