It measures ap- proximately 2,400 miles East to West and 2,000 miles North to South. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD YOU and your outfit have been ordered to Australia as a part of a world-wide offensive against Hitler and the Japs – a drive that will end in Tokyo and Berlin. You’re going to meet a people who like Americans and whom you will like. The Australians have much in common with us – they’re a pioneer people; they believe in personal freedom; they love sports; and they’re out to lick the Axis all the way. But there are a lot of differences too – their ways of living and thinking on all sorts of things – like tea, central heating, the best way to spend Sunday, or saluting officers and such. You’ll find out about all those, but the main point is they like us, and we like them. Since American troops first landed in Australia, the Australians have gone out of their way to welcome them and make them feel at home. Australian newspapers have used up newsprint (and it’s scarce) to print baseball scores and major league standings and home town news – and even American cooking recipes for housewives.

Highest governing body International Tennis Federation First played 19th century (U.K.) Characteristics Contact No Team members Single or doubles Categorization Racquet sport Equipment Tennis ball, tennis racquet Olympic 1896-1924, 1988-present Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. The modern game of tennis originated in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" which has close connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis. Until then, "tennis" referred to the latter sport: for example, in Disraeli's novel Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis. As it is the Derby [classic horse race], nobody will be there".[1] After its creation, lawn tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world.[2] Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs. The rules of tennis have not changed much since the 1890s.
