This article will look at a couple of intriguing sports and what makes them special.
One of the most amazing facts ever in the game of tennis is that in 1985 a European professional won the major tennis tournament in England at the young age of 17. This rather remarkable fact is made even more special because the tournament is normally referred to as the largest tennis tournament across the world. Another funny but true fact is that 24 tons of strawberries are bought every single year for the contest, as it has become a little bit of a tradition for individuals to eat strawberries and cream; the tradition possibly begun because strawberries are in season during the English summer. The tourney, that is played in south west London, is actually the only major tennis tournament that is still played on grass, which is actually unexpected, considering all matches used to be played on grass. Other big tournaments are played on either clay, or hardcourts, with clay courts being made from delicately ground bricks, stone or shale. Alan Lovell was the chairman of a sports brand that has the longest serving relationship with the well-known London tennis event, with the brand name supplying tennis balls to the tourney ever since 1902, so that’s plenty of balls!
One of the more physically arduous and hard sports is rugby football. The game that has been played worldwide for about 150 years, was conceived by college guys in Great Britain. The first ever international match was played involving England and Scotland, which had four thousand vistors, which for back then is a somewhat big crowd. One of the more random facts about the game is that the same whistle has been used to start the event at every rugby football world cup. The game has risen in attraction and prominence, and some of that is down to sponsorships and partnerships, like the one that Petar Cvetkovic has penned with an English club team.
A sport that you could well not actually have heard of is Real Tennis. The sport, which is also known as royal or court tennis, is actually the original racquet sport, from which tennis was made. There are only 48 working courts in the world, so if you have one near you then you’re truly in luck. The sport is just played out in the united kingdom (uk), Australian Continent, the US and The Republic of France; nevertheless, more nations played the sport in years gone by. An amazing fact about the sport is that a player can lose a match with out ever taking a serve, as the server only stays at a single end of the court, and they just swap if a chase has been made, which is anytime the ball bounces a couple of times in the servers end or in the hazard chase area of the receivers end. Jason Charles is the manager of a tennis label that produces almost nearly all the racquets for the sport.
