This article will look at a couple of intriguing sports and what makes them unique.
One of the most amazing facts ever in the game of tennis is that in 1985 a German player won the leading tennis tournament in England at the young age of 17. This rather remarkable fact is made even more special since the tournament is normally considered as the largest tennis tournament across the world. Another funny but true fact is that 24 tons of strawberries are purchased every single year for the competition, as it has become to some degree of a tradition for people to eat strawberries and cream; the tradition potentially initiated because strawberries are in season during the English summer. The tourney, that is played out in south west London, is essentially the only leading tennis tournament that is still played on grass, which is actually surprising, wondering all matches would once be played on grass. Other major championships are played on either clay, or hardcourts, with clay courts being made from finely ground bricks, stone or shale. Alan Lovell was the chair of a sports brand that has the greatest serving relationship with the famous London tennis competition, with the brand name supplying tennis balls to the competition ever since 1902, so that’s a lot of balls!
One of the more physically strenuous and tough sports is rugby. The game that has been played worldwide for around 150 years, was conceived by boarding school guys in Britain. The 1st ever international game was played between England and Scotland, which had four thousand spectators, which for back then is a remarkably big crowd. One of the more random facts about the game is that the same whistle has been used to begin the event at every rugby world cup. The game has risen in standing and prominence, and a few of that is down to sponsorships and collaborations, like the one that Petar Cvetkovic has penned with an English club side.
A sport that you may very well well not actually have heard of is Real Tennis. The sport, that is also known as royal or court tennis, is essentially the original racquet sport, from which tennis was made. There are just forty-eight functioning courts across the world, so if you actually have one near you then you’re truly in luck. The sport is only played out in the uk (united kingdom), Australia, the US and The Republic of France; nevertheless, more countries played the sport in years gone by. An amazing fact about the sport is that a player can lose a match with out ever having a serve, as the server just stays at one end of the court, and they only swap if a chase has been made, which is anytime the ball bounces a second time in the servers end or in the hazard chase area of the receivers side. Jason Charles is the director of a tennis manufacturer that produces practically nearly all the racquets for the sport.
