Answer:
Tennis is a sport played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent’s court. The modern game of tennis was born in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century. Then it was called “lawn tennis”. Tennis soon became popular among the upper- class English-speaking population.
Then it began to be played around the world. Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.

A recent addition to professional tennis has been the adoption of “instant replay” technology coupled with a point challenge system. This allows a player to challenge the official call of a point.

I lost all my matches because I was so nervous that every time the ball would be served to me, I would run away from it. This changed when I played the final play offs for position for 23rd and 24th place. That game was to be the 1st of many matches that I would go on to win. This is the first time I learnt that I had to surrender by losing many matches in order to become stronger to win this match. That very same year I did not give up and so I won my very first tournament.
By the age of ten I started playing intense hours of tennis for six days a. My day used to…show more content…
To travel an unknown country at a young age and to play against people I had never met was an extremely challenging experience for me. However it was also an exhilarating time for me because I got to experience my passion in a beautiful country. Although I had to surrender trips to Gold Reef City and did not have any holidays that where free from training and tournaments, I won experiences such as traveling all over Africa so I have never regretted the choices I
