Fans Show Support for Favorite Players at Tennis Tournaments
Fans of tennis are as passionate about the sport and their favorite players as any other sports or entertainment field. They will travel to other cities and even countries to see one of the Majors tournaments and to get a chance to watch their star player in person. In addition, this obsession has also inspired more people to take up the sport on a hobby or amateur basis, which has contributed to health and serves as a great form of exercise. Once a person gets a dose of the tennis bug it tends to remain with them throughout their life.
There are four main tournaments that represent the top players in the sport and are extremely popular with audiences from around the world. The tournaments, known as the Grand Slam Tournaments, also called the Majors, are the Australian Open, US Open, Wimbledon and the French Open. The Wimbledon tennis tournament is held in the London suburb of Wimbledon. These tournaments are where the best of the best players meet and compete to be recognized as the best. And with the various temperaments seen in the past, they have also served as a chance to see as many of the star players as possible and hope for some personality display. However, behavioral protocol asks for a more professional on court behavior and this is generally the case with the players.
The Australian Open is the first major tournament of the year and takes place in January at Melbourne Park. Roger Federer won the men’s singles title and Serena Williams won the women’s. The French Open is currently underway and began on May 23. It will extend through the beginning of June. We can look forward to the Wimbledon schedule this year as the tournament takes place in late June and early July. The US Open takes place during the last part of August and early September in Queens, New York.
