Tennis, anyone?
With the U.S. Open coming to an end on Friday, when the men’s singles final will be held, this year’s tennis season could be considered officially over. Yes, this is the fourth and last of the grand slam tournaments that punctuate the year. Of course, the rest of the tournaments held all over the world are important, and rife with juicy prizes, but the grand slam tournaments have always been the ones that draw more attention, the ones that hand out more points for the players’ ranking, and, in brief, the most prestigious to win (or even, just to participate in).
Tennis season may be over but that doesn’t mean you can’t play your favorite sport all year round. Yes! Search your inventory and find those cute short shorts, a pair of comfortable sneakers, tube socks, and a light t-shirt and then point your teleporters to TT Enterprises, a sim devoted to all kinds of sports including, of course, a tennis court.
Pick up a racket, follow the instructions on the board and in no time, you’ll be emulating the athletic exploits of the biggest names on the tour. Don’t forget, if you want to play tennis, you need a partner, so maybe finding one would be the first thing to do. Have fun!
