【李娜再呛记者】关于网球的英语作文

　　网球比赛被分为单打和双打两种。运动员通过用网拍把网球掷到对方场地内。这种运动起源于19世纪末的欧洲，最初只流行于几个讲英语的国家，尤其是被上流社会人追宠。而现在网球运动以被纳入奥运会比赛项目并且成为大众便民运动，无论男女老少，还是不同肤色的人都可以参加。过去网球运动的规则一直墨守成规，直到1980年，那尘封已久的惯例才被打破 ，此前只有在1970年一次网球比赛中采用了决胜局的比赛方法，大多数原因是多数人只是把网球当做观赏性的一种运动而已。
 

　　Tennis is a game played between either two players ("singles") or two teams of two players ("doubles"). Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. Originating in Europe in the late 19th century, tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world, particularly among the upper classes. Tennis is now once again an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around the world. Except for the adoption of the tie-breaker in the 1970s, its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1890s. Along with its millions of players, millions of people follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments.
