Tennis for this Miss... the artful game

Of all the games, I like lawn tennis most. I have my reasons for liking lawn tennis. Firstly it is not a violent sport. Hockey or football is not my game, for they need robust strength. It is physical led impossible for a weak man like me to bear the heavy strain of either hockey or football. Secondly, tennis is not so risky as hockey, football or cricket. It is a safe game; even a child can play it without breaking his bones. It may be argued that it is cowardly to fear danger, that a brave girl must face danger and overcome it rather than avoid it. But I strongly believe that discretion is the better part of valour.

Lastly, why I like lawn tennis is more or less personal. I confess my weakness; I am fond of playing tennis. I take a pride the playing this game. I feel it is superior to the other games. Moreover, I derive more pleasure and satisfaction from playing lawn tennis than from any other game. people be thoughtless to vote for football or hockey. Otherwise they would have decided in favour of lawn tennis.

It has everything going for it. Tennis has class and is truly a game for the classes, not the masses. It is a delicate art form and as one sees tennis players like Sharapova or Sania Mirza, one feels that they are really into ballet dancing.
