Three years ago, I didn't like tennis. But, something had changed me. In July 2019
This text is for questions 9 to 12.
Three years ago, I didn't like tennis. But, something had changed me. In July 2019, I went to a tennis match held in my town. I was there to watch the spectators, not the players, and I found it fascinating. The match was between the famous local player, Drew Hammington, and an unknown player, David Jacobs. The result was a predictably easy for Drew, who beat David 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.
At the start of the match, all the spectators were cheering for David, clapping, whooping, and shouting, "Come on, David!" Every time he scored a point or even made a good shot, they would scream his name, while Drew only got a few polite claps. When I asked my friends why they were supporting the unknown player, they explained that they needed a new winner.
I watched complacently for a bit, and was just beginning to get bored. Then, I ate my sweet chocolate ice cream when something strange happened. Drew did something particularly good and the people around me started whooping, cheering, and clapping him. I asked them why they cheered Drew then. They explained that David wouldn't win the game, and they wouldn't feel ashamed. That aroused me to watch the match seriously. David had tried hard to win the game, and his skill was great, but the opponent was indeed better than him. David lost but he could play again for the third place.
I couldn't wait to see David in the next game. He was so good that new fans followed his social media, including me. Fortunately, he won the third place. From that moment, I love tennis.
