		She picked up her first tennis racket at age 10, "a maroon racket with maroon nylon strings and a faux-velvet grip" she bought for $8 at a local sporting goods store.After her first group lesson, she was hooked.
		When Australian Margaret Court was beaten by Riggs in May 1973, though, in a game that came to be known as the "Mother's Day Massacre," she changed her mind.
		She recalls the "circus of the surreal." The 29-year-old King entered the court, for example, on an "Egyptian litter with orange and red feathers as big as palmettos pluming from a gold lamé throne." Riggs, the 55-year-old former champion possibly past his prime, arrived in a rickshaw pulled by a bevy of lovely showgirls.

		Tennis trainers are quick to tick off the differences between a match and a football practice.
		Most tennis players are clad in loose-fitting, white attire and, of course, don't toil with 15 pounds of pads nor a helmet that can leave their head feeling like a kiln.
		Tennis players aren't at the mercy of a demanding coach; they can rest between points; and they can adjust their style to affect the duration of points.

		Learning tennis is based on developing a ‘feel' for the whole stroke through repetition, not on learning each and every intricate mechanical movement.
		The same is true for tennis, if you would like to learn how to play under pressure you must put yourself in pressure situations over and over and over again and consistently choose to go for your shots.
		Your battle on the tennis court, as far as timing and rhythm is concerned, is to learn how to back off when you are overplaying and step it up when you are underplaying.

	Mario Power Tennis Review - Gamecube Review - Australia's PAL Gaming Network
		As for the Gooper Blooper court, the court surface is made up of water panels that cause the court size to either expand or shrink this increasing/decreasing the chances of landing your shot in/out.
		The arena and court side graphics spoil things somewhat with the crowd in particular disappointingly containing only a couple of 2D models that are repeated over and over, but luckily the only time you see the court is in the opening and closing animations.
		Mario Power Tennis is a must-own for anyone looking for a great mutliplayer game, but for the single player there's not quite enough challenge, or a solid career mode like the GBC games, to recommend spending out full price on.
