Tennis fans–August2, 3 & 5
When the Rogers cup meets a long weekend, then our long week schedule will be fixed automatically. This is because the majority members in our family are tennis fans.
It started a young man who loves tennis since his university period. The reason is, the world famous woman tennis player Li Na, who is holding the world #2 place currently was born in the same city as this young man. So tennis was quite advanced and popular in their place. Unfortunately this young man was not rich enough to afford buying a racquet, no need to say to play in a court at that time.
He had fun playing basketball and soccer which bunch of players need only one ball; He participated school track and field run and won the 2nd place on 200m during his master degree. But tennis still is one of his dream sport.
When he found out that he could not only afford a racquet, he could also afford club membership. He then bought 3 racquets for each of us with a family club membership, and quickly fell in love with this sport, that was 6 years ago.
Year by year, he trained his son became his high school double player for 3 years. He run as his younger son parents coach at ORC for 3 years. He was also the group C champaign in his club 2 year ago and 2nd place last year.
Basically, I don’t endorse playing 3hrs straight for only to win a friendly game, a suitable exercise is just fine for me. But matches always are part of the fascination for sports. So as long as your guys having fun, go for it.
Recent years, he and his son registered for 2 club memberships. He is busy with the 2 club events on a daily basis. His racquets, shoes are turning brand names. The stringing machine didn’t save much money yet, but saved lot of his time for visiting sportcheck when racquet was broken.
Each year, we always laugh at him. Because he might be the first person who went out to play at the end of winter and probably the last person who put away his racquet before winter comes. Sometimes he needs jacket and gloves, so we ask him: is tennis a summer sport or winter sport?
This is called Tennis Fans!
Tennis fans not only playing on the courts. They also spend time being audience.
Every year, the 4 Grand Slams, 1 Master Cup and 9 ATP1000 is one of the reason for tennis being popular in the worldwide.
My family fans don’t want to miss the games, so stay over night or get up at midnight happens. The most shows in our TV are tennis, Live or Replay never ends. For a long time, I might not know the player’s names, but I definitely familiar with all the famous player faces.
And whenever I ask what’s going on the games, all the 3 fans can provide me complete details of the player names and their careers. They always wondering why mom asked the same question more than 3 times and still gets confused at something.
Sorry fans, mom just never focused on the games, because when your guys are watching, mom might busying on cooking, cleaning the table, moping the floor or preparing for the next day……
But this year I decide to watch the Rogers Cup with you.
Wow, it is awesome than I expected.
Thanks God for the poor young man whose dream comes true!
