By Massimo Casella

14. CHARACTERISTICS
Tennis is a sport played between
two players (singles) or
between two teams of two
players each (doubles). Each
player uses a strung racquet to
strike a hollow rubber ball
covered with felt over a net into
the opponent's court.

15. ITEMS
Racquet
Modern tennis racquets vary in length,
weight, and head size. Weights of a
racquet also vary between 226g to 353g.
Most of the rackets are made of synthetic
materials such as carbon fibre, ceramics or
alloys. The casing cord has been replaced
mainly by synthetic materials like nylon
Ball
A hollow rubber ball covered with felt, most
of the time Optic Yellow, but can be any
color or even two-tone.

16. ITEMS
Court and net
Tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually
grass, clay, or a hard court of concrete and/or
asphalt.
The net is 1.07 m high at the posts and 91.4 cm high
in the centre.
Lines
The lines that delineate the court are called base line
(farthest back) and service line (middle of the court).
The outermost lines that make up the length are
called the doubles sidelines.
The area between a doubles sideline and the
nearest singles sideline is called the doubles alley,
which is considered playable in doubles play.
The line dividing the service line in two is called the
centre line or centre service line.

17. SHOTS
Service
A serve (or, more formally, a "service") in tennis is a shot to
start a point. The serve is initiated by tossing the ball into the air
and hitting it into the diagonally opposite service box without
touching the net. The serve may be hit under- or overhand.
Drive
For a right-handed player, the forehand is a stroke that begins
on the right side of the body, continues across the body as
contact is made with the ball, and ends on the left side of the
body.
Backhand
For right-handed players, the backhand is a stroke that begins
on the left side of their body, continues across their body as
contact is made with the ball, and ends on the right side of their
body. It can be executed with either one hand or with both and
is generally considered more difficult to master than the
forehand.

18. GRAND SLAMS
The four Grand Slam tournaments are considered to be the most
prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. They are held annually and

Wimbledon, and the US Open. Apart from the Olympic Games, Davis Cup,
Fed Cup, and Hopman Cup, they are the only tournaments regulated by

19. Rowing
By Valerio Santarelli

20. Rowing is a sport in which
athletes race against each other
on rivers, on lakes or on the
ocean, depending upon the type of
race and the discipline. The boats
are propelled by the reaction
forces on the oar blades as they
are pushed against the water. The
sport can be both recreational,
focusing on learning the
techniques required, and
competitive where physical size
and overall fitness plays a large
role. It is also one of the
oldest Olympic sports. In the
United States, high school
and College rowing is sometimes
referred to as crew.

21. Basic information
While rowing, the athlete sits in the boat facing backwards
(towards the stern), and uses the oars which are held in place
by the oarlocks to propel the boat forward (towards the bow).
This may be done on a river, lake, sea, or other large body of
water. The sport requires strong core balance as well as
physical strength and cardiovascular endurance.
There are many different types of competition. These include
endurance races, time trials, stake racing, bumps racing, and
the side-by-side format used in theOlympic games. The many
different formats are a result of the long history of the sport, its
development in different regions of the world, and specific
local requirements and restrictions.

22. There are two forms of rowing:
In sweep or sweep-oar rowing, each rower has one oar, held
with both hands. This is generally done in pairs, fours, and
eights. Each rower in a sweep boat is referred to either
as port orstarboard, depending on which side of the boat the
rower's oar extends to. The port side is referred to as stroke
side, and the starboard side as bow side; this applies even if
the stroke oarsman is rowing on bow side and/or the bow
oarsman on stroke side.
In sculling each rower has two oars (or sculls), one in each
hand. Sculling is usually done without a coxswain,
in quads, doubles or singles. The oar in the sculler's right
hand extends to port (stroke side), and the oar in the left hand
extends to starboard (bow side).

23. How to row
The two fundamental reference points in the rowing stroke are
the catch, immediately prior to the oar blade's placement in the
water, and the extraction (also known as the finish or the
release) where the rower removes the oar blade from the
water. From the catch, the rower places the blade in the water,
then applies pressure to the oar by simultaneously pushing the
seat toward the bow of the boat by extending the legs. As the
legs approach full extension, the rower pivots his or her torso
toward the bow of the boat and then finally pulls the arms
towards his or her chest.

24. Types of 'sweep' boats
2- (coxless pair)
2+ (coxed pair - this type of boat is rarely
used)
4- (coxless four)
4+ (coxed four)
8+ (coxed eight)
Types of 'sculling' boats
1x (single)
2x (double)
4x (quad)
4x+ (coxed quad - this type of boat is
generally only used by juniors)
8x+ (octuple - this type of boat is rarely
used, and will be for junior use only)
