Hi all, at this moment I want to share with you all about my hobby. as I wrote in a previous post, my hobby is playing tennis. This sport uses a racket that is larger than a badminton racket. Similar to badminton, tennis can also be played by singles and doubles players. The goal is to hit the ball to get into the opponent's area. So that it can increase the score to win the game.

According to historical records, tennis originated in France, which was recorded in the 11th century. It was only in the 13th century that this sport spread to Europe. The first tennis tournament was held in 1877 at Wimbledon, England. Source. From this tournament, the rules about this sport were born. and these rules also continue to grow and are applied to every tennis event held around the world.

Wow, it turns out that tennis is not an easy sport, it took me a year to control some of the techniques in this sport.
Yup, but the results never betray the effort, after a year I practice this tennis, I have won several awards. This award keeps me motivated to practice tennis. what's more, a lot of tennis tournaments are held where I live, this also spurs me to continue to improve my passion for this sport.
