The first chapter contains the historical information about tennis in Estonia, tournaments and an overview of tennis clothes. Chapter two presents basic tennis rules that are necessary for playing tennis on a lower level. Chapter three concentrates on main strokes and their technique and also on foot work. The photos of tennis grips and film-making process are included in the appendices. I would like to thank my tutor Marek Koitla, Ann Maria Muuli, who was my sparring partner and Matthias Vetevool, who helped to film my research work. 2 Sisukord Sissejuhatus ..................................................................................................................................... 4 1.Tennise ajalugu ............................................................................................................................. 5 1. 1.

The space was vast, and the massive metal delivery-bay doors offered no exterior clue as to what was taking place inside. Cary and I sat in aluminum bleachers, watching a half-dozen combatants on the mats below. "Ouch." I winced in sympathy as a guy took a kick to the groin. Even with padding, that had to sting. "How's Stanton going to find out, Cary?" "Because you'll be in the hospital?" He glanced at me. "Seriously. Krav Maga is brutal. They're just sparring and it's full contact. And even if the bruises don't give you away, your stepdad will find out somehow. He always does." "Because of my mom; she tells him everything. But I'm not telling her about this." "Why not?"

Then, as if on cue, both of us ordered Schizandra berry tea. The description? 2000 years ago Shen Nong rst identi ed this potent elixir as an "adaptogenic tonic" (i.e., it gives you whatever you need: energy, relaxation, beauty, sexual prowess). Things were off to a good start. After some flirting and playful verbal sparring, I made my move. "Don't let this weird you out." I took an electronic food scale out of my man-purse,6 which I use to carry odd items, and began separating all of my food so I could weigh the individual pieces. This was, of course, the beginning of the end. Ah, l' amor ... It is fickle and not fond of serial-killer-like behavior. But love could wait. I had other things on my mind. It was just the beginning of a 12-hour quest for fatness, and it was my second attempt. The
