Special tennis in Sydney – level 2

20-01-2015 07:00

Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt were in speedboats and played tennis under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The game between the boats was a warm-up for a friendly match at the Opera House.

The event promoted the new Fast4 Tennis which people showed on TV for the first time. The design of Fast4 Tennis is for busy people. It speeds up the game and simplifies it.

Difficult words: warm-up (an exercise which is a preparation for an activity), promote (to make more popular), simplify (to make something simpler).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
