 These four persons are called the tennis big four. Now, it is better at tennis than these people of others.In all the convetions in the world, these four people become the best 4 in many cases. From now on, I will introduce these four people.

 First,Novak Dokovic.He is the first place of a world ranking. He is from Serbia. He is 25 years old at present.His father is former Prosky and is also the great soccer player. He studied in German Munich and returned to Serbia after two years at the age of 12. And he became a pro 2003. He begins a rapid growth after going into the best 8 in the convention of France in 2006. He won in a large convention only after further growing up in 2007.

. He is 31 years old at present.He began tennis at the age of eight. He became a pro 1998 and won the victory in many conventions. He makes record of many of tennis communities, and is called the highest tennis player. First winning the victory in the convention of Australia of the four major conventions in 2004, his evaluation went up. He was in peak condition from 2005 to 2007. His percentage of victories was 95% at the time. He Protected the seat of the first place of a world ranking for 200 weeks, so this serves a world record. He is not so in good condition probably because of age these days.

Modern tennis

Last week,I introduced tennis`s history. Today I introduce modern tennis.I will talk about a change to the modern tennis. Tenis`s change is a thing about a finer change of a racket, a play style, etc.

 

 First, I describe change of a racket. Primitive ages were wooden rackets. There are some which were made from the bamboo in part, and to flip was made better than a tree. Then, what contained the fiber in steel, an aluminum alloy, a titanium system, graphite, resin, or resin, and the composite material which combined further resin with which character is different came to be used. While the jump of a ball became good, it contributed to the weight saving of the racket. Unlike the tree, temperature, humidity, and distortion were lost. There is no large change to there about area. But, the area of the portion which stretches a gut increased. The frame`s thickness becomes thicker and thicker, and the more it is thick, the more the speed of a ball goes up. Although what was made from the intestines of the sheep was using all the guts of the old racket, the thing using a synthetic fiber is popularity now. Now, "nylon" and the gut of "polyester" are in use. This is because nylon and polyester are cheaper.The speed of the ball went up by progress of the technology of a racket. Moreover, since it became light, it becomes easy to give a child. The quality of tennis also changed by progress in a racket, and tennis lovers also increased.

Second, I descrive change of people who do tennis.Although it was the sport which only the aristocrat was performing a long time ago, it spread also among people gradually. As the background, the price of rackets having become cheap and people become rich. It became a sport which anyone can do it now.
 Third, I descrive change of technique.Although the old pro's player was fighting backhand single hand, it began to become the mainstream after the player who strikes backhand with both hands at a certain time appeared. And the play style to do topspin is applied by a forehand with a time and which is pushed by power became in use more.

 Last, Idescrive change of tennis`s populality. The popularity of tennis increased with the time. Although it was unpopular in the time when no television is also still, it was taken up by media, such as television and a newspaper, and tennis became a sport nearer to people and also went up people's name recognition. Shuzo Matsuoka raised the popularity and notability of tennis. He raised many distinguished services in the convention in the world. About that, it will write with a next report. Although the popularity and notability of tennis went up thanks to him, the popularity from a small child also increased the influence of the anime "The prince of tennis." There are also very many people of having seen the anime among the persons of the age like the present college student and a high school student, and having begun tennis. And Kei Nishikori played tennis famous further in recent years. He records the Japanese successive generation highest ranking, and is still continuing progress. Their activity is raising the popularity of tennis.
 I talked about tennis`s history by the present last week and I talked tennis`s change in this week . I think that I will talk about the top player in the world next week.
 See you next week.

history

Today I introduce tennis`s history.

The history of tennis will go back to the century [ 15th ] B.C. In Egypt, it is carried out as one of the religious acts, and the mural painting on which the figure of people who hit each other's ball was drawn is discovered. This ball game was transmitted from Egypt to the Roman Empire empire, and became what asks the direct ancestor of the present tennis.
It generated in France around the 8th century, was called "La・So-yu" at the beginning, and was behind established with the France aristocrat's play. It is said that the reason in which this ball game prospered in France began from the priest of Christianity having had and copied interest to what the Muslim was performing as a religious act like the Egypt age. It still hits each other's ball with a palm or a glove at the time, and it is called Italy in the 14th century

that the prototype of the present racket appeared.

The old tennis court was located in the cloister, and the wall and the inclined ceiling surrounded the four quarters, and it was larger than the coat of present-day lawn tennis.
What existing is little, although it was much in fashion among the aristocrats of Europe from the 18th century to the 19th century and many coats were built. Unlike many other sports, the history of lawn tennis is short. Major Walter Crompton Wingfield (Britain) devised lawn tennis in December, 1873 as entertainment which delights the visitor invited when a garden party was opened in its landed property. It spread quickly focusing on the leisured classes of Britain or the United States around from the second half of the 19th century.
The 1st Wimbledon championship by 22 amateur athletes was held in London on July 19, 1877. The U.S. national lawn tennis association standardized the rule, and it systematized the game in 1881. The 1st convention of the "United States singles championship" was held in Newport in 1881, and the "United States woman singles championship" started in 1887. These are the prototypes of present U.S. Open. The Davis Cup of the confrontation game classified by country of boy tennis started in 1900.
History of tennis of Japan As for the beginning of the tennis in Japan, lawn tennis has spread through Yokohama in 1876. This will hit, two years after the Wingfield proof acquires a patent. Since supply of tools was difficult, it devised the software (soft type) tennis unique to Japan using a rubber ball, and it developed uniquely. The engineer of the Mita ground rubber will create the rubber ball for tennis for the first time in 1890, and tennis will spread from this even in Japan. Then, Keio adopted tennis formally in 1913 and it became the cause for tennis to spread among Japanese people.

In 1877, two owners of the "all England croquet club" located in London suburban Wimbledon will make and put the rule of new lawn tennis on the market with the designer of a ball paying attention to the ball. Seemingly, at this time, there was patent dispute among Major Wingfield. The "all England croquet club" changed the name to the "all England croquet and lawn tennis club", and held the tournament by the amateur athlete based on a new rule. the historical game used as this 1st Wimbledon gathers July 19, 1877, 22 participating players (boy singles), and 200 spectators (at the time of the final), and is held. The materials of a racket are also a leather string from an empty hand, and a glove in a time, Development of the bicycle industry after developing like a implement and entering especially in the 19th century made processing of rubber and iron easy, and is greatly concerned with development of modern tennis.
