Key Points

In tennis, points are uniquely referred to as "love," "fifteen" and so on. Learning the terms such as “deuce,” “advantage” and “server” will help you better understand live commentaries. Watching at a court, spectators will be able to gain a direct sense of the emotions of the players. The tactical abilities of the players and the tense atmosphere during rallies are overwhelming.

History

The origin of tennis dates back to the pre-Christian era, when it was played by ancient Egyptians as a religious activity. Later in Roman times, this sport was played for recreation. The predecessor of modern tennis originated in France around the eighth century, when it was enjoyed by noble French families as a pastime. Tennis had been included in the Olympic programme since the Athens 1896 Games before being discontinued at the Amsterdam 1928 Games. The sport was considered contrary to the amateur nature of the Olympics due to the rise of professional tennis tournaments. After that, professionals were finally allowed to compete in the Olympic Games, and tennis returned as an official sport at the Seoul 1988 Games, 64 years after its last appearance.

ITF introduces Continental Qualification places for Tokyo 2020

Spoiler:

The ITF today announced the introduction of six Continental Qualification places for both the men’s and women’s singles events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Tennis Event. The new qualification places have been approved by the IOC Executive Board as part of the Tokyo 2020 Qualification System for tennis that will be released by the IOC in the coming weeks.

The 2020 Olympic Tennis Event will once again feature five disciplines: men’s singles and doubles, women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Each singles draw will comprise 64 players, with a maximum of four players per nation. There will be 56 direct acceptances as at previous Games, and eight ITF places, including the six Continental Qualification places.

For the first time in Olympic history, players will have a chance to earn their place in the Olympic Tennis Event through success at one of the regional multi-sport games, including the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 African and Pan American Games. In addition, one place will be awarded to the highest ranked man and woman in both Europe and Oceania from a country not yet represented in singles.

The following will qualify for a Continental Qualification place provided their ranking is within the Top 300 on the singles rankings of 8 June 2020, and provided the quota for that nation has not yet been filled by four direct acceptances:

Continent Qualification Route Quota Place Quota per gender
North & South America 2019 Pan American Games - Lima, Peru Singles winner and runner up 2
Asia 2018 Asian Games - Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia Singles winner 1
Africa 2019 African Games - Luksaka, Zambia Singles winner 1
Europe Universality Place Highest ranked athlete on the Singles Rankings that is from an NOC not yet represented in singles 1
Oceania Universality Place Highest ranked athlete on the Singles Rankings that is from an NOC not yet represented in singles 1


ITF President David Haggerty said: “The introduction of Continental Qualification places is a significant and positive change that we believe will help strengthen participation in these important regional games, and will provide opportunities for additional nations to contest the Olympic Tennis Event. This initiative forms part of our commitment under the ITF 2024 strategy to secure mutually beneficial partnerships, and we look forward to working with our Regional Associations to ensure successful implementation.”

Tennis was a part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The first woman to win an Olympic medal in any sport was tennis player Charlotte Cooper (GBR) at the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris. After the 1924 Paris Games, tennis withdrew from the Olympics but returned as a demonstration event at 1984 Los Angeles and as a full medal sport at 1988 Seoul. Fifty-six nations took part in the Rio 2016 Olympic Tennis Event, with Andy Murray (GBR) and Monica Puig (PUR) winning the singles gold medals.

Rules could be eased to help smooth Roger Federer’s path to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Spoiler:

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) will consider relaxing its strict Olympic eligibility criteria so that Roger Federer can compete at Tokyo 2020 despite him offering no indication of whether he will appear again in the Davis Cup.

Under ITF rules — which have been further complicated by the introduction of a new format — players must fulfil Davis Cup participation requirements to be eligible for Olympic nomination. In the case of Federer, who has not played in the competition since 2015, he will have to be part of the Switzerland team at two separate ties before June 2020.

The Tokyo Olympics have always been seen as a potential swansong for Federer — who will be approaching his 39th birthday — and a last opportunity to gain a…

Czy może ktoś potwierdzić, że zamiast trzeciego seta będzie superTB?

[Barty]

If both players have scored three points, the score is said to be ‘deuce’ and the game continues until there is a difference of two points between the players. The first player to win six games wins the set. If the game score is tied at five-all, the first player to win seven games wins the set; if the game score is tied at six-all, a tie-break decides the winner. However, a tie-break is not used in the final set.

Czyli gramy pełnego trzeciego seta i to na przewagi.
