Tennis is one of my favourite sports. I’ve been playing it from a youngage. In fact, I like both types of this game: table tennis and longtennis. I’m quite good at table tennis, but I spend most of my freetime at the nearest court training for long tennis. This game is ratherold. It is believed to have originated in the fifth century B. C. Thereare even drawings on the walls of ancient caves which show differentpeople hitting a ball back and forth. However, the modern game of lawntennis originated in the 19th century in Great Britain and wasconsidered to be the upper-class game. Today, it’s the fifth mostpopular sport in the world, after football, basketball, cricket andrugby. The game is played with a racket and a small, yellow ball and bytwo players or two pairs of players on the court divided by the net.The sport is even included in the Olympic Games. It’s easy for me tounderstand why tennis became so popular and how it gained universalappeal. First of all, it provides health benefits. Those, who playtennis, have strong arms and legs. They are always in good shape.Secondly, tennis players are rather optimistic, energetic andself-confident. Tennis outperforms many other sports in developingpositive personality characteristics. Thirdly, people who play tennishave better immune system and body coordination. And, finally, tennisplayers quickly develop strategic mind, social skills and high-leveldiscipline. Apart from the Olympic Games, there are four Grand Slamtournaments, which are held annually and are considered to beprestigious. I never miss these spectacular events when they are on TV.However, my dream is to see at least once such a tournament in reallife.
