À propos de cet audio
This Slice is the biography of tennis!
We'll start with the monks amusing themselves in the monasteries by playing jeu de paume, and we'll trace the history and development of the game right up to the present day.
Along the way, we'll find out why it's called tennis, and why we use that weird scoring system. We'll learn about the major tournaments of the modern Open Era: the Grand Slams – Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open – and the ATP and WTA Finals. We'll see how these tournaments work and how a young up-and-coming player might rise through the ranks to one day step out onto court at one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.
We'll even go behind the scenes at Wimbledon, to find out how this most prestigious event is staged with such precision and class every year. And, of course, we'll look at grass, tennis balls and strawberries!
It's an ideal gift for tennis lovers, and for less than the price of a coffee!
