Tennis


Running miles on end to chase a ball 

Deciding where to place the ball after catching up

Anticipating your opponents next move

All of these actions have to be enacted all at once 

Out! 

That simple lie or misguided call can ruin it all

That's why it has the name

As the gentlemen's game.
