Djokovic Demonstration Speech

In the second match of the day, Howard Payne led two sets to one and 14-13 in the fourth, but

When she got back from Japan and realized how bad he had beat Margaret Court, she knew she would have to play him. When it came time for the match, Billie didn’t care if he beat her or how bad he beat her, but her goal was to run him into the ground for every single point and make him earn it. She ended up winning 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in front of the largest crowd ever to watch a tennis match. This victory not only left an impact on women's tennis, but also the entire sport of tennis. King had mentioned that this changes the entire puzzle.

Points are scored when after serving the ball, the server wins the rally. If the player returning serve wins the rally, no points are scored for either player, and the player who won the rally retains the right to serve. Keeping the ball low and hitting it high gives the opponent time to get to the ball before it bounces twice.

On the afternoon of August 8th, 2016 a young girl was facing the tennis match of her life. The Girls 14s Nationals were coming to a close and the championship trophy was only 3 games and 1 set away. Everything she had dreamed for was so close, yet so far. The extremely sunny sky glared into her eyes, making it impossible to think. But she couldn’t lose hope now, if she won this match, she would be crowned the Girls 14s Nationals Champion for Tennis. All she had to do was clutch this game. Just a few more points…

The Scots and Dons battled in the final set, with the scores very close or a tie. Most of the points scored from both teams were small tips over the net that caught the opposing team off guard. Aragon demonstrated their experience and left their passion on the court, resulting in their win against the

Yet, Tomic seems spoiled and entitled, and when he’s on the court, the urgency and competitive fire that Hewitt carried is lacking. Most recently in Madrid in his match against Italian Fabio Fognini, Tomic held his racquet backwards on match point and watched the serve fly past him to lose. Brace yourselves; it’s tough to watch because of the shameful nature of it.

Two homegrown talents dominated the tournament in the 1960s. Roy Emerson won a record five consecutive titles from 1963 to 1967 and six titles overall - a feat matched in the open era by Novak Djokovic in 2016. It was a similar tale of Aussie triumph in the women's game, with Margaret Court collecting seven consecutive trophies from 1960 to 1966 out of a total of eleven. In modern times, Serena Williams is by far the most prolific female champion with a record-breaking number of Grand Slams under her

Bobby Riggs, who was formerly ranked the number one tennis player in the world, challenged King to a match (Lankhof). Although it was somewhat of a publicity stunt and Riggs was well past his prime at the age of 56, the game symbolized all that King had been working for throughout her career. More than 30,000 people watched in the stadium and fifty million others viewed from their televisions. King recalls, “I knew I had to win. I knew that we had worked so hard and that if Billie Jean King didn’t win that everything we had worked so hard for, for two and a half years, would go up in smoke in two and a half hours” (Calabria).

Serena’s name a finally landed her the 304th ranking out of 350 spots. In that same year, she beat multiple players, including the 4th and 8th ranking spot, and made it to the semi finals all in one season. It is safe to say, no one was expecting her to beat two top ten players and move up to top 20 players within nine months. Everyone was sleeping, including venus, until Serena would play the number one ranking tennis player and beat her. This momentous moment, defied all odds. Serena was the first one to win a single grand slam title between the sister act. This grand slam title had yet to be professional verified by playing the only one left, Venus. This match was disappointing but the fact remained, Serena beat her older

Whoooooosh! If you listened closely enough early Wednesday morning, you may have heard Andy Murray’s sigh of relief in the distance. Murray’s nemesis and world No. 2 Novak Djokovic was defeated in the second round of the Australian Open.

“W,” he countered. I spun my racket on the ground and when it stopped, I looked at the butt to find it had landed on W. He opted to serve first and just like that, we were off. I had awaited this match for nigh on a year. We possessed the opportunity to conquer our biggest rivals in our house. Our entire team carried a mutual hatred of the Alexander Dawson School. As an expensive private school, they had a picturesque campus, state-of-the-art food services, lavish busses, and their students all had the same snobby attitude. We had a small campus with a low budget meal service. We just got our beautiful new tennis courts this summer and we could not let Dawson claim their first win on them before us. As far as the Peak to Peak tennis program was concerned, this was the championship. It was time to ruin Dawson’s season and claim the battle of Lafayette, Colorado!

Tennis dates back many centuries ago, and is believed to be played by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. It has evolved over the years, and today the tennis style is tremendously different from previous centuries. Many different tennis styles have been adapted over the years, and today tennis has become a more aggressive sport. It is very different from when the players use to ding the ball back and forth across the net. Today tennis is played with a lot more force and it has become a more engaging sport from the sport it used to be just a century ago. The William Sisters, Venus and Serena Williams, have had a huge impact on the game of tennis. When they peaked to fame it changed the way everyone saw the game of tennis.

Many would agree that officiating a tennis match would be a difficult task. While the officials are highly trained, at the professional a level tennis balls can be moving up to 160 miles per hour. With both power and placement being an essential parts of tennis, it is important to have the most precise officiating and scoring possible. Prior to the invention of the Hawkeye System, tennis was officiated by a line judge and only the line judge. This left much room for error during matches and could very well be the difference between a player winning and losing a match.

Purpose Statement: The purpose of my speech is to inform my audience about the history of tennis and about tennis itself.

A tennis player or players might win one Slam but they must win all four to achieve the honor of winning the Grand Slam. They must be able to play on different turfs and in different environments. It is not an easy task and that’s why only the best win. Each Slam in unique like the country it
