"A little bit, maybe a little bit, especially since I didn't get to play last year." -Venus Williamson the question, if she was aware, that she has never won at Melbourne Park. Well Vee, knowing that you haven't made the quarters at The Aussie Open in five years, the last year would definitely made the difference...
Tennis is a game played between two players or between two teams of two players. Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time of bright yellow colour) over a net into the opponent's court.
The game originated in Europe in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis", but its roots go back to the ancient racquet sport of "real tennis", which itself evolved from an earlier ball game played around the 12th century in France.
The term "tennis" derives from the French word tenez, which means "take it" — a warning from the server to the receiver.
