I wanted to make a Wimbledon thread, but its all over before you know it.
I really liked playing tennis at school because it was one on one, but it was discouraged because it wasn't a team sport.
thats very odd
in my school any sport was encouraged. we had like 7 tennis courts. (we have had 1 person play in wimbledon he did few years ago) he was on my year at school too was very odd seeing him play. but it was his dream
^Yeah we had 2 tennis courts. Very badly maintained, and no, tennis was not encouraged at school. Can you imagine a P.E session with 30 students and only 2 tennis courts. Hence the reason why NZ is very poor at playing tennis at high level.
Rugby and Soccer were encouraged as was athletics.
