Lawn tennis has become the most popular game in recent time in the whole world. Its various tournaments have also become very expensive. Regarding the origin of lawn tennis, after analysis of certain facts, it can be said that the game was first played only on grass in France in 12th ball over a mound. To start with, tennis was played by monks. But later on, it became the favorite sport of kings and aristocrats. After that it diverted subsequently to middle classes. The credit to develop this game goes to Major W.C Wingfield who introduced lawn tennis in 19th century in England. The first tennis club was established in 1872 at Leamington, Spain. The first Wimbledon Championship was held in1877 for men only. The competitions for women were started in Wimbledon Championship in 1884. The game of Lawn Tennis remained in Olympic Games till 1924. The Lawn Tennis was again included in Seoul Olympics i.e. in 1988.

The player, who wins the toss, may choose the right of serve or to be receiver or the side/end. 2. Server and Receiver. The player, who serves first, is called server and the player who receives the service is called receiver. 3. Service. The player who performs service stands with both the feet behind the base line. His feet should be in stationary position. In this position, he should project the ball in the air with his hand and strike it with his racket before it hits the ground. The service is completed, when the racket strikes the ball. 4. Service Fault.

    To establish a connection, TCP uses a three-way handshake. Before a client attempts to connect with a server, the server must first bind to and listen at a port to open it up for connections: this is called a passive open. Once the passive open is established, a client may initiate an active open. To establish a connection, the three-way (or 3-step) handshake occurs:…

    Although volleyball may seem like the same sport whether it’s played on an indoor volleyball court or an outdoor sand volleyball court, there is actually a big difference between the two. Some people prefer sand volleyball over court volleyball, but I prefer court volleyball. Both courts are the same size (18m x 9m (29'6" x 59')). When it comes to having all of the positions covered, court volleyball is superior; with six people on the court, it is much easier to defend the entire area.…

    The origins of tennis are mysterious and unknown. Although some historians have claimed that tennis was developed as far back as Ancient Egypt. However, the first recorded ball and racquet game was first played by monks located somewhere in southern France around the beginning of the twelfth century. They usually played with their hands and hit the ball against a wall. However, the monks soon developed crude instruments with which to strike the ball. They also developed the first type of playing court, which was usually the monastery courtyard. It is there where they devised a crude net with a rope to divide the playing areas. Over the next few centuries, the game spread to several countries in Europe, and it developed several variations. By the start of the nineteenth century, the game became popular and competitive in Great Britain and quickly developed into today's modern tennis, which now consists of many organizations with numerous levels of competition for all ages and skill.…

    I was first introduced to the sport when I was only two tennis racquets tall. My parents had picked up the sport recreationally and to began to play more and more often. Consequently, I spent an extensive amount of time at the country club either watching them, pretending to be a ball-boy at the US Open, or playing with Hot Wheels. During the lengthy, sizzling summers typical of southwest Georgia I would swim at the pool and mess around on the tennis court with my 24-inch racquet playing games like Jail and Simon Says. After a few years I…

    The tennis serve is one of the most scrutinized athletic motions in all of sports. It is extremely complex and involves many parts that must move in synchronization in order to execute a proper serve. The mechanics of the serve need to be solid because there is a very slim margin for error. When done effectively a serve will have good placement and power to start the point where the server is in an offensive position and can control the rally. The beauty of the serve is that even though everyone tries to teach it in a technical way, no two players will serve exactly the same. How a person serves is influenced by several factors such as height, strength, and coordination. Taller players can hit the ball with a more downward trajectory and with a lot more power than shorter players who have to use a flatter trajectory and more spin. Less coordinated players tend to try and use fewer muscle groups so that they have less moving parts to worry about and by doing this they limit their serving abilities. There is a lot of variation so for the purpose of this paper I focused on the flat serve which generates the most velocity and power of all the service motions.…
