The Tennis Match
Serena is crazy about tennis. By the age of four she had already received her first tennis racquet and her first trainers. Today, she has an important match. She is already a little bit nervous.
Luckily, she has the first serve. She positions herself at the baseline and takes one more deep breath. The umpire is sitting in his high chair and is concentrating hard. The stands around the tennis court are packed to the very last seat. All eyes are on Serena. But unfortunately, she misses the serve because she is so nervous.
The first ball that comes her way has an unbelievable force. She hits it over the net with her brilliant forehand. Her opponent’s backhand is really something but the ball goes out. The ballboy sets off immediately.
The match keeps going and stays exciting right up to the end. The spectators watch the score raptly. In the end, Serena’s opponent wins in two sets. But chin up, Serena. It’s the taking part that counts!
