Playing Tennis as a Hobby
Let me start this by giving an introduction about Tennis from Wikipidea.
Tennis is a game played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players (doubles). Players use a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time yellow, but can be any color or even two-tone) over a net into the opponent’s court.
Originating in England in the late 19th century as “lawn tennis,” with its roots going back to the ancient game of real tennis, 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. It can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.
Except for the adoption of the tie-breaker in the 1970s, its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1890s. A recent addition to tennis has been the adoption of “instant replay” technology coupled with a point challenge system which allows a player to challenge the official call of a point.
Along with its millions of players, millions of people world-wide follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. The growth of tennis in Eastern Europe and the Far East has been especially notable in recent years.
When I was in high school, I have always been dreaming to become a superstar in Tennis Sports, I have always been watching Tennis games on cable. I remember that time those top Tennis players are Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. I just learned playing tennis and rules from watching it on TV and trying it at home by smashing the ball with tennis rackets towards the wall as my practice. I started to like Tennis apparel and mens tennis shoes. When I get to college, I tried out at for the Intramural in our University and luckily I get selected as part of the tennis team for the IT department even without babolat rackets but we were so determined about winning. But it’s just a game and there are only two things you can get, to win or to lose and unfortunately we didn’t get a place because there are more advance player in other department. But I was not sad about it because the experience boosted my self confidence. Playing tennis tournament is my dream and playing at intramural somehow grant my dreams. Until now I still watch Tennis games at the plaza and/or TV and still got the courage to play.
I never dream of playing at Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open and get a championship cup because I am not determined but maybe playing Tennis as my hobby and exercise will satisfy my cravings on playing Tennis. Maybe to see todays Tennis Superstars play will be my next level dream like Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer, or Maria Sharapova and get autograph items from them as a souvenir will satisfy my dreams.
