The Controversy Of Adapting In Tennis

Gender inequality in professional tennis is a real and alarming issue, from the pay gap between mens' and womens' tennis players to the low media coverage of women's professional tennis. This issue even goes as far as how differently tennis commentators discuss and analyze mens tennis as opposed to how they discuss and analyze womens tennis. When commentators discuss men's tennis they solely focus on the skill of the players, but when they discuss women's tennis they place more importance on the appearance of the female players, rather than their skill. This instance of gender inequality in professional tennis is further exacerbated by the differences in advertisements for male tennis players and female tennis players. The advertisements involving male tennis players display their athleticism and tennis abilities, whereas the advertisements including female tennis players are appearance-focused, with the females often wearing little clothing. This is corroborated by the popular belief that focusing on the physical appearance of female athletes is the only way in which generating money from women's professional sports is distinctly possible (Fink, 2015, p. 338). Female professional tennis players train just as hard as the men do, thus the gender inequality that exists in the sport is not necessarily a result of how women perform on the court. It is rather a result of how society perceives women playing in professional sports overall, which the mass media is partially to blame

While looking through the three lenses of family, biogenetic, sociolegal, and role lens, it is very hard to limit yourself to only agree with one. However, while studying these three ideas I have come to the consensus that the most prominent and practical lens to look through is the sociolegal lens. Although one cannot discredit the family values of others, throughout my lifetime I have experienced sociolegal family lifestyles. An area in my life that I have seen this lens play a huge role is throughout my tennis career. A unique experience that I have been able to be apart of throughout my college adventure revolves around Mizzou athletics. Playing tennis here at the University has been one of the most rewarding

In tennis serve the summation of forces is important as athletes wants to reach maximum speed and accuracy, which through the correct sequence of body movement this greater force will be generated (Geiblinger, 2016).

I was late in entering the realm of tennis as a lanky eleven-year-old. Among the countless midgets who had gripped onto a racquet since birth, my presence was uncomfortably conspicuous. Yet, I unabashedly attended every lesson, willing to stay for hours.

With tennis not being as popular as other sports in the African American culture, participating in this for all four years in high school has been a tough road. Often finding myself as the only minority participating in a tournament, it can be very uncomfortable when others observe you. In some very unfortunate circumstances, I've even heard the occasional racial slur. This never bothers me however because

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

People, mostly men, say “how can you get hurt from doing kicks, jumps, and yelling?” well the answer is clear, ignorance. If someone under estimate the danger of such sport people can easily be seriously injured for life. Cheerleading is the most common sport to have concussions and the athlete not know it. Besides concussions an athlete can break bones, get cut,

As far as most people are concerned, every school tennis court is pretty much the same. The only prominent difference is the surface, whether it is a hard court, clay, or even grass. While I was a member of the Brewer High School Tennis team, I can recall vivid details of the time I spent participating in inter-school scrimmages and district tournaments as well as the other teammates involved. The tennis court I played on was surrounded by a steel, vinyl coated chain-link fence with aged and weathered benches located in the outer boundaries of the court. In addition, the surface of the court was coated with a green, acrylic paint with white boundary lines painted where necessary. There was one practice session where I accepted a challenge to

Golf tournaments may be silent most of the time but that does not mean they aren't exciting. A spectator was once arrested after throwing a hot dog at Tiger. The man yelled Woods' name and heaved a wiener toward him at the Frys.com Open in San Martin, California, in October 2011.

Australian men’s tennis used to be on top of the world. Aussie legends of the game like Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, John Newcombe, Pat Cash, Patrick Rafter and most recently Lleyton Hewitt, all came from “The Land Down Under” to wage war on the tennis world. Today, Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios carry the Aussie banner. Unfortunately, while they’re definitely talented, Tomic and Kyrgios’ immature and selfish mentalities is their downfall, and it’s preventing Australian men’s tennis from reaching the top again.

Participants also land up touching each other in the spirt of the game. Like Noffke v. Bakke, plain meaning & spirit rules of cheerleading implicates the statute involves a significant amount of physical contact Id. at 366.

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.

There’s so much power that goes into a tennis swing because the ball is coming at you at such a high speed. It makes sense that you would make a face while returning the ball, and we’re so glad
