Tennis is a sport that originated in England around the 19th century and is now played in a host of countries around the world. There are four major tournaments known as the ‘majors’ that include Wimbledon, US Open, French Open and Australian tournament. The game of tennis played on a rectangular court with a net running across the centre. The aim is to hit the ball over the net landing the ball within the margins of the court and in a way that results in your opponent being unable to return the ball. You win a point every time your opponent is unable to return the ball within the court A tennis match can be played by either one player on each side – a singles match – or two players on each side – a doubles match. The rectangular shaped court has a base line (at the back), service areas (two spaces just over the net in which a successful serve must land in) and two tram lines down either side. A singles match will mean you use the inner side tram line and a doubles match will mean you use the outer tram line. A court can be played on four main surfaces including grass, clay, hard surface and carpet. Each tournament will choose one surface type and stick without throughout. All that is required in terms of equipment is a stringed racket each and a tennis ball. You need to score four points to win a game of tennis. The points are known as 15 (1 point), 30 (two points), 40 (three points) and the fourth would result in the winning point and the end of that game. If the scores went to 40-40 this would be known as deuce. When a game reaches deuce the player must then win by two clear points. To win the game you must win a certain amount of sets (best of three for women’s matches and best of 5 sets for men’s matches). Winning a set is simply the first player to reach 6 games but have to be clear by at least 2 games. If your opponent wins 5 games you must win the set 7-5. If the set goes to 6-6 then a tie break is played and it’s simply the first player to 7 points.

One day a stranger came the city. It was very early in… the morning and yet there were many people in… the streets. He asked a man where all the people were going to, and the man told the stranger about Atlanta and the races. The stranger was surprised. "No woman, " he said, "will take my life from… me. "

The stranger went on… and walked for a long time along the streets. When he returned to… the gate of… the palace, he was covered in… dust. The porter looked at his dirty clothes and hesitated. But the stranger said to… him that he was the king's son, and the porter allowed him to go into… the palace.

And the young man entered the palace, where they gave … him water to wash himself and new clothes. When Atlanta saw a stranger at … the table that day, she turned on her eyes, because… she was sure he came to run in the race with her … the next morning. At first the guests were rather silent, but the stranger talked with… so much humour that soon there was a smile on… the faces of… all at … the table. After the meal, the king came to the stranger. "Sir, " he said, "your name and country are still unknown to us, but we invite you to stay as long as you like. "

"I thank you, " answered the stranger, "but I cannot tell … you my name, and I cannot stay in the house of any man for more than one night. I must start before/at dawn. I thank you for your kindness, and beg you to excuse me. I should like to rest now, because I have travelled far and must go a long distance yet. "

So he left the king and his daughter. But Atlanta could not forget the man who said farewell to her with… such a light heart. When she asked herself why she was interested in… him, she could find no answer. Yet she decided to speak to him again before… he left the palace … the next morning.
