British Tennis Players Worksheet 2
British Tennis Players 1 British Tennis Players 英国网球选手 How Good Are They? 他们的水平到底怎样？ Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文，然后完成练习： The Wimbledon Tennis Championships are famous around the world, with players from many different countries taking part. China’s most successful women’s international players at the moment, Zheng Jie and Li Na, will be playing in the tournament. So, what about the British players? The last time a British player won the tournament was in 1977 when Virginia Wade won the Women’s Singles title. However, in 2006, there are no high-profile British women tennis players. It’s the men who are the most successful. There are three major British male players playing at an international level at the moment. The most successful in the past has been Tim Henman. He has reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon four times, but he has failed to make the next step to the finals. In 2002 he was seeded fourth in the world. Unfortunately for Tim though, he has been unable to regain his form to this high level. He has received a lot of criticism in the press for being unable to win any tournaments, in spite of his high ranking internationally. In recent years Tim has slipped to 62 in the world rankings. He is also 31 years old so he is no longer as young or as fit as he used be. But as long as he continues to play, the British people will always get behind him and hope that he can succeed at Wimbledon.

2013 President's Report
AGM 14th October 2013. PRESIDENT’S REPORT The Tennis Year runs from October to October the AGM acting as a marker. Over the last 12 months a lot has happened from the arrival of the “Spin Doctor” aka Ball machine, as well as visiting tennis stars Tim, Gorvan, John, Tom and Mark, the first ever Grange Racketlon, fantastic team results and the start of the Racquet Development. Tennis Rules of Does and Don’ts have been updated. The Committee hopes all members familarise themselves with them especially with regards to footwear, guests and booking courts. Tennis Membership has fluctuated throughout the year, however, there has been a noticeable net increase in membership. At present there are 250 adult members. The Junior tennis section has remained strong with an average of 40 members throughout the year . 5 Junior teams participated in the East Scotland Junior Leagues this season. Thank you to David Gibson the Junior and Grange Coach. Thank you Lee and Tom the Groundsmen and to Neil Ross for overseeing the maintenance and development of all the Tennis courts throughout the year. Thank you to Neil Ross for instigating and looking after the Ball Machine, which resides in the “kennel” beside current court 7. In January 2013, Members were asked to complete a questionnaire focusing on likes, dislikes and wishes for the Tennis section and the Grange Club. This has helped the Committee to address any issues and to further develop the section. A similar questionnaire will be repeated again in January 2014. April 2013, the Tea Hut was spring‐cleaned and the Grass courts were declared open to what was to be a spectacular summer of tennis.
