Writing 5: A PROFILE OF A SPORT OR A CRAZE

Tennis has existed in 1859, but its origins are in the 19th century. It started in the United Kingdom, but now there are clubs in more than one hundred countries.

The biggest international Tennis competition is the Wimbledon Championship, which started in 1877. Women have competed in this championship since 1884. Tennis also became an Olympic sport in 1896.

One of my favorite competitors is Rafael Nadal. Rafael became world champion in his class in 2008. He was the first Spanish man to win a gold medal at the championship.
