I like tennis for I think
the players wearing tennis cap, cool suits and fashion shoes very cool
especially female players wearing tennis dresses. Ok, that’s kidding. Now let
us take a look to the charming sport—tennis.
Tennis
is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of
two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike
a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court.
Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages.
The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in
wheelchairs.
Roger
Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who held the ATP number one
position for a record 237 consecutive weeks. As of 31 May 2011; he is ranked
World No. 3 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Federer has won a
men's record 16 Grand Slam singles titles, holding at least one Grand Slam
title every single year from Wimbledon 2003 until the Australian Open in 2010.
He is one of seven male players to capture the career Grand Slam and one of
three (with Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal) to do so on three different surfaces
(clay, grass and hard courts). Many sports analysts, tennis critics, and former
and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all
time.
Roger Federer made it five straight wins in a row as
he reached the semi finals of the French Open Tuesday at the expense of home
favorite Gael Monfils. The third seed clinched a 6-4 6-3 7-6 victory on his
third match point after two hours and 34 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier. It
set up a mouth watering semi final clash with second seed Novak Djokovic, who
received a quarterfinal bye when his Italian opponent Fabio Fognini pulled out
with a thigh muscle injury.16-time grand slam champion Federer has enjoyed an
untroubled passage to his sixth French Open semifinal at Roland Garros and
apart from falling an early break of service down was rarely extended by
Monfils. Federer recovered to level before clinching the opener and quickly
broke twice to take command in the second. Monfils retrieved one of the breaks
but Federer served out at 5-3 to take a comfortable two-set lead.
I very enjoy Roger Federer for he is so cool when he plays
tennis. The game is truly superior matchups.
