"No player should ever say "sorry" to their partner--regardless of gender. We are all trying on the court to do our best.

Even if the woman is missing all of her shots--I'm happy she is going for them and even happier if she will smile after the miss and give me a high-five and get pumped up for the next point.

It seems to me that in mixed--women put more pressure on themselves and say "sorry" more often than they do when paired with another female on court.

Go for your shots, stay positive, and enjoy the game for which it is...
