Tennis
Description
The modern game of tennis can be traced back to 18th-century France, where it was once played using bare hands instead of rackets. An overview of the game is provided in this program, with information on techniques, terminology, types of racquets and tennis shoes, categories, and variations of the field of play according to International Tennis Federation rules. Viewers learn details such as what constitutes a set, and the serve, forehand drive, backhand drive, volley, drop shot, drop shot return, and smash are all demonstrated.
