Tennis
is one of the favourite individual games. Tennis can be played on a grass court or a hard court. It is played at school during the games' lesson in summer usually by girls, but now also by boys as well. Some employees enjoy a quick game during the lunch-hour break. The Open Lawn Tennis Championships are held annually in July at Wimbledon, in London. The championships are watched by thousands of spectators and TV viewers all over the country. Most tennis players regard the Wimbledon tourna¬ment (competition) as the world championship. In tennis, as in other cases, the amateur sport has given way to profes¬sionalism, and the best tennis players in the world are those who make it their livelihood.
