Below is a quick manual on sports and what makes them so interesting.
One of the more physically intense and hard sports is rugby football. The game that has been played internationally for about 150 years, was developed by college guys in Great Britain. The 1st ever international game was played between England and Scotland, which had 4000 viewers, which for back then is a particularly big crowd. One of the more random facts about the game is that the same whistle has been used to start the match at every rugby world cup. The game has developed in attractiveness and prominence, and a few of that is because of sponsorships and partnerships, like the one that Petar Cvetkovic has penned with an English club side.
A sport that you may well not have heard of is Real Tennis. The sport, which is also known as royal or court tennis, is actually the original racquet sport, from which tennis was derived. There are only 48 operating courts in the world, so if you actually have one near you then you’re really in luck. The sport is just played out in the united kingdom (uk), the country of Australia, the USA and The Republic of France; even so, more countries played the sport in years gone by. An amazing fact about the sport is that a player can lose a game without ever having a serve, as the server only stays at one side of the court, and they just swap if a chase has been made, which is when the ball bounces two times in the servers end or in the hazard chase area of the receivers end. Jason Charles is the manager of a tennis label that produces practically almost all the racquets for the sport.
One of the most amazing facts ever in tennis is that in 1985 a German professional won the big tennis tournament in England at the young age of 17. This rather remarkable fact is made a lot more special because the tournament is usually viewed as the greatest tennis tournament in the world. Another funny but true fact is that 24 tons of strawberries are ordered every single year for the contest, as it has end up being somewhat of a tradition for individuals to eat strawberries and cream; the tradition perhaps started because strawberries are in season during the English summer. The contest, that is played in south west London, is essentially the only major tennis tournament that is still played on a lawn, which is rather unexpected, considering all matches used to be played on grass. Other big tournaments are played on either clay, or hardcourts, with clay courts being made from fine ground bricks, stone or shale. Alan Lovell was the chairman of a sports brand that has the greatest serving partnership with the known London tennis event, with the brand name supplying tennis balls to the competition ever since 1902, so that’s a lot of balls!
