The Best Game in the<br />

World<br />

Sports have so many benefits: your body gets<br />

a workout, you socialise and you learn new<br />

skills. Everyone, if able, should take part in at<br />

least one sport. But which one is the best?<br />

Why, tennis of course! Here are five reasons<br />

why tennis aces all other sports (see what I<br />

did there?).<br />

1. Challenging<br />

Tennis may seem straight<strong>for</strong>ward. It is,<br />

after all, two people hitting a ball at each<br />

other. Really though, it is anything but. Tennis is technically complex<br />

because it involves hitting a moving ball. Players must master a far<br />

wider range of strokes than, <strong>for</strong> example, golfers or cricketers.<br />

2. Great workout<br />

When playing tennis, you’re constantly moving and using most of your<br />

muscles. Tennis is not a contact sport. If you’re healthy, you can keep<br />

playing well into your seventies and eighties—or even older!<br />

3. Challenges you mentally<br />

At first, your main focus will be mastering the strokes. Eventually, your<br />

focus will shift to strategies you can use to outsmart your opponent.<br />

Tennis stimulates your mind like no other sport!<br />

4. Easily accessible<br />

Tennis is played worldwide. It doesn’t matter where you live, chances<br />

are there will be a tennis court nearby. All you need is a racquet and<br />

tennis balls. If you don’t have a partner, you can practise against a<br />

wall or join a club and meet new people.<br />

5. Minimal injuries<br />

Most tennis injuries are related to overuse. If you regulate your time<br />

on the court, the chance of a serious injury is minimal. Compared to<br />

contact sports, tennis is really safe.<br />

There are many sports that can be beneficial to your overall health.<br />

I believe tennis provides benefits on a physical, emotional, mental and<br />

social level. It’s the best game and I think everybody should play!<br />
