Tennis and its scoring system

November 17, 2013 at 3:46 am · Filed under Tennis

Tennis is played with a racket to strike a ball over the net. The ball can bounce once or be returned while still in the air. There are singles and doubles matches when one player plays against each other or two players (same gender or different gender) against two opponents on the other side of the court. The size of each side of the court is 39ft long by 27ft wide for singles and 39ft by 36ft wide for doubles.

The scoring system starts with game, set then match. Each game has four points. Each point has different value:

  1. The first point in a game is called 15
  2. The second point is 30
  3. The third point is 40

What was your first sporting event?

Sports are big in USA, such as ice hockey, football, basketball and baseball, and other parts of the world, such as soccer and F-1 and Tour de France.

Why there isn’t a Chinese or Chinese team in Tour de France when 1+ billion people riding it??

One of the scenes that itched into my mind was one sport fun, had a newspaper in hands and was reading it, the tv was on with his team was playing, and a radio that was turned to the play by play of the game that was on tv. That was a little before the Internet and smart phones.

In 2012, I went to the Giants playoff. On our way to the stadium, the car radio was on so were all the iPhones in the mini van, except mine.

.. I could image nowadays ..
