“Tennis is a game played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players (doubles). Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent’s court. Originating in Europe in the late 19th century, tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world, particularly among the upper classes. Tennis is now once again an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around the world. Except for the adoption of the tie-breaker in the 1970s, its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1890s. Along with its millions of players, millions of people follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments,” (Wikipedia).

I love playing tennis. There's nothing like the rush of running and chasing after the ball and hitting it. The sound the ball makes against the racket is very satisfying to hear.
you can only realise how demanding sport it is….if you play yourself and watch players on clay…great sport
When I was little, I always thought that Tennis was so boring (expecially on T.V.), but now in the past three years that i've been getting much more into the sport, I realize how challengeing it is. You have to be fast, and in control physically and mentally. Tennis is such an incredible sport, I'm not sure where I would be without it.
I took tennis lessons when I was 8 until I was 16. I still play all the time.
i love tennis <33333333333333

its a great stress reliver too.
you know, whacking all those balls and everything. But it gets rly aggrivating when i can't hit a single ball on a bad day. I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
