I love playing tennis and I’m on the tennis team at Del Norte.

Fun facts about tennis:

  • The longest tennis match in history lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes spread over 3 days.
  • Tennis balls were originally white, but they were changed to yellow in 1972 to make them more visible on TV broadcasts.
  • The fastest serve in tennis was recorded at 263 km/h (163.7 mph).
  • The term “love” in tennis, meaning zero, is thought to come from the French word “l’œuf,” meaning “egg,” because an egg looks like a zero.
