We hold out heads up;
Walking up to the net

We look into our opponent’s eyes
And we say “up or down?”

We spin our rackets and
watch it hit the ground

Finally toes to the base line
And our weapon of choice in hand

Up in the air goes the ball;
And we are on our tip toes

Reach! Reach! Reach!
Slam it and the game begins.

Down the line
To the net and SLAM!

Fifteen: Love
Already making the game a statistic

If tennis were easy;
we wouldn’t bother with it.

Tennis is a thinking game, and very competitive. Love means 0 and tennis scores are added in 15; kind of like how how football is added by 7's. This is just the first point. That first point you get is really accomplishing. The base line is the back line of a tennis court, where u serve from.
