Tennis

By: Juan Fernando Rojas 7A

Tennis is a sport that is becoming very popular in the world; this sport is
performed by two players in a single game or four players in a double game. In
this game the points or score are counted like this: 15 for the first point, 30 for
the second, 40 for the third point a finally you win the game, usually two games
conform one set and each professional match haves 6 sets. If both, your
opponent and you have 40 in the score it is called a “Deuce”, during the deuce if
you win the next point you have “Advantage” and after that if you win another
point you win the game.

The field for this game can be made of clay or pavement, in the middle of the
field is a net that divides both sides in two parts, each side of the field is divided
into four areas, two that are next to the net, one that is at the end of the field
and the other is located at the sides of the field and its only used when in each
side are playing two people.

To play each player needs to have a tennis racket and one ball for everyone,
the game consist in passing the ball to the opposite sites making it to bounce
inside the field, if the ball bounces two times in your field you lose the point. To
start the match you have to serve, during the game you have to serve all the
points and when the game is finished your opponent has to serve.

In my personal opinion I love tennis because you do a lot of exercise and you
know new people, there are a lot of tennis fields all around the city so common
and try it!
