	Tennis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tennis is now an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around the world.
		Tennis has a long history (deriving from the 'jeu de paume'), but its establishment as the modern sport can be dated to two separate roots.
		Tennis comes from the French tenez, the imperative form of the verb tenir, to hold: This was a cry used by the player serving in royal tennis, meaning "I am about to serve!" (rather like the cry "Fore!" in golf).

	Table tennis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Table tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world in terms of player numbers, as well as being one of the newest of the major sports.
		Table tennis is a sport where two or four players hit a ball back and forth to each other, with a racket on a table, in a manner similar to tennis.
		Spin plays a large part in the modern sport of table tennis, and the composition of the rubber and the combination of sponge and rubber is designed to maximize the amount of spin and speed a player can impart to the ball.

	Sports Rules - Tennis
		Tennis (also known as lawn tennis when played outside on grass) is a popular indoor and outdoor game.
		The second point is served from the left, and the third point is served from the right.
		The racket used can be either a small size tennis racket or a specific short tennis racket, which is smaller than a standard tennis racket and does not have strings, instead it has a hard plastic mesh face, so it looks almost the same as an ordinary tennis racket.

		A great player who's eyes never left her contact point was Steffi Graf, I have a photograph of her, where the ball is on her strings, flatten at impact and her eyes and head are focused directly at the contact point.
		For some reason that I fail to see, the tennis establishment continues to embrace Luke and Murphy Jensen by giving them a tennis podium to perform their antics, may it be riding a motorcycle on court, high fiving the fans, hitting trick shots, falling on the ground, they'll do anything for a laugh.
		Tennis is not "easy", it puts all the physical demands on the body that any other challenging sport does, and then some.

	Tennis Raquet Physics
		The axis of rotation is called the conjugate point with respect to the impact point, and the impact point is called the centre of percussion (COP) for that particular axis of rotation.
		The reason is that the effective mass of the racquet at that point is equal to the mass of the ball.
		The rules of tennis specify that the ball must bounce to a height between 53 and 58 inches when dropped from a height of 100 inches onto a concrete slab.

		The points race is a good thing, adopt it fully, promote it properly, forget the past and move on, otherwise, go back to the old 52 week ranking system, the same one that people used to complain about.
		The old system where players ducked tournaments and each other to protect their ranking, had poor results dropped, had one good tournament and rode it for a whole year, made it virtually impossible for players to reach the top (hence the great notoriety for getting to number one) was wrong.
		Personally the Davis Cup is irrelevant, the idea of team tennis and country against country will not be a big selling point in an individual sport, leave that kind of competition and nationalistic pride to the Olympics, even a revamped Davis Cup will never be a big event in the US.

	Match Point Tennis
		If the same player wins the next point, he wins the game; if the other player wins the next point the score is again called deuce; and so on, until a player wins the two points immediately following the score at deuce, when the game is scored for that player.
		The Server wins the point: If the ball served touches the Receiver or anything which he wears or carries, before it hits the ground.
		During the playing of a match in a team competition, a player may receive coaching from a captain who is sitting on the court only when he changes ends at the end of a game, but not when he changes ends during a tie-break game.

		No photo essays, but yet we have great looking athletes, dressed in the most colorful and attractive clothing, asking and getting the most out of their bodies, in a matter that shows and expresses the human physique at its best, but still is not the subject of photographers envy.
		The reason: The photographers assigned to tennis are NOT tennis players, they are capturing pictures that are not properly showing the preparation, anticipation of the ball, the vision of the court, the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory.
		I don't like team tennis, our sport is at its best when played one-on one, team tennis especially in the WTT format will never challenge the individual to bring his best to the court and will always be an exhibition and fluff.
