Rackets by wakelys

Rackets

This is on the wall of the local Tennis Club. They play Lawn Tennis, Real Tennis, Badminton, Rackets and Padel Tennis.
Rackets started in the 18th century in two of London’s big debtors’ prisons.
Real Tennis -
Royal interest in the game in England began with Henry V but it was Henry VIII who made the greatest contribution to the game by building courts at many of his palaces and by unifying and codifying the game we play now. One of the oldest ball games still played, real tennis has the longest line of consecutive world champions of any sport!
I believe that this is popular in the USA and Australia.
Lovely wall decoration. I think tennis is popular in most countries of the world. Here it is not so popular because the main sport is football with waterpolo coming second.

The sulpture is interesting to see and the information you provided makes me stop and look at it more closely to see if I could determine the various elements of the sculpture.

What a beautiful and interesting wall piece. I think at the moment tennis is the only sport kids are allowed to play here now. All other team sports (football, rugby, basketball, volleyball and even the swimmers) have conditioning (running and/or workouts at home), but are not playing.
