What is this black spot on my rubber?

[doppelmoral]

Basically the title, I noticed that there is a black spot on my rubber, in the main hitting area.

My racket case got very slightly wet yesterday from the rain, and I noticed it today. Could this be something like mold after just 1 day? Or just a marking of a ball?

The grip still seems fine, but I havent seen this before.

What do you think?

Cheers

Could be dirt, try cleaning it with tt rubber cleaner, every company makes some sort of cleaner.

dirt, can be cleaned, nothing unusual

It could be a mark from a table, the cornileu cheap tables leaves marks on balls, which can transfer to the rubber. This also explains why its in the hitting area.

Could be black ink from the brand on the ball.

Dirty, greasy finger mark
