Swoosh!
There goes the ball across the court!
In Tennis there are different lines for singles and doubles. Singles lines are the narrow lines with less space. On the other hand, doubles lines are the wider lines they give you and your partner more space to move. When I play Tennis I prefer to play singles because I like the court to myself and there is less space to cover!
Tennis is just like the Tennis on the Wii. Tennis is relatively easy to take up, the techniques are just harder. If the ball is on the line it is in, if it's not then obviously it's out. To signal the ball was out, put up one finger. And that doesn’t mean use your middle finger! If you stick that up people may get a little mad. Tennis can also help you develop hand-eye coordination, so for y'all who say you don't have any, take up Tennis. Hope y'all come back next week I will talk about:
Rodger Federer!

Tennis Overall

Tennis is a complex sport that is fun but it can be hard to learn. Tennis is a sport that can be played by all ages, old or young. Tennis is played on a court with two opposing sides separated by a net. Tennis is only as fun as you allow it to be; for me I absolutely love the feeling of out smarting your opponent and winning the match. Because there are always things that we can improve upon, tennis players are always eager to come to practice to learn new techniques. Personally, I've been playing since I was seven, and even though it has been that long I still have things to improve. Ever since I started playing tennis I've loved the sport, and I hope you'll love it too!

Each week I will be explaining the different rules and ways of playing tennis. Many famous athletes are tennis players and they all show their unique techniques while playing in a match. Something new will be shown or explained on tennis as a whole every week. Techniques are also important when learning to play tennis, you can learn to outsmart your opponent. By the end of this blog, you'll be swinging like a pro!
